Hello,
My name is Erica.
Welcome to this short rest practice.
Find yourself in the most comfortable way you can be,
Whether that is sitting in your favorite chair or lying down on your couch or bed.
And take a moment to fully surrender to the here and now.
We can pause everything around us and simply be.
Allow your awareness to fall upon your breath.
Breathe into your head and feel it sink back and down,
Giving in to gravity.
Let the breath pool into your eyes,
Nose,
And then softening your throat as you exhale.
Can you take a breath into the back of your neck,
Where the skull and the top of your spine meet?
And then exhale into this place,
Releasing tension out of the neck and shoulders.
Breathing into your upper torso,
Feel the length of your arms and soften into the bones and hands.
Take a breath into your heart now.
You could welcome a sense of warmth or light as you inhale and exhale out of your heart,
Releasing all of your chest and upper body.
And breathe into your belly here.
Notice its rise and fall.
And welcome a sense of ease through your lower back and pelvis.
Feel into the weight of your legs,
Allowing them to be soft and heavy all the way down to the tips of your toes.
And now,
Breathe into your entire body,
Breathing in a sense of peace and relaxation through your entire body.
Ease and openness through every cell of your being.
Every exhalation serves to release anything you are holding on to.
I will now repeat some affirmations.
You can choose to repeat them mentally or just simply allow my words to land in your being.
I am open and flow ease.
I trust the universe has my best interests at heart.
I release any resistance.
It is safe to let go.
I release any resistance.
It is safe to let go.
I am resilient.
I know I can handle any change that comes my way.
I am resilient.
I know I can handle any change that comes my way.
And now be with yourself for just a few moments.
As this practice draws to a close,
Allow your mind to be open and still,
Curious for all that lies ahead of you today.
Draw your sense of awareness back to your heart.
And let's take one more big breath in,
Bathing your heart space in that beautiful glow of color or light that you invite in.
And as you exhale,
Let that radiate out from your being.
My wish for you is that you trust that all you need is within you.
May you be resilient and welcome change with a sense of ease and curiosity.
May you manifest all that is in your heart so your dreams come true.
May you know that you are always connected and supported.
Thank you for practicing with me.
My name is Erica and my infinite love is with you always.
