Welcome.
In this practice,
You will be guided into deep relaxation and nerve system restoration.
This is a space to slow down,
To release tension and to allow your body to settle naturally.
You don't need any experience for this practice.
Simply allow yourself to follow the guidance at your own pace.
Before we begin,
Please make sure you're in a safe and comfortable place where you will not be driving or operating anything.
If you're ready,
Gently allow your eyes to close.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythm without changing anything yet.
Allow your inhale to arrive on its own and your exhale to soften.
There is nothing to control,
Nothing to force.
Just observing,
Just allowing.
Now begin to bring awareness into your body.
Notice the points of contact where your body meets the surface beneath you.
Allow your waist to be supported.
You don't need to hold yourself in right upright now.
Gently bring awareness to your shoulders and allow them to soften.
Bring awareness to your jaw and let it release.
Your forehead softening,
Your hands,
Your legs,
Your entire body beginning to settle.
Now very gently begin to slightly deepen your breath.
Not forcing,
Just allowing a little more space either in the inhale and a longer,
Softer exhale.
With each exhale,
Allow your body to drop deeper,
Releasing tension without effort.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm and simply rest here.
If doubts arise,
That's okay.
You don't need to follow them.
Just return to the feeling of your body.
Return to the breath.
Nothing to fix,
Nothing to figure out,
Just resting.
Allow your body to feel heavy and if at any point your attention drifts,
Gently bring it back without judgment.
This is your time to simply be.
Notice now the space around your body,
Quiet,
The stillness.
Allow yourself to rest even more deeply.
With each breath,
A little more softness,
A little more release.
You don't need to do anything more.
Now slowly begin to bring awareness back to your breath.
Notice the gentle movement of the inhale and the exhale.
Begin to feel your body again.
Gently deepen your breath just slightly.
Maybe bring small movement to your fingers or your toes.
Take one more slow,
Steady breath in and exhale gently.
And when you're ready,
Allow your eyes to open.
Take a moment here to notice how you feel.
Thank you for taking this time to rest and reset.
You can return to this practice wherever you need a space to slow down and restore.
