Welcome to this short rest practice,
A 61 point body rotation.
It is safe to rest now.
It's safe to allow yourself deep nourishment and rest.
Start with lying down on the floor.
Hands can be by your sides or anywhere you feel comfortable.
The feet are slightly apart.
The eyes are closed or partially closed.
I'm not trying to concentrate or control the mind.
Just giving yourself space now to be aware of your whole body.
Surrendering to the ground beneath you,
Surrendering to gravity,
Allowing yourself to be held by the ground.
And now bring your attention to the breath.
Just feeling a relaxed breath in and breath out.
Feeling each breath like a breeze of fresh air in and out of the body.
We're going to go on a journey into the body,
Touching on each part.
And when the body part is named,
See if you can be as present as you can to that body part.

Back to the eyebrow center,
Rest in stillness now.
Notice the sensations in the body.
Letting go completely,
Feel the breath moving in and out.
If it feels right,
Place the hands anywhere on the body that feels like it needs to be held tenderly today.
Now feel the whole body in this room,
Feeling the whole room around you.
Take a moment to thank yourself for taking this time.
This completes this short rest practice.
May you be rested and at ease.
