Good evening and welcome to step three in getting a better night's sleep.
Today we're going to start by envisioning the front and the back of our body.
We tend to sometimes lean into the front of our body.
And sometimes we tend to lean into the back of our body.
And when we can find that balance right there in the middle,
We find our spot in the present.
So tonight as we get started,
Please find a nice place where you can sit comfortably or lie comfortably.
And allow for yourself to be guided through your body to a place of peace and tranquility.
As we start out,
I'd like for everyone to take a nice slow inhale in and exhale out.
Allowing for yourself to begin to notice how your body feels.
When our eyes are closed,
We're more able to notice how we're feeling.
So as you take one more nice inhale in and exhale out.
I'd like you to start to bring your awareness to the front of your face.
The front of your eyes,
Your nose,
Your cheek,
Your chin,
And the sides of your face.
And as you take a nice inhale in and exhale out.
Allow for yourself to soften and notice what that area feels like.
As you bring your awareness to the front of your throat,
Your chest,
Your torso,
And slowly bringing your awareness down your arms.
We take a nice inhale in and exhale out.
Allowing for yourself to soften and just notice into the front of the body.
Bringing your awareness into your hips and your thigh area.
As you slowly become aware of how this area feels.
Taking a nice slow inhale in and a nice slow exhale out.
Bringing your awareness into the front of your thighs,
The front of your knees,
The front of your shins,
And all the way down to the tops of your feet.
And as you begin to notice from your face,
Chest,
Thighs,
Feet,
Bringing all your awareness into the front of your body.
You take a nice inhale in and exhale out.
Just noticing how that feels.
Next,
We bring our awareness to the back of our body.
We begin to notice what the back of our head feels like.
The back of our neck and our shoulders.
And slowly moving that awareness down the back of the left and the back of the right of the body.
Into our legs,
Down into our heels.
As you take a nice inhale in and exhale out.
Just noticing into the back of the body.
What does it feel like?
As you inhale in and exhale out.
Becoming aware of the back of the body.
Now,
We'd like to bring our awareness back to the front of the body by noticing what the front of the chest and the face feel like.
Taking a nice inhale in and exhaling out.
Just noticing into the front of the face and the chest area.
Next,
We bring our awareness to the back of the head.
As we take a nice inhale in and exhale out.
As we notice down into the tailbone area.
Gently becoming aware and just noticing how these areas feel.
As we take a nice inhale in and as we exhale out.
Gently and softly feeling into the body.
As you begin to notice what the front of the body feels like.
As well as the back of the body and what it feels like.
As you slowly inhale in and as you exhale out.
Gently and relaxing and feeling into the body.
As we slowly go into a deep night's sleep.
To see you next time.
