Guided Imagery
Below are several videos of guided imagery accompanied with relaxing music. These videos are best enjoyed when the viewer is in an environment free from distractions (little noise, little light, etc.). Although this is only a small portion of the amount of guided imagery YouTube videos, they will still help to relax you and relieve stress.
