Breathing anchor,
Coming to a posture where you feel comfortable,
Supported and at ease.
Relaxing the root of your tongue in your mouth,
Noticing how that feels.
Inviting you to cultivate a mindset that feels open,
Curious,
Letting go of any expectations and accepting of what your experience is in this moment.
Arriving now,
Arriving into this moment,
Arriving into this body.
Feeling supported and held by the chair or the ground and feeling that sense of connection to allow you to settle into gravity a little bit more.
Following the natural rhythm of your breath,
Settling into the natural rhythm of your breath.
Every exhale allowing a release,
Inviting in more space and ease.
Gently resting in this awareness and if you find a mind wandering,
Just knowing that that's completely natural.
It's just what the mind does and using that moment of awareness as an opportunity to bring your attention back to the breath.
And doing that as many times as you find helpful,
Becoming aware of the whole torso swelling and subsiding as you inhale and exhale.
Feeling receptive to your breath's natural rhythm.
Breathing in,
Energising the heart and the mind.
Breathing out,
Calming the heart and the mind.
Inviting your body to feel saturated with tenderness,
Space and ease.
Gently observing what you're noticing now.
Noticing the point the inhale meets the exhale and the exhale meets the inhale.
When you feel caught up in your thoughts or emotions,
Inviting you to use your awareness of the breath as an anchor.
To ground yourself,
Just like an anchor holds a ship steady in place.
Knowing this anchor is available to you anytime you need it.
Continuing to allow the body to soften more with every exhale.
Resting in the calm,
Abiding presence of the breath.
Fully inhabiting your body.
Sensing the fullness of this moment.
Bringing your awareness now to the full inhale and exhale.
All the way in and all the way out.
What are you noticing now?
Using your breath to ground yourself and to come home to yourself.
Enjoying the luxury and simplicity of silence for a few moments now.
Slowly becoming aware of the space around you.
Opening your eyes or raising your gaze.
And moving your body where you feel you need to.
