Another relaxation method

A relaxation method I like to use goes something like this: You can sit in a comfortable chair (one that you like or a favorite chair/couch), close your eyes, start with your toes and imagine the outside of the area from toes on up "filling up" on the outside...then after your whole body is filled (of the outside skin) from toe to head, imagine that it is filling up from toes to head but on the inside of toe, foot, leg, etc....all the way to top of head. By then, you should be fairly relaxed. Then, I like to imagine that I am entering a corridor that travels slightly downward. It is only me there so no distractions. I imagine I am floating down and as I float down I am relaxing even more. I arrive at five deep steps and imagine going from step five on down relaxing at each step on the way down. When I get to step one, I am very, very relaxed (almost hypnotized) but then, I get to an "airlock" which I open and, when inside, get relaxed even more. When I open the airlock I am at "relaxation station" where I am so relaxed it is almost a shame. This part is personal to me and you; I go through "my" door and enter "my" room where I (as my own fantasy) have a relaxation reclyner. I sit in it and recline and am looking out a large, thick glass window where the oceon is there and small waves or rolling in. It is the only sound I can hear and nobody else can get in my room. I listen and watch the waves for about five to ten minutes. When leaving, I sort of go through the steps backward. When I am out of my cooridor and into the sunshine, I rub my head, eyes and face and get back to normal.
