Sit comfortably,
We'll start with three calming breaths.
Inhale through the nose,
A little more,
Hold,
And sigh it out to mouth,
Again,
Inhale through the nose,
A little more,
Hold,
And sigh it out to mouth,
One more time,
Inhale through the nose,
And sigh it out to mouth.
Now let your breathing be natural,
Slowly look around the room,
Not searching,
Just noticing,
Name five things you can see,
Take your time,
Now notice four sounds you can hear,
Near or far,
Even silence counts.
Now notice three things you can feel,
Feet on the ground,
The seat beneath you,
Your hands,
Now bring your attention to the body,
Relax the forehead,
If you feel comfortable you can close your eyes,
Or look at one point in front of you,
Soften the muscles around the eyes,
Soften the temples,
Unclench the jaw,
Let the throat soften,
Let the shoulders drop,
Relax the shoulders,
Soften the chest,
Now surrender the belly,
Let go of the belly,
Let the hips become heavy,
The legs heavy,
And notice the feet on the ground,
Notice the contact between the soles and your feet,
Notice the whole weight of the whole body,
Being supported,
Now bring your awareness to the breath again,
Just noticing,
Natural breathing,
And now we slow it down,
We inhale for four,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And we exhale out for six,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Inhale four,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And exhale for six,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
And exhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Continue at your own pace,
Soft inhale for four,
And a long relaxing exhale for six,
Letting go,
Surrendering,
Now say this softly in your mind,
I'm safe enough,
I'm okay,
This will pass,
And when you're ready,
Continue your day,
Gently open your eyes.
