Transcript

So pausing and taking a moment and settling in,

Taking a steady long breath in through the nose and gently exhale,

Feeling the support of the seat beneath you.

Now when you feel ready,

Gently closing your eyes.

And taking a moment,

Imagine yourself being and feeling calm,

Feeling peaceful and focused.

Allowing your mind to naturally form an image of what that would feel like in your body today.

Consider what you might be seeing,

Hearing and what you might be sensing and feeling that shows you that you are more calm,

Peaceful and focused.

Perhaps you are already feeling more calm,

Peaceful and focused.

If you are not,

Notice that your unconscious mind can show you just how you might do this.

Perhaps you can identify a simple way to bring this feeling of calm into your life in the moments,

Days and weeks ahead.

Notice that you already know how and that really it is possible to create a little more peace,

Calm and focus in your life.

Now returning to your breath and taking in a steady full inhale and a long gentle exhale,

Breathing in and breathing out.

As you gently begin to move your attention back into the room,

Listening to the sounds around you,

Envisioning the room around you,

Taking one more full breath in and a long steady exhale,

Breathing in and breathing out.

And gently,

When you feel ready,

Beginning to open your eyes,

Taking this feeling of calm,

Peace and focus with you back into your day.
