Transcript

Welcome to this quick reset.

I invite you to find a comfortable place where your body feels grounded and supported and when you feel comfortable allowing your eyes to close softly and beginning with three long,

Slow,

Deep breaths.

Allowing your breath now to fall back into its natural depth and rhythm,

Not trying to force it or control it in any way,

Simply allowing it to breathe itself.

As you rest in this natural easy breath,

I just invite you to check in with your body as we complete this quick reset.

Beginning with your feet,

Noticing as they contact with the floor below you,

A weighty heaviness,

Where they make contact,

Bringing your awareness up from the feet through the legs.

Noticing those points of contact where your legs rest against the chair,

Or the floor,

The bed or the couch.

Simply noticing those touch points between your body and the surface beneath you,

Extending your awareness up through the thighs and the buttocks.

Noticing the sensations in your body wherever you are coming to rest on the surface beneath you,

Allowing your attention to rise up through the body,

Into the chest.

Noticing the lightness in the chest,

The rise and fall of each breath,

Bringing your awareness up through the shoulders.

Noticing any tension or tightness you might be holding in the shoulders,

And just simply allowing it to cascade down your arms as we let your awareness just simply roll over your shoulders like water running down your arms and into your hands,

Allowing your awareness to continue.

Back up your arms through the chest,

With the inhalation up through the neck,

Over the back of the head,

Coming to rest in the space in front of the closed eyes.

This quick scan of your body,

Just reconnecting you with what it feels like in your body right now.

Noticing the rise and fall of the breath,

Noticing the lightness that comes through your body with each inhalation,

Allowing any tension or tightness to simply fall away with the next exhalation.

Breathing in calm cooling air,

Breathing out any tension or tightness,

Stress or worry.

Breathing in calm cooling air,

Breathing out any tension,

Tightness,

Stress or worry.

As we come to the end of this short practice,

A quick reset for your body and mind.

I invite you to bring movement into the body by wiggling your fingers and toes,

And whenever you feel ready,

Allowing your eyes to open slowly.
