Table of Contents for 30 Scripts for Relaxation, Imagery, and Inner Healing

Volume 1

by Julie Lusk

Becoming Relaxed

Feeling calm, relaxed, and centered is a foundation for any guided meditation. In fact, relaxation is healing in and of itself.

Physically relaxing the body first, before using guided imagery, increases people’s ability to concentrate and allows their minds, hearts, and spirits to be more open to the meditation. A feeling of harmony often results.

For many people relaxation is a new experience. It is important that people practice the physical form of relaxation and spend ample time with it until feeling relaxed becomes natural and easy.

The exercises in this section focus on physical relaxation. Use them on their own or combine them with an imagery exercise from one of the other sections.

  • Progressively Relaxing while Sitting in a Chair
    Designed for people sitting in chairs, this progressive relaxation exercise focuses on tensing and relaxing the different muscle groups. (20 minutes)
  • Breathing for Relaxation and Health
    Effective relaxation requires proper breathing. In this script, participants concentrate on their breathing by focusing on what their bodies are doing as they take in deep breaths, hold them, and slowly exhale. (10 minutes)
  • 1 to 10
    In this brief script, participants lie on their backs and tense their muscles as they count from 1 to 10, then release the tension as they count back down to 1. (5 minutes)
  • The Magic Ball
    In this visualization script, participants imagine they each possess a magic ball that travels over, under, and through their bodies, relaxing their muscles as it goes. (20 minutes)
  • Total Relaxation
    An eclectic introduction to some of the most popular relaxation techniques, Total Relaxation includes breathing, progressive relaxation, visualization, and body scanning. Use a part or all of this script as a short relaxation exercise prior to a guided meditation in one of the other sections of the book. (10 minutes)

Nature and the Environment
Being connected to the natural world–the ocean, forest, sky, and mountains–is for most people both relaxing and healthy. The guided meditations in this section help people find their connection with the natural world and thereby learn about forgiveness and love.

Note: Before beginning any script, describe to the participants what images you will use. If they make anyone feel uncomfortable, select an alternate script.

  • The Sea
    In this script, participants relax by taking an imaginary journey along a beach, listening to the birds and waves and watching a brilliant sunset. (5 minutes)
  • Simply Sailing
    In this script, participants imagine setting sail from a quiet dock, experiencing the sea with all its beauty and challenges, and reaching an island paradise. They are invited to release unnecessary personal ìbaggageî and return to the dock with a newfound energy. (25 minutes)
  • A Day in the Life of Another Creature
    In this relaxation and visualization script, participants let go of tension and then explore the wildlife found around a pond, first through the perspective of an animal or insect, and then from the human perspective. (20 minutes)
  • The Beach
    In this script, participants imagine they are on vacation, strolling along a quiet ocean beach, free of the usual daily pressures and hassles. (5 minutes)
  • Flying with the Eagle
    In this script for kids (and for the young-at-heart), participants leave their homes through a secret door, travel to the forest of a magnificent Mother Eagle, and go for a ride on her back. (15 minutes)
  • Oak Creek
    In this script, participants experience and feel a personal connection with the energy and the healing power of the earth and sky. (10 minutes)
  • The Night Sky
    In this script, participants imagine looking at the stars of a clear night sky and feeling their minds expand into the infinite expanse of space. (8 minutes)
  • Ocean Waves
    In this script, participants dissolve their worries and troubles by imagining they are listening to the rhythm of the ocean waves. (12 minutes)

Inner Answers
Taking the time to regularly explore and reflect upon the inner world of intuition, feelings, and thoughts can be uplifting and is a sure path to personal, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.

The guided meditations in this section help people get in touch with their intuitive inner selves so that they may find answers to lifeís questions from within.

  • Your Inner Adviser
    In this meditation, participants have a conversation with their inner advisor to develop their intuitionómaking decisions based on gut feelings rather than on reactions to social influence. (18 minutes)
  • Fortune Cookies
    In this script, participants tap into their intuitive selves by imagining that they are reading messages contained in fortune cookies. (12 minutes)
  • Your Inner Child
    In this script, participants get to know, communicate with, and learn from their inner child. (5 minutes)
  • Time Travel: So What Do You Want to Do for A Living?
    In this script, participants imagine the future to discover potential career paths and living conditions. (20 minutes)

Healing
Integrating the mind, body, emotions, and spirit opens up vast inner resources of intuition, wisdom, and personal power.

So many of us live as if fragmented–thinking of one thing, saying something else, acting one way publicly, while feelings, moods, and emotions provide a constantly changing and inconsistent undertow.

The guided meditations in this section focus on using the mind to heal the body and emotions and to bring thoughts, words, actions, and feelings into harmony and alignment.

  • Love, Joy, and Optimism
    In this guided meditation, participants journey down a private path; encounter their own personal guide and shadow; feel love, joy, hope, and optimism; and learn to accept themselves no matter what is going on in their lives. (30 minutes)
  • Healing Yourself and the Universe
    In this script, participants relax and feel protected as past hurts and negativity are released and forgiven through the experience of being surrounded by a healing, loving light. (20 minutes)
  • Sun Meditation for Healing
    In this script, participants experience the healing power and energy of the sun as they imagine it warming and relaxing them. (5 minutes)
  • Vitamin T Imagery
    In this script, participants absorb Vitamin T, the nurturing nutrient found in healthy touch, by imagining they are receiving a massage. (18 minutes)
  • Food for Thought: Imagery for Weight Control
    In this script, participants learn to think differently about food, about dieting, and about themselves by stimulating their ability to make informed choices. This script is designed to take the struggle out of weight loss and weight maintenance while increasing the joy that should accompany positive changes. (15 minutes)
  • Breastfeeding
    In this guided meditation, mothers visualize the miraculous nursing process while nursing their babies. (10 minutes)

Personal Growth
Using imagery to encourage self-esteem, offer positive affirmations, focus on personal growth and development, and increase people’s ability to imagine sights, sounds, and other physical sensations are the main goals of these guided meditations.

  • Addiction to Wellness
    In this script, participants seek physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual wellness. Positive self-esteem is nurtured. (10 minutes)
  • Body Image Visualization
    In this visualization script, participants picture their own body images and practice positive affirmations to promote self-esteem and inner beauty. (25 minutes)
  • OM Visitation
    In this script, participants meditate on the word ìOMî to help them connect with people they love, but who are far away. (5 minutes)
  • The Blue Period
    In this empowerment script, participants observe their lives to discover trends and patterns that are occurring. This script parallels the way an art historian might look at a painterís life. For example, Picasso had his Blue Period, Pink Period, Cubist Period, and a dozen other periods throughout his life. Your life passes through phases as well. (20 minutes)
  • You Are a Child Again
    In this script, participants imagine they are children again. Children who have fun playing and moving, are confident and self-assured, and unconditionally loved. (5 minutes)
  • Flower Meditation
    In this visualization script, participants increase their ability to imagine seeing, touching, smelling, and feeling. (20 minutes)
  • A Meditation of a World Vision
    In this guided meditation, participants experience their connection to the life-force of the universe by lying on the ground and imagining the earth ís energy coming through them. (15 minutes)

“Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief contains a practical set of spiritual reflections and techniques drawing insights from India’s rich yogic traditions.  A useful contribution to the growing body of Yoga literature for modern day spiritual seekers, or simply anyone seeking a calmer, more stress free mode of living.”
Edwin Bryant, PhD, Professor of Hindu Religion and Philosophy, Rutgers University

 

“All relaxation is good. Some is super. Yoga Nidra is a superb way to reduce stress and improve your health. I have personally done a variety of yogic exercises for many years and have also done scores of relaxation exercises for many years.  I have hundreds of CD’s including guided imagery and a great deal of outstanding music. Despite my experience, Julie’s Yoga Nidra provides the deepest relaxation I can imagine.  If you have not yet conquered the art of relaxation, I strongly recommend her work ASAP!”

“Thank you Julie, for making the practical and profound practice of Yoga Nidra clear, concise and accessible. By first mapping out the effects of stress on body and mind this book then offers a variety of well-researched “relaxation practices” to choose from, allowing us the flexibility to choose one or rotate our practice.  Relaxation becomes the fertile foundation for living a life that brings us happiness, health and the dynamic energy to accomplish our heart’s dreams.  It is a book that would be a welcome addition to any bedside table.  That is where my copy will reside!”
Nischala Joy Devi, teacher, author The Secret Power of Yoga, and The Healing Path of Yoga

 

“Congratulations to Julie Lusk on the publication of Yoga Nidra for Relaxation & Stress Relief.  This book has arrived at the right time due to the high amount of stress all over and the huge need for a comprehensive anti-stress mechanism. I feel that this book will definitely help people overcome their stress and other stress-related disorders.”
Dr Kamakhya Kumar, M. Sc & Ph.D (Yogic Science), Chief editor, International Journal of Yoga and Allied Sciences, Founder Teacher & Assoc. Professor, Dept. of Yoga and Health, Chief coordinator, Center of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (Additional Charge) Dev Sanskriti University, Haridwar, India.  Author of ten reputed books on yoga & over sixty research articles in different journals.  He has taught post graduates for more than twelve years and guides PhD candidates working on various research projects.

 

“Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief is a very comprehensive study of the positive effects that yoga has on combating the stress and tension we all hold onto. It is a well-organized and very practical guide. The personal stories clearly demonstrate how yoga directly decreases stress and why. The questionnaire is a great tool for personally guiding the reader towards the path of stress reduction. Once our stressors and symptoms are identified, we are more equipped to conquer them.  Julie Lusk has created a book that describes the philosophy, physiology, and spirituality of yoga and directly connects this to stress reduction. It is an extremely valuable and interesting book from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seriously interested in managing the stress both in their personal and professional lives.”
Don R. Powell, Ph.D., President & CEO. American Institute for Preventive Medicine

 

“Yoga Nidra is a very effective and useful tool to relieve daily stress, to promote deep healing, to reprogram subconscious negative patterns, and to release energy blocks which prevent us from growing physically and spiritually. In this book, Julie Lusk gives a very good and elaborate description of its benefits, how it works and the technique to practice it. A recommended book for anyone.”
Krishna Darshan, (Alan Wiuker) is a direct disciple of Swami Vishnu-Devananda, He teaches yoga teachers training courses, Vedanta philosophy and Vedic Astrology at the international Sivananda Ashrams since 1986.

 

“Yoga Nidra is the art and science of relaxing consciously and deeply to reveal one’s true Self.  It streamlines and magnifies the powerful benefits from meditative practice, traditional yoga, and conventional yoga postures by combining the essence of each into one discipline.

“Along with biofeedback and meditation, the practice of Yoga has garnered increasing interest and application in the management of stress and trauma. In her new book, Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief, Julie Lusk provides both a comprehensive review of the rationale and practice of Yoga Nidra, and a beautifully developed, step-by-step manual for its effective practice. She presents a comprehensive lay-friendly review of the body/brain physiology of stress which provides a powerful scientific background for its practice. This is an important addition to the literature on the management of health and the treatment of chronic disease and trauma.”
Robert C. Scaer, MD., Author of Trauma, Dissociation and Disease, The Trauma Spectrum and Eight Keys to Body Brain Balance.

 

“Julie Lusk, an experienced yoga teacher, has written a very thorough book not only on Yoga Nidra – to sleep into union with oneself – but on the whole topic of stress and relaxation. Offering important research as to why relaxation is important, she then takes us step-by step through invaluable exercises and meditations to reconnect us to our inner joy and peace. This book is suitable for all those who are ready to take the stress out of life.”
Christine Page MD., Teacher & author of Frontiers of Health

 

“Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief provides a positive set of self-help tools that can be used by anyone, almost anywhere, and most any time. I have successfully used Julie’s curriculum and recordings both personally and professionally. Students report feeling relaxed, safe and clear, and grounded and refreshed with vibrant energy. Her methodology and instructions contribute to reductions in stress, anxiety, and negative thinking. Julie’s systematic analysis of stress, inclusion of research and references to evidence-based studies add scientific credibility to this yogic process and beautifully complement the thousands of years of traditional anecdotal evidence that repeatedly demonstrate the efficacy of this subtle, highly sophisticated approach to mind-body well-being.  This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in developing greater self-reliance for their own well-being and to have enhanced capacity to be of genuine service to others.”

“Julie’s wonderful book, “Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief” is exactly that.  It allows the reader to be aware and identify stress and to mindfully treat and control its effects with the use of yoga nidra. The power of using sankalpas, koshas and mudras is clearly explained and empowers the effectiveness of yoga nidra.  The technique of Yoga Nidra is easily understood, safe, and practical and truly a great resource for anyone, especially those seeking relief from the effects of stress as well as helping professionals of all types who provide stress management to others.”

“Many people think of yoga as physical poses and stretching.  While these are a part of yoga, I learned in my first yoga teacher training over 20 years ago that Yoga Nidra is the most important part of a practice – especially for stressed-out people.  I really appreciate the way Julie provides context, scientific data, and practical applications.  Whether you are new to yoga or are a longtime practitioner, Yoga Nidra will enhance and expand your practice and transform your life.”

“Yoga Nidra is a much needed antidote to our fast-paced living, balancing the rapid vinyasa practices that have taken over the yoga world. Clear and concise, this book embodies the true essence of yoga, which is about cultivating a state of aware stillness. From this place, the jewels of consciousness can arise. With step by step instructions, well-grounded in yoga philosophy, this book outlines a practice that could change your life. Julie Lusk has written a real gem.”

“I love this book! Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief will dramatically change your beliefs about yourself, your health, and your life! Julie Lusk knows the deeper practices and inner truths of yoga and shares it in understandable and informative ways.  As a Naturopathic Physician, I listen to patients diagnosed with life threatening diseases and often hear the inner conflict between their subconscious and conscious beliefs. Resolving these conflicts, and thus dramatically changing their health, is vital.  Yoga nidra, and using a sankalpa, is designed to accomplish this.”
