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.

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.

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...

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.

Progressive muscle relaxation, or PMR, is an exercise that involves gently tightening and then releasing a muscle or muscle group. Actively increasing tension and then allowing the tension to release can help muscles relax. This type of exercise is done by relaxing one muscle group at a time, and progressing through each area of the body until all the muscles are relaxed. This is why it is a progressive muscle relaxation.

Remember the following safety considerations for any relaxation exercise.
- None of the movements should cause pain or discomfort.
- Do each exercise gently, only tightening an area until you feel tension (not pain) in the muscle.
- Avoid any movements that would be risky for you. For example, if you have an injury, avoid tensing the muscles in that area. Just think about relaxing the area without tensing it first.
- Listen to your body, and don’t do anything that is uncomfortable.
You will probably experience a reduction in muscle tension and will feel more relaxed, but you will still experience the benefits of relaxation even if you feel the same.
Relax with calm breathing as you take a quick relaxation break just to breathe. It is amazing how just a few slow, deep breaths can help you feel more calm and focused.

The hand rehabilitation relaxation exercise will begin with calm breathing and relaxation while you warm up your hands. Then, tendon gliding exercises, gentle range of motion, self massage, and relaxation will allow you to completely relax your hands. For pictures of how to do these exercises, and a video to follow along, go to relaxation-audio.com/hand.
Before you begin this hand rehabilitation relaxation exercise or apply heat to your hands, there are some safety considerations to be aware of. Consult your physiotherapist, occupational therapist, physician, or other healthcare provider to make sure that heat and range of motion are safe for you. If you have a recent injury and swelling is present, heat might make the inflammation worse. Once you have confirmed that it is safe to apply heat to your hands, make sure the heat source is comfortably warm, but not too hot. If you have reduced feeling in your hands, you will need to check the temperature with a thermometer and make sure it is not too hot. For this exercise, I suggest keeping the temperature no hotter than 125 degrees Fahrenheit, or 52 degrees celsius. You can still do this exercise without applying heat, so if you are not sure if heat would be helpful or safe for you, do not use an external heat source when you do this exercise.
Do not do any movements that cause or worsen pain. Make sure to do every exercise gently. It is okay to just move a little without going through the full range of motion. Be gentle, and listen to your body.
Christian relaxation exercise focused on feeling peaceful by spending time with God. It includes prayer, relaxing the body, and being in God’s presence, safe and protected.

I would like to start this relaxation exercise with a short prayer. Prayer helps me set aside the worries of my day so I can relax. It also helps me focus on God, Who is my source of comfort, strength, peace, and rest.
After the prayer, relax the body by releasing tension from muscles. And then for the remainder of this relaxation for feeling peaceful, draw near to God, feeling His love and acceptance, wrapped up in His protective embrace. Enjoy a peaceful, relaxing time of nearness to God and enjoying God's presence.

Progressive muscle relaxation, or PMR, is an exercise that involves gently tightening and then releasing a muscle or muscle group. Actively increasing tension and then allowing the tension to release can help muscles relax. This type of exercise is done by relaxing one muscle group at a time, and progressing through each area of the body until all the muscles are relaxed. This is why it is a progressive muscle relaxation.
Remember the following safety considerations for any relaxation exercise.
- None of the movements should cause pain or discomfort.
- Do each exercise gently, only tightening an area until you feel tension (not pain) in the muscle.
- Avoid any movements that would be risky for you. For example, if you have an injury, avoid tensing the muscles in that area. Just think about relaxing the area without tensing it first.
- Listen to your body, and don’t do anything that is uncomfortable.
You will probably experience a reduction in muscle tension and will feel more relaxed, but you will still experience the benefits of relaxation even if you feel the same.
If you have been working or studying and need to take a quick and restful break, follow along with this guided relaxation exercise to take a quick stretch.
Breaks can help you focus. Sitting for long periods of time is unhealthy, and it is important to take regular breaks to move around.
When you follow along with this guided study break, avoid any movements that cause discomfort or pain. Make sure to listen to your body. Only stretch until you feel a slight lengthening of the muscle. The stretches should not be painful. If any stretch feels uncomfortable, ease up until you find a comfortable position, and stop if you need to.
