Transcript

Settling down into the surface beneath you and watching the body here and watching the breath and begin to deepen your breath.

As you breathe in allow the lungs to fill with air,

Hold for a moment and then exhale slowly through the mouth.

With the next breath in allow the belly to expand,

Lungs fill with air and exhale releasing.

And you can continue with this breath for as long as you need.

Bring your awareness to your feet,

Notice the weight of the feet resting on the floor.

Imagine them becoming warm and heavy and allow any tension to melt away.

Move the awareness to your ankles or your lower legs and feel this warmth and heaviness spreading up to the calves and shins the knees and the thighs.

Bring the awareness to the pelvis allowing the warmth and heaviness to fill this area.

Take a breath in and out.

Move the awareness up your spine and imagine a warm soothing sensation spreading up the back.

Awareness to the weight of the arms,

Heavy and warm.

And coming up to the shoulders and the neck,

Warm and relaxed.

Awareness to the face as this warmth continues up to the top of the head.

Imagine your mind now like a river.

Sometimes the waters flow gently when there is little rain and other times they rush swiftly.

Thoughts come and thoughts go.

The thoughts as the pace of the water changes with the weather.

Observe the speed of the water now that represent your thoughts.

And imagine you are sitting beside the water watching the flow.

Allow the seasons to pass.

Allow the weather to change.

Imagine your mind now like a mirror.

Observing.

Breath in and breath out.

Guiding your mind to your breath.

Breath in and breath out.

And beginning now to be aware of the whole of the body.

Feeling grateful for this experience and slowly opening the eyes.
