Allowing your eyes to comfortably close now and begin to notice the parts of the body that are touching the surface beneath you.
Notice the connection between your body and the earth.
Breath in and breath out.
Taking deep conscious breaths and as you inhale allow the belly to expand wide like a big balloon.
And as you exhale release,
Relax and let go.
Continue to breathe deeply for as long as you need to settle the mind and the body.
Allow your body to rest further down deeply toward the earth.
Feeling held and supported and notice the sensation of the earth rising up,
Meeting you.
So the earth meets your relaxing and that downward energy you're feeling,
The earth gently gives you a lift.
Holding and supporting you.
Becoming aware of your toes and allow them to let go completely.
And bring the awareness to the left foot,
The ankle,
The shin and the calf.
Relaxing the whole of the lower leg,
The left knee,
The left thigh.
The whole of the upper leg and the pelvis.
Become aware of the right foot.
Relaxing the foot,
The ankle,
The calf and the shin.
The whole of the lower leg,
Softening,
Muscles,
Releasing.
Relaxing the knee of the right foot,
The upper leg and the right pelvis,
Hips and buttocks.
Relaxing all 360 degrees of the hips.
Relaxing the whole of the left foot,
The ankle,
The shin and the calf.
Bringing the awareness to the stomach,
The belly rising and falling.
Belly rising and falling.
Awareness to the lower back,
The kidneys and all the internal organs.
Awareness to the front of the body,
The chest.
And notice if you can feel your own heart beating.
Awareness up to the right shoulder and the left shoulder.
Relaxing the upper arm of the left side of the body.
Relaxing the left elbow,
Lower arm,
Palm of the left hand,
Back of the left hand and all the way down to the fingers.
The whole of the left arm heavy.
Awareness back up the left arm and across to the right shoulder,
To the right upper arm,
Relaxing the muscles.
Right elbow,
Lower arm,
Wrist,
The palm of the right hand,
The back of the right hand and all the way down to the fingers.
Whole of the right arm heavy and relax.
Awareness back up the right arm,
To the throat,
To the back of the head,
The left ear and the right ear.
Awareness to the top of the head,
To the tongue,
The upper lip,
The lower lip,
The tip of the nose,
Center of the forehead,
The space behind the eyes.
Awareness of any sensations along the underside of the top of the head.
Awareness to the crown of the head and feeling a sense of open spaciousness at the very top.
All the head.
Awareness to the whole of the body.
Breath in and breath out.
Breath in and breath out.
Giving yourself permission to rest and focus on the breath.
Many people can go days without thinking of their breath.
Yet it is the very thing that is keeping us alive.
The breath never ask questions and it never judges.
With each breath,
Feel a wave of relaxation sweeping over you.
As you breathe in,
Feel the entire body filling with fresh oxygen.
Take a note of how you feel in this moment.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Awareness to my words.
Notice there are pauses between my words.
Notice the gap,
The pause between each word I speak.
Aware of my words.
Aware of my voice.
Aware of the space between each word.
Awareness to the mind and allow thoughts to pass by.
Like clouds in a summer sky.
Awareness to the sense of peace and sense of stillness within.
In life,
It's important to be kind and compassionate to yourself.
If you wish,
Repeat silently after me.
I am learning to love myself unconditionally.
I am choosing to love myself unconditionally.
I am learning to love and accept myself just as I am.
I am learning to love and accept myself just as I am.
Allow these positive statements,
These affirmations,
To resonate into your whole being.
May you be happy.
May you feel safe.
And may you experience peace.
May you be happy.
May you feel safe.
And may you experience peace.
