Now your arms: Feel them get heavy and relax,... - Deepstash

Now your arms: Feel them get heavy and relax, starting with your dominant side. If you're right-handed, start with your right bicep and feel it relax. If it's not, tense it fully and then let it go slack. Repeat the process with your hands.

4. Let your legs go limp.

Feel your right quad sinking down, getting heavier and heavier. Next your right calf, ankle, and foot. Repeat on the other side.

5. Clear your mind for 10 seconds.
