Transcript

Congratulations,

You've made it out of the house.

Here's a moment to acknowledge any challenges it took for you to get this far.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Now let that all go.

This is the beginning of your journey.

During this practice your little one may cry.

It's completely your choice whether you wish to stop or carry on listening.

Prepare yourself for this possibility.

You and your baby are safe.

Now notice your grip on the handlebar and release any unnecessary tension.

Loosen your thumbs,

Your four fingers,

Your middle fingers,

Ring fingers and your little fingers.

Feel your wrists,

Give them a little wriggle and twist.

Feel the elbow creases and elbows as they hold up your bent arms.

Now bring your attention to your posture and draw back your shoulders.

Take a deep breath in as you open up tall and strong.

Let out a sigh.

Now follow your spine down to your coccyx and begin to notice your hips as you step,

Step,

Step.

Kinetic energy moving down your thighs to your knees.

Notice any clothing or breeze hitting your legs and follow the pattern of that sensation for a moment.

Feel the sole of your foot as it lands on the ground and then flies in the air.

The presence on the walls of your feet and toes.

Feel how your shoes feel around your feet.

Can you feel the texture of the ground?

Notice any smells in the air and listen to the sounds.

Try not to label the sounds and let them come and go.

Look up at the sky and sense the huge amount of openness up above.

Take a deep breath.

Now look at something as you're walking,

For example a tree,

A flower,

Maybe a dog or a cat.

Now find something else and don't label it and see how truly remarkable that thing really is.

Take a deep breath.

You are here,

You are now.

Take this presence and wonderment into the rest of your day.
