So getting comfortable and cosy,
Noticing if you would like a pillow under your head,
Something to support your knees maybe,
Anything else that will make you 100% comfortable.
And just seeing if maybe the heels would like to come a little further away from one another,
A little further away from the sit bones,
If the tailbone would like to come a little closer towards the heels,
Would the fingers like to come a little further away from the wrists,
The wrists a little further away from the elbow,
The elbows a little further away from the shoulders,
The shoulders a little further away from the ears and a little closer towards the earth,
The crown of the head maybe lengthens a little further away from the spine.
And as you inhale,
You feel your front and side body move a little further away from the back body,
And you exhale the whole body releasing a little closer towards the earth.
As you become aware now of your body and the contact between your body and whatever you've chosen to support you,
Noticing how the body is able to weigh down towards the support with each exhale,
And allowing a large exhale out through the mouth,
As if you're sending a message to your body now that there's no need to move,
You're coming into relaxation.
There's no other place to be.
Nothing else to do.
At this moment,
This very moment,
You are coming into a relaxation.
As you become more aware of the space around you,
The eyes closed maybe or the gaze soft,
Just sensing into the space with your ears,
Feeling the sounds around you,
From the most obvious sounds to the subtlest of sound.
Letting your ears wander to the sounds furthest away from you.
Letting it all be part of the experience.
And then bringing the awareness to the air in your skin.
The temperature of the air,
Is it cool or warm?
Is there a breeze or quality of stillness?
How is your skin responding to the air?
And can you notice the moment that your air that's around you,
Turns into your breath?
And can you follow your breath through your nostril?
Following your breath as far into the body.
And notice when the breath becomes fully part of you.
When you cannot follow it anymore,
As it's a part of you.
Notice when your breath leaves the nostril.
Following your breath as far out through the nostrils as you can,
Until it's part of the space around you.
It's absorbed in the air around you.
The air that we all share,
Each and every one of us.
Just following your breath in and out of the nostrils.
And then letting your awareness come to the space,
Just a few fingers beneath your chest.
And deeper in again,
Towards the space of the spine.
Around the space of your solar plexus.
The space that could be identified in the yogic chakra system as who you are.
And can you imagine in this space a ball of light.
Beautiful,
Beautiful orb of light.
And as you inhale this orb,
It expands.
And as you exhale it comes back to the space where it began.
Just focusing on this ball of light.
And within this orb of light,
Can you imagine a smaller version of yourself.
Fast asleep.
Happily sleeping.
And this smaller version of yourself holds all of the childlike qualities that we are born with.
Curiosity,
Joy,
Mischief,
Earnest,
Wonder,
Energy,
A lightness of being.
Along with a passion.
A passion that might not gain any financial or social respect,
But it's a passion.
Might be something talking to animals or jumping in puddles.
Some other childlike quality of fun.
Each and every one of us were born with these wonders within us.
Not searching too much for what this might be might come to you later.
With all these beautiful childlike qualities within the orb.
Just by bringing your awareness to this space now,
The smaller version of you starts to stretch their arms.
Stretch their legs as they just start to awaken with a smile.
And you feel this energy within you.
And the orb is still expanding with each inhale.
And these beautiful qualities within the orb now will touch around the body,
Shining a light in your body through each and every part that I mentioned.
Starting all the way towards the back of the heart.
To the space of the shoulder blade.
Backs of the shoulders.
And all the way down the arms to the fingers and thumbs.
Each and every finger and thumb filled with radiant light.
The palms of the hands.
Backs of the hands.
All the way around and within the wrists.
Forearms.
Upper arm.
Deep into the space of the shoulder.
Around the back of the neck.
Backs of the ears.
All around the back of the head.
Crown of the head.
Forehead.
The space between the eyes.
The eyes themselves.
All around the eyes.
The cheekbones.
All the curves of the ears.
The jawbone.
The lips.
The space within the mouth.
Around the tongue and the teeth.
The roof of the mouth.
Into the headspace.
The space of the ears.
Down the throat.
All the way to the collarbones.
Into the chest.
Deeper into the chest.
Right to the heart centre.
The lungs.
Down the ribcage.
Filling the whole of the ribcage and all of the organs protected within.
Down to the space of the belly.
Through to the space of the lower back.
Into the space of the pelvis.
Down the legs and through to the soles of the feet.
Reaching every toe.
Heel.
The feet completely.
All around and within the ankles.
The calves of the legs.
The shins.
Around and within the knees.
Deep into the space of the spine.
Fronts of the thighs.
Backs of the thighs.
The buttocks.
The space of the hips.
Right back to the lower back.
Deep into the space of the spine.
All the way up the spine.
And all the way across the back.
Feeling the whole of the back body filled with a radiant light.
Feeling the whole of the front body filled with a radiant light.
The whole body is shining.
The whole body radiates light.
As you rest here in your light for a moment.
Feeling the light continuing to shine within you.
Letting the orb get smaller and smaller with each exhale.
Until you feel the orb right back to where it started.
And you know that all of the qualities that shine through are forever within you.
As you smile inwardly to this smaller version of yourself.
Becoming aware now once again of the breath as it comes through the nostrils.
The energy of the inhale.
The exhale flowing into the space around you.
With each inhale noticing the energy drawing into the body.
Coming through into the fingers.
Into the toes.
Through the back body.
The front body.
The whole body.
And as your exhale wanders out into the space around you.
Becoming more aware of that space.
As you start to maybe move in that space.
Moving the fingers.
Moving the toes.
Giving yourself a good stretch.
Before you go on about your day.
