Sensory Relaxation Scripts: Free Relaxation Scripts

These sensory relaxation scripts involve the use of the senses (vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell) to bring about relaxation. This may involve imagining or experiencing different sensations.

The free relaxation scripts provided here allow you to learn to quickly and easily relax at home.

Your own voice can be particularly effective for inducing the relaxation response, because people often respond best to suggestions they provide themselves. You might find you are able to relax listening to your own voice better than listening to someone else's. Try it to find out!

Please Note:

Use relaxation audio and videos wisely. Do not watch or listen to relaxation materials while you need to be fully awake and alert (for example, when driving). Obviously this can be dangerous. Please use relaxation sessions only when safe to do so.
