Transcript

Find a nice gentle place to sit,

Make yourself comfortable,

Well supported and connect now to your breath,

Bringing all your awareness,

All your focus to that gentle rhythm of your inhale and your exhale,

No controlling,

No forcing,

Just allow yourself to drop down into the body and just go with the flow of the breath,

Allowing all your thoughts to settle,

Allowing your body to land,

Just connecting with how that breath feels today and on your next exhale relax your shoulders and allow all your muscles to soften,

Take a nice breath in and exhale down and this time bring your awareness down into your knees,

If you are holding on to any tension,

Any tightness,

Just allow the energy of the knees to soften,

Taking another breath in and this time on the exhale allow it to go down further,

Allowing the breath to travel down into your ankles,

Feeling your ankles firmly on the ground,

Allowing all the muscles on your shins to soften,

Keep exhaling all the way down,

Take a natural inhale and extend that exhale down into the ankles,

All tightness,

All tension leaves the body with every exhale and then on the next inhale and exhale,

Allow the exhale to travel down further now,

Down into your toes,

Bring all your awareness down into your toes,

Starting from the little toe,

All the way to your big toe,

Just keep breathing in and out,

Bring all your awareness down into your toes and exhaling down into your soles of your feet,

Just breathe in and out of the soles of the feet,

Feeling them firmly planted on the ground beneath you,

Feeling secure,

Knowing that there are deep roots holding up the strength in your foundations,

Just bring all your awareness and focus with that breath extending down into the soles of your feet and then inhale now from the soles of the feet,

All the way up to the crown of your head and then exhale back down,

Relaxing all tension leaving the body,

Your body is feeling relaxed,

It's present,

Allow it to come down out of your feet again and now come back to your natural breath,

Bring your awareness back to the present moment and you may open your eyes,

Feeling grounded,

Feeling relaxed and focused.
