Allow your eyes to comfortably close and down into your body's weight and volume to the movements your body makes as you breathe Breathe out,
Down the full length of your body allowing your body to release what it's brought with it here and no longer needs to carry Let it flow out and away Notice the contact your body is making with the surface directly beneath it Notice the surface is steady Notice the steadiness is there for you now Allow your breath to begin to slow and lengthen As you let that happen,
Breathe up from the steadiness Breathe the steadiness up into your body,
Up into your mind Let it steady you In your own time,
Become aware of the sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils Notice the air is cool as it enters,
Warm as it leaves Notice the expansion of the in-breath as your body opens to receive Notice the release of the out Notice how the out-breath is the body's natural relax Notice you're breathing in from the space around you and out into it As you do so,
Become aware of the touch of the air on your face and body Notice it asks nothing of you,
Demands nothing from you,
It just is And allow your attitude towards yourself to become kinder,
Warmer Let yourself know that it's completely okay to be exactly as you are right now In your own time,
Notice the dappled play of light and shade through your closed eyelids Right around your peripheral vision,
Let it be there,
Let everything be there The horizon spreading all the way around you,
Into the distant beyond Height of sky above you When you are ready,
