Find a comfortable position and close the eyes as you take a few small adjustments for your body.
So that might be a few fuller breaths.
And really take ownership of your practice right now.
So maybe there's a big stretch or a few gentle movements that the body's asking for.
You can really take as long as you need to arrive here in the body and prepare it.
Stretch,
Breathe,
Allowing your gaze to turn inward.
Take a few full belly breaths,
Stretching out all the edges of your belly.
And on the exhale,
Let your shoulders soften.
Scan for any other places where you're holding.
Maybe it's your jaw,
Back or legs that you can relax a little bit more.
A sense of arriving right here,
Right now.
Aware of how your breath is weaving through the inner space.
Grounding your awareness into this moment.
Feel the sensations of air rubbing the chest area.
Inhalation and exhalation move in and out of the heart space.
Continue to soften the whole body.
But notice the special quality,
The attitude,
The energy the attitude,
The sense of allowing that comes when you touch the heart space,
Anchoring in with the breath.
This isConnor situated.
Let your shoulders melt.
Let your shoulders melt downward and backward even more.
As the breath passes through the heart space.
And for sure the thoughts continue to move,
Even my voice continues to be heard.
But notice that's all on the periphery.
Breathing through the heart,
Let it be the center of your practice.
Bringing an overall mood of softening and allowing the moment to be as it is.
Let your shoulders melt.
As we breathe through the heart space.
We can start to trust life itself.
The background of being and your life.
Instead of focusing on the details.
Focusing and softening more into this background of your own being.
Let your shoulders melt.
Letting the breath and the heart space guide this practice.
Not as many thoughts required.
Let your shoulders melt.
Let your shoulders melt.
Let your shoulders melt.
You can introduce a short pause between the breaths.
At the top of the breath,
Pause for less than one second,
Just noticing the little gap where there's no thoughts and no breath.
Just pure awareness,
Emptiness,
And stillness.
Letting the breath be full.
And really relax 100% into those short pauses,
Allowing yourself to empty out.
There might even be a full exhalation.
Maybe even a sound or a sigh.
As you surrender all the thoughts and tensions in the foreground.
Into this background of being.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
One more minute.
Feeling the sensations of your body and listening to the sounds that are here,
Connecting to the present moment again.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
You can slightly deepen the breath.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
And take as long as you like here,
Just to feel the effects of your practice.
And now that you'll be left alone,
You can really listen inward if there's any deeper messages or needs or intentions for this week ahead that you want to nurture and acknowledge.
Letting the breath be full.
Letting the breath be full.
