Welcome to this time of deep rest and nervous system regulation to support healing and inner peace.
Make your body as comfortable as you possibly can.
Gently placing your hands over your heart and noticing how you feel.
Welcoming yourself exactly as you are and softening around this whole moment just as it is.
Start to let your breath go a little deeper into your belly and wider into your chest.
Take a few really slow,
Generous breaths followed by a long audible sigh through the mouth.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Inhaling and exhaling.
Deep breath in.
Long breath out.
Deep breath out.
Notice where your breath feels constricted and breathe into these areas.
Your breath like a current of love.
Softening all the places that feel rigid or tight.
And allowing all that's not needed right now to fall away with every breath out.
As you continue to take these low,
Slow,
Soft,
Wide breaths.
Gently rub your hands together.
Feeling the energy and love that flows from your heart into your hands.
And then washing your face with this life force.
Sweeping your fingertips across your brow.
Your scalp.
Washing away all the stress and overthinking.
Gently massaging your temples.
Around your eyes.
Making this contact with yourself with loving kindness.
Massaging around your ears.
Inside your ears.
And around your nose.
Paying attention to all the places that feel tense.
Easing out your jaw.
Be guided by what feels nourishing,
Soothing and calming to your system.
Stroking the long muscles in your neck.
Gently squeeze your arms and shoulders.
Giving yourself a warm hug.
And whenever you're ready,
Settling into your final posture.
So that you can just lie here quietly now and do absolutely nothing.
Let your breath be natural.
Let the weight of your whole body sink into the support beneath.
Tongue resting in the mouth.
Jaw loosening.
Eyes resting right back.
Whole face softening.
Shoulders sinking down.
Nothing to do.
Nowhere to go.
Just being here is enough.
Surrendering to the warm,
Healing balm of just being.
Feel the presence of your whole body once more.
Whole body.
Soft.
And at ease.
Let your breath go a little deeper into your belly.
Enjoying a few more really slow,
Releasing breaths.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Inhaling.
And exhaling.
Deep breath in.
Long breath out.
Let your body move whenever it's ready.
Returning to your day.
Anchored in your ground of being.
