To begin,
Close your eyes and sit comfortably with your spine and neck straight and without crossed arms or legs,
Unless you are intentionally sitting in the lotus or cross-legged position.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Breathing in and out through the nose if possible.
Both the gentle in-breath and the gentle out-breath of equal strength and duration.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
I breathe out.
I breathe in.
I breathe in with mindfulness.
I breathe out with mindfulness.
I breathe in with mindfulness.
I breathe out with mindfulness.

I breathe out slow.

I breathe in and feel my body.
I breathe out and relax.
I breathe in and feel my body.
I breathe out and relax.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
I breathe in.
I breathe in and acknowledge that I am blessed with life.
I breathe out smiling.
I breathe in and acknowledge that I am blessed with life.
I breathe out smiling.
I breathe in and acknowledge that I am blessed with life.
I breathe out smiling.
I breathe in and am present.
I breathe out and fully embrace the moment.
I breathe in and am present.
I breathe out and fully embrace the moment.
I breathe in and acknowledge that I am blessed with life.
I breathe out and I am present.
I breathe in and I am blessed with life.
I breathe in and I am filled.
I breathe out and am here now.
I breathe in and am filled.
I breathe out and am here now.
I breathe in and I am here now.
I breathe out and I am here now.
Now take three long deep breaths and slowly open your eyes.
