Let's begin laying on your back, Checking in with your breath. You may place one hand on your belly and the other on your chest and just feel the rising and falling of your body paired with your breath. Become soft, Become heavy. Just noticing the quality of your inhales and your exhales. If it would help you arrive, Go ahead and sigh out your breaths, Making sure that there aren't any blockages along the line of your chakras. Feel free to sigh, To moan, To hum, Just to get your throat chakra nice and ready and soft.
