Some people think that they need to relax very deeply in order to have the healing results they’d like. You don’t have to relax deeply in order to get results, unless you’re going to have dental work or brain surgery, as you can have healing happen no matter how deeply you relax – just as long as you have the intention and the faith that it will happen. Though not everyone cares about the depth of their relaxation, and not everyone has the knack of going very deeply into relaxation, some people want to relax out into the “ozone layer.” Here are some tips for not only deepening your relaxation, but for creating more effective healing processes as well.
1.Relax yourself by counting down backwards very slowly. This is a very hypnotic thing to do. Some people like to do visualizations to relax themselves, but this may not necessarily carry them into a deeply relaxed state as effectively as slow counting down, because visualizing is a more mental type of activity. Reciting the alphabet is also effective. The reason why numbers and the alphabet are powerful is that they appeal to the more primitive part of the brain. And when you use numbers or letters with full intention of creating relaxation, very slowly, you can go so deeply that you won’t come back until the Fourth of July!
2. Get centered and make a healing connection. This may mean that you need to reduce the distractions around you, especially the noise, so you can concentrate. You get centered so that you become a “hollow bamboo” through which inspiration and meditative power can enter. It’s almost like adjusting your physical posture, only it’s an inner matter – centering yourself so that you are a vehicle through which the power of relaxation can enter. One way to do this is through your breathing. Take some deep breaths in and out. You may want to do a type of invocation or prayer asking to be a great vehicle for relaxation and healing.
3. Here is a special technique you may want to use to deepen your connection with the healing power. If you like, you can say these words:
“With the wisdom of my higher self and the power of my healing mind, I AM healing myself now. All the cells of my body, all the powers of my mind, are healing me now.” Then you might imagine yourself as healed and whole. You don’t have to visualize it, as not everyone is a visualizer, and visualization may be a mental activity for some people.. You can feel it, think about it, or just know it. Then imagine yourself going to a health practitioner who says to you, “I don’t know what you’ve been doing. It must be some kind of miracle. You’re completely healed.”
There are always great possibilities for healing and transformation – especially if you prepare the way for them. The power of healing is everywhere, and you can open the way for it as you stand in its flowing stream and allow it into your life.
With every outward breath, I relax more and more.
With every beat of my heart, I am healing.
Thanks for that, Joy. I love it!

Dear Marilyn,
I always love reading your thoughts and ideas and found this article very helpful and uplifting. I often listen to the the personal CD you made for me so when I read “With the wisdom of my higher self and the power of my healing mind, I AM healing myself now. All the cells of my body, all the powers of my mind, are healing me now.” your voice came shining through. Thank you for sharing your wise mind with all of us!
With love and gratitude,
Sandy

Marilyn great article. Loved your thoughts.

Thanks for your kind comment, Ardent. You’re correct that music is a powerful tool for relaxing.
Nice tips.. Some people think that they need to relax very deeply in order to have the healing results they’d like. You don’t have to relax deeply in order to get results, though not everyone cares about the depth of their relaxation.
That’s absolutely true that you don’t need to relax deeply to have results. It’s a good thing to know. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for sharing this tips. It really helps me a lot. I really want to get relax because I’m so stress with my work. With every breath I feel relax more and when my heart beats it make me feel I am healing.
Dear Cheska,
I’m very happy that you’re able to relax more and more. Just keep practicing the techniques, and you’ll have real success.
Kind regards to you!
Counting down backwards is indeed a very great form of relaxation. I have tried that so many times already. 😀
I agree, Sean. I use counting backwards with all my hypnosis clients to help them relax deeply. It’s powerful. I’m glad you shared. Thanks for writing.
