Greetings and welcome to this pause in your day.
This little pause is intended to help you just come back home to yourself,
To decompress,
Letting go of any stress,
Quieting the mind,
Calming the emotions,
And relaxing the body.
This little pause will just help you come back into alignment with your own center,
Your own deep state of presence,
And your own power and ability to be here now despite whatever you might be experiencing today.
So notice your posture and check in.
Ask yourself if you're comfortable.
And just by doing so,
You'll often become aware of some places that are a little bit tense.
Maybe you shifted in your seat or adjusted your arms or legs or hands.
And then check in with your breath.
And I just want to remind you that it's okay for you to fully receive this pause today.
It's okay for you to give yourself this attention right now.
It's okay for you to cultivate health and well-being and good vibes on the inside.
So feel yourself fully arriving right here,
Right now in this moment.
Letting your breath shift slightly,
Slowing down the pace and rhythm of your inhales and exhales.
As your breath slows down,
Begin to feel how you might take up a little bit more space.
And that may come by way of just breathing more fully.
And that can also come as you let your jaw drop slightly,
As your shoulders release away from your ears.
As you let go of tension in your throat,
Letting go of any constriction around your heart.
Taking up a bit more space here as you let your breath circulate through your belly.
Feeling the belly expanding outward as you inhale and feeling the belly just relax and soften as you exhale.
You deserve this time for yourself.
It's time to pause and decompress.
And notice your legs and as your legs,
Maybe your hips,
And even your feet as they relax a little bit,
As they grow heavier,
Do you feel how that allows you to open and take up more space?
Letting your body spread out a little bit,
Letting your energy spread out a little bit more.
And then just breathing,
Breathing slowly.
Breathing evenly.
Allowing the breath to work its magic on you,
Helping you remember the place inside of you that feels like home,
That feels safe,
That feels relaxing.
Let the breath help you find and feel the place inside that is a bit like a sanctuary just for you.
And notice now how you are,
How you're feeling.
Notice how your body's doing and even how the energy surrounding your body,
How it feels.
This is your presence and this is what you will be bringing with you back out into whatever is next on your agenda today.
Take three more slow breaths here,
Breathing in through the nose.
And if it feels right,
Just open your mouth and slowly,
Gently exhale.
No rush to the breath,
No strain,
Breathing in through the nose.
Easy,
Relaxed exhalation through the mouth.
And do that one more time,
Inhaling and exhaling.
If it resonates with you to gather your palms together in front of your chest,
This is a mudra called Anjali Mudra,
Symbolizing the sense of balance,
The sense of bringing together the yin and yang aspects of ourselves.
So you can choose this mudra if you'd like or maybe just rest your hands over your heart center and take a moment to express a little gratitude to yourself for taking this time today,
To decompress,
To recalibrate,
To establish yourself within your own inner sanctuary so that you can be a better person out in the world.
Take one last breath here,
Breathing in through the nose,
Sighing out.
Have a beautiful rest of your day.
Namaste.
Namaste.
