Allow your body to settle into stillness.
This is a practice of rest beneath rest,
Where healing occurs quietly and without effort.
Bring your awareness to your body and how you're breathing.
And take a slow breath in,
In through your nose if you'd like.
And a long,
Unhurried exhale.
Exhale through your mouth if you'd like.
We're mostly observing the breath here instead of forcing it,
So just let the breath find its own rhythm and really see if you can deepen your experience,
Come more fully into the experience of your body breathing.
Bring your awareness gently into the body.
Not directing,
Not forcing,
Not analyzing.
Imagine that healing energy is already present within you and all around you.
This healing energy is not something you summon.
It's something that exists.
It's something you allow.
And without forcing the breath,
Just start to receive with each inhale.
As you take in the breath,
Take in the healing energy that's present all around you.
No need to visualize or guide.
As you exhale,
Let that be a release,
Known and unknown.
Breathing in,
Allowing the body,
Physical and energetic,
To receive this healing energy.
Breathing out,
Releasing whatever's ready to be released.
And if you notice areas of tiredness or heaviness,
Meet them with softness rather than focus.
And allow the nervous system to recognize that it is safe to settle.
The body knows how to heal itself.
The body knows how to rest and receive when it's not being asked to perform.
So we're just going to remain here for a little bit more time,
Breathing and receiving and allowing.
And imagining and receiving on the inhale the healing energy that is ever present.
Connect with it and receive it.
And as you exhale,
Just allowing whatever's ready to be released to be released.
Easy,
Gentle breath.
And receiving healing,
Inviting and allowing the healing,
Whether you're aware of it or not,
Just connecting and taking it in on the inhale.
And allowing the exhale to be a time to let go of anything that no longer serves.
And when you feel ready,
Staying here in this practice for as long as you'd like,
For as long as you need.
And when you feel ready,
Just gently begin to return.
Return to this moment,
To the space and the place where you're practicing this meditation.
And set the intention as you open your eyes to bring this quality of rest with you back into your day,
Back into your life.
