Hey there,

Welcome.

Find your seat,

Sit well,

Lay well on your bed,

On your yoga mat,

Wherever you are right at this moment and allow your eyelids to close if that feels comfortable for you to do so.

Drop into your natural breath,

Know that you don't have to remain completely still,

Follow the breath out and in,

In and out of your body,

Letting your breath be natural,

Easy to receive.

And now bring your attention to your whole entire head and face and simply receive your head and face as it is.

Notice your lips,

Your cheeks,

Your eyes,

Your nose,

Notice your jaws,

Your ears,

The inside of your head,

Your scalp,

Your hair,

Just resting your attention on your head and your face.

And then let your attention drop into your throat and your neck.

And let your focus of attention here be the sensations that are arising and that are alive right now in the throat and your neck.

And now move your attention to your whole right arm and all the fingers and the thumb on your right hand.

You simply feel the whole entire right arm,

Feel it just as it is.

It might get warm,

It might feel tingly.

And then move your attention to your whole left arm,

Left hand,

Left fingers,

Left thumb,

Feeling what is already here.

Let your attention move to your upper back and your chest,

Sensing and feeling the sensations in the upper back and the chest right at this moment.

Let your attention move down to your belly,

Your lower back,

Your head,

Your eyes,

Your nose,

Your ears,

Your eyes,

Your nose,

Your side waists.

It's floating your attention through the sensations in your belly,

Your lower back,

Your side waists.

Awareness moving down to your buttocks,

Your hips,

And then spilling down into your whole right leg,

Right foot,

And right toes.

Feeling what is here right at this moment in the right leg.

And then transferring your attention to your whole left leg,

Feeling into your left leg,

Left foot,

Left toes.

Noticing what is here.

And now expand your awareness to incorporate this whole entire physical body,

Just as it is.

Sense your breath breathing through the channels,

The corridors,

The pathways of this body.

In the yogic tradition,

There are 72,

000 nadis,

So imagine that this hologram is superimposed on the physical body.

And at this moment,

We're just breathing our way through.

When you feel ready,

Begin to deepen your breath.

And you might move your head a little side to side,

You might wriggle your fingers and your toes.

You might lift your lips.

And when you feel ready,

Allow your eyelids to softly open and receive this moment purely as it is.

Thank you so much.

Namaste.
