Letting Go Of The Day

So beginning by gently closing over the eyes.

Bringing your awareness to the breath.

Taking a deep breath in.

And deep breath out.

Another deep inhale.

And on the exhale,

Letting go.

Allowing your breath to return to its natural rhythm.

And with each exhale feeling as if you could let go of the day gone by,

A little bit more with each out breath.

Breathing in.

And out.

Letting go.

Breath in.

And let go.

Sinking deeply into the breath here.

Using it as a way to be still.

Be present.

And gently release the day gone by.

And if the mind gets distracted at any point,

That's okay.

Gently noticing where the mind has gone to.

And then escorting it back.

Back to the breath.

Back to this moment of stillness.

And as you sit here,

Calling to mind something that you were grateful for today.

Might be a person or a memory or an event.

Holding it in your mind's eye for a few moments.

Giving thanks.

And on the next exhale,

Letting that go.

Turning your mind towards the day or the evening that lies ahead.

Perhaps setting an intention to be present for whatever it is that comes next.

Returning now to the breath.

Waves of breath flowing in.

Waves of breath flowing out.

Taking a final deep breath here.

Inhaling.

And exhaling.

Perhaps even sighing.

And bring your hands to your heart centre.

And say a deep thank you to yourself for taking this time.

And then gently bow the head.

Namaste.
