Come to find yourself in a comfortable position,
Either seated or standing,
Feeling the strength of your body supporting you and bringing your awareness to the breath,
Just beginning to slow the breath,
Breathing in through your nose,
Breathing out through your nose.
Start to gaze around with your eyes and see if you can soften the gaze,
Releasing any tension around and behind the eyes,
Just scanning,
Taking note of your surroundings.
See the colors clearly,
Notice things that are completely still around you,
Like the ground,
Furniture,
Structures,
And you become aware of anything around you that has movement,
Looking around without putting labels on things you see,
Just observe their colors,
Textures,
Patterns,
Notice how far away things are from you or how close they are to you,
See how the light lays upon things,
Illuminating them or creating shadows,
Allow your mind to naturally find a spot in front of you to fixate on,
Begin to slowly blink your eyes without looking away from that spot,
Feel the relaxation within the darkness each time you blink,
Repeat this until your eyes want to naturally close.
When you close your eyes,
Notice a gentle wave of relaxation sweep over your entire body,
Bring your awareness to your breath,
Pay close attention to how your lungs expand and contract with each breath cycle,
This is a very natural and gentle sensation,
Notice how your belly also expands and contracts easily as you breathe,
Allow the breath to relax you as you breathe in and out,
As you expand and contract,
As you refresh and relax,
As you inhale and exhale,
Bring your awareness back to the space around you,
Noticing any sounds in the room or in the distance,
Noticing any aromas or scents in your space,
Just bringing some gentle movement to your fingers and toes and whenever you are ready,
You can softly open your eyes.
