Finding yourself,
Your position of comfort and ease,
Allowing yourself to settle down into the surface beneath you.
Take a deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
Deep breath in,
Long slow breath out and once more in and out.
Bring into mind a safe place where you feel comfortable and see the details of this place,
The colours,
The light.
Notice what you can see around you and noticing any sounds.
It might be gentle rain,
The sound of voices,
Soft music or silence and imagine beside you there's a comforting blanket.
It's the perfect thickness for you and place that blanket over your body,
Wrapping yourself in this loving embrace and placing your hand at your heart centre in the centre of the chest and take a breath in and a breath out.
Breath in and breath out and silently repeat may I be gentle with myself.
May I be gentle with myself.
May my heart be filled with compassion.
May my heart be filled with compassion.
May I find peace in my heart and may I find healing through my tears.
And may I be kind to myself as I navigate this loss.
Allowing these affirmations to be felt in the body.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Bringing the awareness to your feet,
Feeling the surface beneath your feet,
Grounding and supporting you.
As you relax your feet and your ankles,
The lower legs,
Knees,
Upper legs,
Ankles,
Upper legs,
Hips,
The torso.
Shoulders.
Allow your arms to feel heavy and your hands to relax.
Scanning back up the arms to the neck.
Take a breath in and away.
As you relax the jaw and any muscles holding tension around the eyes letting go.
Softening the forehead,
The sides,
Back and top of the head.
Whole body relaxing.
Awareness now to this moment,
To the room you're in,
To your breath,
To your body.
Deepening the breath and inviting movement into the fingers,
Into the toes and slowly opening the eye.
