Take a moment to slow down and tune into your breathing.
Close your eyes if that's comfortable.
Notice at the center of your chest a softening on the exhale.
Now notice the same around your navel.
On your next exhale,
Invite that softening into the palms of your hands.
Next,
Across your upper back.
Exhale and relax your neck from the inside out.
Breathe in deeply through your nose.
As you exhale,
Relax your jaw and breathe out through your mouth with a sigh.
Ah.
Again,
Breathe in deeply through your nose.
Soften your forehead and temples.
Exhale,
Breathe in through your nose.
Exhale,
Breathe in through your nose.
Soften your forehead and temples as you exhale with a sigh.
Breathe in deeply and relax your entire body as you breathe out through your mouth.
Once more,
Breathe in and relax all over,
Releasing all tension with a deep sigh.
Begin to breathe in and out through your nose again and observe how you feel.
