Softening The Edges

Take a moment to unwind.

To soften the edges.

You can do this practice either seated down,

Lying down or standing wherever you are.

Bring your awareness to your body.

What can you feel?

What's standing out right now?

Notice any tension in your body.

Around the jaw.

The shoulders.

The belly.

Breathe into it.

Into any tight edges.

And as you breathe into any tension,

Feel the breath massage it ever so gently.

To push and then yield with the out-breath.

Allowing the edges to soften.

Can you anywhere right now?

Feel the body unfurl.

Feel any hardness,

Loosening.

Even just a little.

You don't need to force it.

Forcing creates tension.

Being mindful,

Bringing your attention to tension,

Allows it to leave in its own time.

A gentle breath.

A tiny release.

Again and again.

Each breath,

Smoothing out the roughness.

Until you are softer,

Lighter,

And more at ease.

And now move the body.

And if your eyes were closed,

Allow them to open.

Have a wonderful day.
