Let's begin with taking a deep breath in,
Breathing in.
.
.
And let it go.
.
.
And again,
Taking a deep breath in,
Breathing in.
.
.
And let it go.
.
.
Let's welcome in this moment.
.
.
Whatever's present for you in this moment.
.
.
Knowing that for these next few minutes.
.
.
This is your time to relax.
.
.
To let go.
.
.
And to rest.
.
.
Allow your body to get comfortable.
.
.
To move and let go however it needs to.
.
.
And just giving your body full permission to rest for these next few minutes.
.
.
Let's take another breath in through the nose.
.
.
Let it all go.
.
.
Just seeing now if you can relax your face.
.
.
Relaxing your forehead,
Letting it soften and open.
.
.
In between your eyebrows.
.
.
Allowing your cheeks to drop.
.
.
Letting your jaw soften.
.
.
Just allowing your neck.
.
.
That point where your head meets your neck and the back of your neck.
.
.
Just imagining that there's some breath and space coming into that part behind your neck.
.
.
And seeing if you can open and relax your throat.
.
.
Feeling the breath come into your throat and out.
.
.
And if thoughts come in,
That's okay.
.
.
Just gently come back to your breath.
.
.
Seeing if you can gently relax your shoulders.
.
.
Breathing in and on the exhale allowing your shoulders to drop.
.
.
And bringing your awareness to the space behind your shoulders.
.
.
In between your shoulder blades,
The back of your heart area.
.
.
Just imagining that someone that you love is placing their hand,
This loving hand,
At the back of your chest.
.
.
Feeling that feeling of support.
.
.
Just a warm and loving hand,
A gesture of support.
.
.
Breathing into the back of your chest.
.
.
Remembering that you are always supported.
.
.
And that you can lean into the support when and if you need.
.
.
Feel yourself dropping deeper now into relaxation.
.
.
Sitting back,
Leaning back in yourself with this hand supporting you,
You don't have to do anything.
.
.
And imagining now putting your own hand on your heart on the front of your chest.
.
.
Taking some breaths into your heart space.
.
.
Remembering to be kind to yourself.
.
.
That you're transitioning through a lot of change.
.
.
A day to day your body is processing many,
Many things.
.
.
So as you breathe into your heart,
May it be a reminder to be a good friend to yourself.
.
.
To look after and take care of your body.
.
.
And to listen to the signs that your body is giving you.
.
.
For your body will tell you when it's tired and needs rest.
.
.
Your body will tell you when it's stressed or tense.
.
.
So let's thank your body for giving you these signs.
.
.
And as you breathe deep into your heart.
.
.
Please give your body full permission to let go,
For you are listening.
.
.
You are right here with it.
.
.
And finally let's bring the breath down to the lower half of your body.
.
.
See if you can gently invite the breath into your belly.
.
.
Breathing down deeper.
.
.
Feeling grounded,
Connected to the earth.
.
.
Feeling the strength and stillness in your body.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
Breathing out.
.
.
May you feel rested today.
.
.
May you be a good friend to yourself today.
.
.
May your body know it can let go.
.
.
And may your breath be your anchor back to presence and living from your heart.
.
.
Let's take one final deep breath in together to complete this meditation.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
Let it all go.
.
.
And if you'd like to bring your hands to your heart.
.
.
Let's take one final deep breath into the heart together,
Breathing in.
.
.
Let it go.
.
.
Very very gently and slowly in your own time.
.
.
Coming back into the room.
.
.
And slowly when you're ready,
Opening your eyes.
.
.
Let it go.
.
.
Let it go.
.
.
