Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out Let your body soften into the space beneath you There's nothing you need to do right now Nothing to achieve,
Simply arrive Notice the rhythm of your breaths,
Flowing in and flowing out With every inhale,
Invite in calm And with every exhale,
Release any tension Now,
Bring your attention to the crown of your head Imagine a gentle wave of relaxation moving downward,
Softening your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your jaw Feel your shoulders melt,
Your chest open,
And your arms grow heavy with ease Your breaths guide you deeper Inhale peace,
Exhale release Bring awareness to your heart space Imagine a soft,
Warm light glowing here With every breath,
The light expands Filling your body with comfort,
Safety,
And quiet joy If your mind wanders,
That's ok,
Simply return to your breath Inhale calm,
Exhale ease Rest here for a few moments,
Held by your breath,
Supported by this gentle light And when you're ready,
Begin to bring awareness back to your body Notice the ground beneath you,
The space around you Take a deep breath in and a longer breath out Now you can gently wiggle your fingers and toes And when you feel ready,
Softly open your eyes Carry this calm with you into the rest of your day
