Welcome to this affirmation meditation.
Begin by finding a comfortable seat or you might choose to lie down and start to notice the rising and the falling of the breath with the eyes closed.
Draw awareness to those points of contacts that you have with the floor or a cushion or a bed and notice the strength that is holding you as you surrender in this space,
Breathing on your own time.
Now draw one hand to your belly and one hand to your chest just over your heart and on your next inhale draw it into the belly naturally filling it up which will naturally lift the hand and for a slow count of four exhale all of it out.
We'll do this two more times inhaling into the belly which lifts the hand for a count of four and slowly releasing the breath for a count of four and last time drawing the inhale down into the belly for a count of four and gradually release the breath on the exhale for four.
Now release the hands comfortably by your side breathing at a pace that feels right for you and for the next few rounds of breath notice if you can just create a little more space between the vertebrae on your inhales.
Gently with each inhale noticing where you might lift noticing what needs some space and some love and these vertebrae extend all the way up the spine up the neck and to the base of the skull so as you take some of these inhales on your own time allowing for the space between the vertebrae you might notice that your chin dips a little to create that space.
Now for the next few breaths notice the spaciousness across your back notice how wide you feel how much space you can take up from the left shoulder to the right.
On the next couple rounds of breath notice the spaciousness that you feel across your chest as you take up space and on your next inhale draw the focus to the base of your spine to the root chakra.
