Lying down feel the bed or surface beneath you and take a deep breath in through your nose and a long slow breath out. Feel the heaviness in the back of your head, Your shoulders, Arms and hands. The whole length of your spine, Your legs and feet. Notice how gravity is taking hold as your body sinks down and is supported. Take another deep low breath in through your nose and a long slow breath out. Feel your body grow heavier and your mind beginning to settle.
