Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. As breathing becomes slower and deepens, focus on your body and relaxing it.
Starting from your toes, work upwards, relaxing every part of your body as you proceed. You can do this by either tensing then relaxing each part of your body or by moving up, visualizing each part of you relaxing as you go.
