Just Lay Down, A Moment Of Pause.

A guided pause in your day by laying down on the floor not as Savasana but as a reset for your body and mind. Re-align your spine, soften your focus and breathe. Then you can continue your day with a slightly different mindset.

Just lie down. Yeah, I'm going to have you do something quite different today and a different way to reset, To refocus or to pause your day. So it's not a comfy shavasana, It's a reset. And so, Yeah, Literally just lie down right where you are. Maybe it's on your kitchen floor, Playroom floor, If you have an office on the floor there. Anytime your mind is so full and the pressure on you feels, You know, Really large today, This is going to sort of ease some of that. Now always trust and respect what your body has to say first and adapt what I'm offering. Otherwise just lie down right where you are and take a big inhale as you let your body sink into the floor, The ground beneath you. And for a moment just kind of wiggle your shoulders, Turn your palms up and your palms down, Finding a semi-comfortable position with this hard floor beneath you. Maybe turn your feet in and out and wiggle through your center, Through your hips, So you feel as most aligned as you can. Take another big breath in and breath out and each exhale let yourself just sink a little heavier into the floor, A little more into the support. And slightly tuck your chin in and let your head gently roll from side to side, Jaw soft, Tongue loose, Resting on the back of your whole head. Now sink a little more into the floor, Keeping your head very still where you've laid it now and just let your eyes look over towards the right without moving your head, You're just gazing over there. And then gaze back up at the ceiling and then take your gaze as if you're looking down your body, Again without moving your head. Come back up to look at the ceiling and then drop your gaze, Your eyes over to your left and then back up to center. We're going to do that one more time. Everything is still, You're breathing, Probably slightly uncomfortable perhaps, All is okay. Inhale and exhale, Let your body, Your shoulders, Your hips, Your heels sink a little more into the floor. Move your eyes over to the right for a little gaze, Back up to the ceiling as if you're looking down the body, Back up to the ceiling without moving your head remember, And then drop your eyes over to the left, Then back up to the ceiling. Now slowly close your eyes and focus on your inhale and your exhale. With each breath, Release into the support of the floor. Can your fingers soften, Can your toes soften, Your fingers soften, Your jaw soften. Continue with your inhale and your exhale, Maybe deepening this slightly if that's ready for you, Available to you, With the inhale through the nose and then the exhale through the mouth, Like sighing it out. A couple more times, Inhale through the nose, Exhale through the mouth. Beautiful, Again begin to roll your head gently side to side, Start to wiggle your fingers a little bit, Wiggle your toes, Perhaps begin to find a nice big stretch to help you bring you back. Bend your knees towards your belly as you roll over to one side, Pause there and then use your upper arm to help bring you all the way back up to seated. Pause a moment, Placing your hands over your heart, Check in with your body, Check in with your mind and then take your time to come back up to standing and continue with your day from this place.
