Welcome,
Friends.
Let's begin by sitting in a chair and feeling the feet on the ground,
Allowing the eyes to close.
Notice areas of obvious tension are holding in your body and breathe into those spaces,
Making room,
Allowing letting go of the holding.
Any amount the body is ready for,
Any amount is the perfect amount.
When you're ready,
Begin to focus on your breath,
Returning into your body,
Allowing the busyness of your day to float into the background,
Listening,
Hearing the sound of the breath,
Feeling your breath in the nose,
In the back of your throat,
All the directions your chest moves with the inhale and exhale.
Focus in on all the places that you can feel the breath in your body.
Some are subtle and some more obvious,
Noticing the gentle movement of the shoulders,
The arms and hands with every inhale and exhale.
Feeling the breath in the hips,
The breath creates a soothing rhythm in the entire body.
It's only felt when we are quiet and still.
See if you can feel your breath in the whole body.
If your mind wanders,
Just gently bring it back to the feeling and sound of your breath.
When you're ready,
Letting go of the attention to the breath,
Just allowing yourself to breathe naturally.
And again,
Noticing the areas of tension in the body,
Noticing if this has changed in the last few minutes,
If anything has softened,
And if you're able,
Soften a little bit more.
Take one full breath in through the nose,
And sigh it out your mouth.
May you be grounded in love throughout your day.
Namaste
