Namaste.
Please make yourself comfortable.
In a position that will help you to stay alert,
But also allow you to relax into your body.
As you continue to breathe in,
I'd like to invite you to use your imagination and visualize breathing in a soft,
Gentle,
Healing energy.
And as you exhale,
Imagine your entire being glowing and radiating peaceful energy.
Namaste.
Allow your entire body to soften and relax.
Starting with consciously relaxing your face,
Jaw,
Neck,
Chest,
Belly.
Torso.
Pelvic area.
All the way down to your toes.
And as you embrace the stillness,
Add a soft smile to your face and know that your body is supported by the earth.
As you continue to settle into your body and allow your awareness to remain on your breath for as long as you can comfortably remain so.
Namaste.
Immerse yourself in the intricacies of your breath.
You can do this by bringing your awareness to your breath as it enters and leaves your nostrils.
You can watch the full breath in its totality,
Perhaps giving the breath a color and then just watching that flow of movement.
Namaste.
At any point in time that you find suddenly.
That your mind wandered.
And you notice that your mind wandered.
Applaud yourself.
You notice.
There's no need for criticism or judgment,
But rather appreciate the moment that allowed you to notice the wandering mind.
To bring that awareness back to your breath.
You can use words to direct your attention to the experience,
Keeping the focus on the words to a minimum.
Being keenly aware of the experience that evokes as you breathe in,
You can whisper softly in your mind in.
As you breathe out,
You can whisper softly in your mind out.
You can explore the rising and falling of your chest or belly.
And whisper softly in your mind.
Rising.
Falling.
Falling.
Remember that you can use a myriad of techniques to stay grounded and enjoy being in the present moment.
Namaste.
