DR. PHIL'S RELAXATION SCRIPT:  Appendix A, page 285 - 286 WLC book  BREATHE to count of FIVE each way ...in and out... (7 FOR FOOTBALL STARS).  Ten each way to go to sleep. Count for yourself for each in-breath and out-breath for at least five minutes.  To ten to relax to go to sleep.  Oh, remember doctor on your show that said to count backwards in 3's (?) from 300.

Dr. Jim, note to yourself that you are balancing your out-breaths and in-breaths, letting the stress and tension leave your body, and allowing the good nurturing air to come in. You are releasing the stress and bringing the healing forces in.   Breathing out EXACTLY to count of1-2-3-4-5.

For a few moments, practice letting go of any tension, stress, feelings, or thoughts that you don't need right now. Let them go.  Then breathe in EXACTLY to the count of 1-2-3-4-5... Next, I want you to know that when you let these things go with your out-breath, you are replacing that space with good, nurturing air with your in-breath.  Visualize that good air coming into your body and healing whatever needs restoration. 

I think that you have already written your speech!

Thank you for bringing awareness to Down Syndrome. I am a special education teacher, and my students with Down Syndrome are by far my favorite. Even if am having a horrible day, they always find a way to bring a smile to my face! Thanks again for all that you do!!

I don't see how you do it all Dr. Jim.  You bless the lives of many from your family to your colleagues on THE DOCTORS,

to twitter "Ask Dr. Jim Day" to Down Syndrome Association Of Los Angeles Buddy Walk and more.  A shining example to your profession and to the human race.  Plus, you volunteer for many of the examples on THE DOCTORS.  Y'all's banter on THE DOCTORS and UR sharing on twitter often make the days of many with a smile.  Thank you Dr. Jim and all y'all at THE DOCTORS.

Sincerely, SEA

Hello... Dr. Jim,

Thank you so much, for creating such a wonderful awareness for adults and children with 'special needs.' I was fortunate enough to work with L'Arche in Edinburgh, Scotland after college. I volunteered as a house assistant, living one on one with adults with 'special needs.' I have to say, that they are a God send to us and we are blessed to have them in our lives. They are 'eternal innocence' and they make us all better people. We are blessed to be in their presence. I also have to say, that from my experience in L'Arche, Edinburgh. I have created a modern day Irish Faerytale story, and I involve my experience with adults and children with 'special needs' in my story. Hopefully, it will be published in a few months. But, I am thrilled that 'The Doctors' embrace and welcome the 'special needs' community. Sometimes, we have to forget about our own personal needs and embrace others, in order to fully be happy!

Thank you! Wish I wasn't on the east coast! I'd TOTALLY be there!

God Bless!

Laura
