Transcript

Take a moment to lie on your front,

On your tummy,

Your chest,

Either on the bed or on the floor.

Support your forehead with your hands,

Either with your palms turned up or down,

Legs comfortably apart.

And firstly,

Just do nothing.

Just be here for a few moments for the body to settle,

To get comfortable.

And notice there may be moments of silence where it's intentional,

Simply allowing yourself to observe how the body is responding to silence and the support.

There's no special way how to breathe,

But simply noticing the movements in your chest,

In your tummy when you breathe in,

The movements,

Sensations in your chest and your tummy when you breathe out.

There's a natural rhythm which is the innate wisdom of the body.

The inhale naturally turns into an exhale and the exhale recycles and return to an in-breath.

The innate intelligence and wisdom which is in our ancestry DNA.

The breath as an energetic expression of this body.

As you're connected to this energetic experience of this body through your breath,

Just noticing the support surface beneath you,

The earth that is supporting beneath you,

The energetic expression of the earth,

The energy of the earth resonating,

Vibrating against your body and your body in exchange,

Breathing back.

The connectedness,

Groundedness,

Intimacy.

And simply just enjoy being in this process of exchange,

Trusting your body,

Trusting the breath,

And enjoying this dynamic movements of your breath within stillness.

Stillness that is always present,

The part of you that is witnessing these experiences,

The presence of your breath.

And take your time to be here for as long as this feels comfortable for you to stay.

And whenever you like to depart and move on into activities the rest of your day,

Simply deepen your breath.

Either push yourself away from the floor to come back into all fours and child's pose or seated.

You may also roll over to one side.

Thank you for listening.
