4-hour Calming Relaxation for Dog Separation Anxiety (voice only)

7/7/2024
This calming relaxation is for dogs and humans. The audio is over 4 hours long with voice only (no music). My dogs like listening to my podcast when they are home alone, so I decided to make this calming relaxation episode especially for them (and to relieve dog separation anxiety for any dogs who like to listen to calm audio in the background when left alone). This exercise is for humans, too. It can work well as a sleep relaxation for anyone who wants to listen to a slow, calm audio where not much is happening. In this version, content repeats to create a long relaxation audio track that will keep playing for 4 hours, which can be easier than trying to cue up a sleep playlist. A calm, quiet, peaceful, and very long relaxation audio for anyone who wants to be calm, fall asleep, or simply relax. You can find more peaceful relaxation scripts for sleep, stress relief, and health at https://relaxation-audio.com. Let’s relax. Get nice and comfortable as you lie down and settle in. Good. It is time to rest and be calm and relaxed. Breathe slowly and calmly. So quiet and peaceful. I’ll count to 4 as you breathe in, and count to 5 as you breathe out. Breathe in, 1, 2, 3, 4. Breathe out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So very nice and peaceful. So good. Rest.

PEM Relaxation for ME/CFS: A Morning in the Park

5/1/2024
This relaxation is a calm, low key way to reset and recover from a crash if you have post-exertional malaise (PEM) or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). There are no background sounds in this version - just the spoken audio. This relaxation script can also be relevant for those who have long COVID, post-COVID, depression, stroke, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions that can cause fatigue, and for anyone who is experiencing fatigue or burnout. Because your body may be feeling uncomfortable or in pain, this ME/CFS relaxation script does not focus on the body. The script includes a long, slow-paced story about a peaceful park. The story can help with rest and relaxation if you’re feeling tired even just lying there. This relaxation can help to calm your mind and rest your body when you are too fatigued to do anything. There is some calm breathing at the start of the relaxation, but otherwise this script does not focus on the body. This can be helpful if focusing on your body is not comfortable or if doing so is less relaxing than turning your focus elsewhere. If you prefer to do more body and muscle relaxation first, you may want to listen to a short physical relaxation exercise and then proceed with this one. You can listen to these and all of my other relaxation recordings on my website, https://relaxation-audio.com.

Let’s begin by taking a few moments to clear your mind so you can relax and hear from God. Close your eyes, get comfortable, and breathe. Sit in silence, just breathing. Let your thoughts and worries go. Just breathe… quiet… still… restful. Concentrate on the feeling of the air moving into your lungs as you inhale… and out slowly as you exhale. Ever so softly breathing… noticing the rise and fall of your chest with each calm breath. (Pause) Now that you have taken a moment of stillness, consider the things that have been on your mind lately. Take one minute to acknowledge and reflect on the things that are worrying you, or that you have to get done, or that you are facing right now. (Pause 1 minute) You may want to give your worries to God by telling him about the things you are thinking about. I’ll pause for one more minute to allow you time to share your thoughts with God in whatever way you may choose. (Pause 1 minute) Now I invite you to pray with me if you want to, or you can take these next few moments to spend with God in a way that feels meaningful to you. The relaxation script continues...

Autogenic Relaxation Technique with Music

6/5/2022
Relax by imagining that your body feels heavy and warm with this autogenic relaxation technique. Music Credit Dewdrop Fantasy by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3645-dewdrop-fantasy License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the autogenic relaxation technique was invented by Johannes Heinrich Schultz, a German Psychiatrist (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autogenic%20training). Autogenic relaxation allows you to relax by imagining that your body feels heavy and warm. Imagining these sensations can alter the blood flow in your body so that it matches the way your blood vessels would be while you are relaxed. In other words, you use your mind to create a feeling of relaxation in the body.
