Transcript

Welcome to this moment.

Let's just arrive in stillness.

Make yourself comfortable,

Whatever that means to you.

Sitting down,

Laying down.

Just arrive and slowing down.

Tune in to the rise and fall of your chest.

It's natural rhythm.

Nothing you need to do to make that happen for yourself.

Just a gift,

The in and the out.

Feel the expansion of your lungs,

The muscles that wrap around.

Expanding,

Contracting.

In and out.

On your next inhale,

Drink just a little more deeply of all that is offered here.

And release.

Again,

A deep breath in and releasing.

Tune in to your body.

Tune in to your legs.

Notice if there's any tension.

And just soften.

Relax.

Let whatever is supporting your body carry that weight.

Let it go.

Tune in to your back,

The muscles that carry you all day.

And soften.

Let it go.

Mindful of your breath.

Deep breath in and releasing.

Tune in to your shoulders.

Relax your shoulders.

Away from your ears,

Just relaxed.

And your arms,

Your hands that do so much for you all day,

Every day.

Relaxed.

And your face.

The muscles around your eyes,

Your cheeks,

Your upper lip.

Just loose and relaxed,

Softening.

Feeling the cold air that you breathe in and the warmer air you breathe out.

Natural.

Easy.

Always available.

This space,

This stillness.

Always available.

Simply a choice to slow down.

Tune in to the what is here.

To the what is offered.

Just pay attention to your breath for five more in and out cycles.

Allowing the what is.

And with your very next inhale,

Draw as deeply as you're able and hold that breath in for a count of one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

And release.

In this moment,

Offer love to yourself for having chosen you.

For having chosen this moment,

This gift of arriving here and allowing the what is.

One more deep breath in and releasing.

May your day be blessed,

Friend.

Namaste.
