Breathe- Physical Release

Find yourself in a comfortable seat where your spine can be straight and tall.

Shoulders relax down,

Hands soft.

Begin to watch your breath,

Noticing the quality of each inhale and each exhale.

How does the breath feel coming into your body at this moment?

If the breath feels shallow or limited,

What could be done to make it feel more expansive and free?

Relax the shoulders,

Soften the belly.

Allow the breath to be full and natural as you begin to make the in and out breaths an equal length.

Gradually slowing everything down.

And as slowly as you can comfortably.

And now notice any areas of the body that may feel tense or painful or perhaps restricted or fatigued.

Bring your attention to each of these areas one by one and imagine you can send your breath straight into the discomfort,

Inhaling and creating space and healing and exhaling out relieving any tension or fatigue.

Use your imagination to continue breathing just like this directly into any areas that need healing or relaxation and exhaling out allowing all tension to simply melt away.

Continue this process with each area of the body that needs your attention.

Imagine strongly that the breath has a healing power,

That it creates space for you,

Massaging the body,

Sending it nutrients.

Keep breathing like this until every tense area releases.

And remember that throughout the day you can take short moments to check in and if you notice any areas of discomfort you can consciously send your breath,

Send your attention on your breath giving that body part,

Those organs,

Those tissues permission to release and relax,

To rejuvenate and heal.
