About Relaxation and Mindfulness

Why Use Guided Imagery?

Guided imagery relaxation audios use calming narration and vivid mental imagery to help you reduce stress, ease anxiety, and promote a sense of inner peace. These exercises gently guide your focus away from daily worries and into a soothing, imagined environment for restorative relaxation.

How to Use These Exercises:
  • Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down.

  • Close your eyes and let the imagery transport you.

  • If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to the words.

  • Although the sessions may gradually guide you back to awareness, if you use for sleep simply ignore the wake-up instructions and allow yourself to drift off naturally.

  • Do not use while operating a vehicle!
