Transcript

Take a few moments to get comfortable.

Now start by taking several deep breaths.

Let your mind begin to rest and let go of thoughts for the day.

Notice the sounds around you.

Bring the roles you associate with yourself to mind.

You don't need to think of all the tasks or confrontations or projects to do with these roles.

Just simply bring them to mind and find in your body where you react to those roles.

Now shift your mind to locate your core self.

This is the self that makes up all of those other roles.

This is who you are underneath every role in your life.

This is you.

See if you can feel where your core self lives in your body.

Now,

Really breathe in deeply into that location.

Continue to breathe through that location for the next few minutes.

When you lose focus,

Just bring yourself back to the breath and your core self.

You may begin to feel a grounding in that core self,

Almost a sinking into that core self.

See if you can breathe deeper into that core self and activate it even more.

Once again releasing the happiness in your body.

Again.
