Recognize where there is tension in the body. Beginning with your toes and feet, and imagine the tension just falling away, or disappearing. Now imagine each body part from your toes all the way up, relaxing each body part. Visualize each part of your body becoming lighter and lighter as the tension is removed. Continue with your other body's parts such as calves, hips, thighs and so on until all of your body parts are relaxed up to your face and neck. You may want to use imagery that is comforting to you such as water or the wind blowing (I feel the wind blowing over my feet and calves calming and relaxing them).

Keep counting down visualizing the steps until you hit the bottom step. As you reach the bottomimagine that you are completely happy, relaxed and tension free. You may find that rolling your eyes up will increase your state of relaxation.
