Transcript

Welcome to your session.

Let's begin with three grounding breaths.

Drawing that first slow sip of air in through the nose.

And slowly out through the mouth.

Another slow inhale,

A little deeper than the last.

And slowly exhaling.

One more in,

Raising your shoulders to your ears.

And releasing with a sigh.

Feeling the bottom of that breath.

Resting here for a moment.

Feeling your breath become a little more expansive.

Watching it settle into your natural pace.

Observing the breath enter through the nose.

Noticing the sensation.

Following that breath into your lungs and back out again.

At this time I invite you to bring your awareness to your brow.

Feeling any sensation here.

Relaxing the space and allowing it to feel heavy.

Traveling down to your jaw.

Relaxing and creating space here by resting your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

Checking in with your shoulders.

Relaxing your hands.

Unknotting your torso.

Allowing it to expand fully as you breathe.

Releasing that nearly undetectable tension in your thighs,

Calves,

And feet.

Fully surrendering to the moment as it is and as you are.

Releasing all judgment of the self,

Your surroundings,

And your experiences.

Allowing yourself to rest in present moment awareness.

Being present in the body by following your breath and being present in the mind with the quality of your wellness.

Noticing how all perceived stressors fade away as we focus on the here and now.

And realizing that you can tap into the stillness at any moment to release what feels heavy.

You are enough as you are and life is enough as it is.

Taking another slow sip of air in through the nose.

And slowly exhaling through the mouth.

Bringing that awareness back to your breath.

Continue following that flow and I'll watch the clock.

Face your daily life right now.

Draw rising natural Away something that matters much more.

One more time in and out.

Feeling the bottom of that breath.

Before you open your eyes,

I invite you to reawaken the body by wiggling your toes and fingers,

Following any movement that feels good.

And gently opening your eyes when you feel ready.

Give yourself a few quiet moments before re-engaging with activity.

And thank you for giving yourself this time for relaxation today.
