This practice is all about tapping into your inner glow.
Find a spot where you can rest for a while.
Maybe you want to sit up tall,
Or maybe you want to lean back,
Resting into a cushion or something behind you.
Peel in to the spot you've chosen and feel your body resting here.
All the parts of you that are touching down.
If you like,
You can close your eyes or let them be softly open.
And notice sounds around you.
Sounds coming and going.
Your ears simply open to hearing.
Maybe there are sounds in the distance,
Sounds close by.
Maybe you can hear the sound of your own breath.
Breath flowing in,
Breath flowing out,
All on its own.
And now,
Let's feel your inner glow.
Your inner glow is what it feels like in your body when you are comfortable and relaxed.
To feel your inner glow,
It's helpful to start with a picture from your memory or from your imagination.
So,
Is there a special place,
One that you can either imagine or remember,
That when you think of it,
You feel really good inside,
Happy and safe?
A place you feel comfortable and at ease?
It might be a special place outdoors or it might be a place that you spend time with the people you love.
Wherever it is,
Imagine that you are there right now,
Picturing yourself there in your imagination.
Notice what you see there,
What you hear,
Or even what you smell.
Let your whole body feel what it's like to be in that place right now.
Maybe it feels soft or warm,
Heavy or light.
It might feel tingly or still.
What feeling do you notice?
That feeling is your inner glow.
You can call it whatever you like and you can come back to this feeling anytime.
It's always here for you.
You might start to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Stretching your arms and legs,
Beginning to gently open your eyes if they've been closed,
Feeling yourself more awake and connected to your inner glow,
Closing this practice with a round of breath together,
Breathing in and breathing out.
