Transcript

Find a comfortable place to lay down,

With your feet apart,

The palms of your hands facing up.

Close your eyes,

Get any little wiggles out,

And take a long,

Deep breath.

And as you breathe out,

Feel yourself letting go.

Become aware of outside sounds,

Just allow any little noises to come through,

And gradually come back to the room.

Develop your awareness of your room,

Yourself laying down.

Become aware of yourself just relaxing,

Become aware of your breathing.

You don't have to do anything,

Just be conscious that you are breathing.

And now we're going to move into what's called the rotation of consciousness.

So it's bringing awareness to different parts of the body,

And there's nothing you need to do,

There's nothing you need to think about,

Just follow the sound of my voice,

And bring your attention to that body part.

Whole of the front together,

And the whole body together.

Become aware of the meeting parts between your body and where you're laying,

Whether that's on the floor,

In a bed,

On a couch,

Wherever you are.

Feel the meeting points between your body and that surface.

Bring your attention to the soles of the feet.

Feel the skin on the soles of your feet.

From the heels to the tips of your toes.

Go to the palms of your hands.

Feel the skin on the palms of your hands and your fingers.

Become aware of the lines on your palms and your fingers.

Become aware of the skin on your face,

On your forehead,

Your cheeks,

And your chin.

Bring your attention to your eyelids and feel the meeting points where your eyelids come together.

Now your lips.

Feel the meeting points between your lips.

Now bring your awareness to your natural breath.

Just become aware that you're breathing quietly and slowly.

Feel the breath.

Just become aware that you're breathing quietly and slowly.

There's nothing else to do.

Just feeling the breath move from your navel,

Your throat,

Maybe in and out of your nose,

In and out of your mouth.

Just feel the air moving in and out of your body.

And you can take a few deep breaths here.

Bringing your awareness back to your body,

Back to the room.

Wiggle your fingers,

Wiggle your toes.

And when you're ready,

Feel free to roll over onto one side and then slowly sit up.
