The practice begins by bringing the attention to the body, feeling its weight wherever you're situated. Take a few deep breaths and let the oxygen enliven the body, and as you exhale notice the weightless relaxation that comes out. This practice is ideal for any time you want a quick reset before going back to the rest of your day.

Transcript

Begin by bringing your attention into your body.

You can close your eyes if that's comfortable to you.

You can notice your body seated wherever you're seated,

Feeling the weight of your body on the chair,

On the floor.

You can take a few deep breaths.

And as you take a deep breath,

Bring in more oxygen,

Enlivening the body.

And as you exhale,

Have a sense of relaxing more deeply.

You can notice your feet on the floor.

Notice the sensations of your feet touching the floor,

The weight and pressure,

Vibration,

Heat.

You can notice your legs against the chair.

Pressure,

Pulsing,

Heaviness,

Lightness.

Notice your back against the chair.

Bring your attention into your stomach area.

If your stomach is tense or tight,

Let it soften.

Take a breath.

Notice your hands or your hands tense or tight.

See if you can allow them to soften.

Notice your arms.

Feel any sensations in your arms.

Let your shoulders be soft.

Notice your neck and throat.

Let them be soft,

Relax.

Soften your jaw.

Let your face and facial muscles be soft.

And notice your whole body present.

Take one more breath.

Be aware of your whole body as best you can.

Take a breath.

And then when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.
