We'll start by taking three deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth on the last exhale gently drift your eyes closed notice what's happening in your body right now don't try to change anything just softly notice and take in the sensations check in with what emotion you are feeling right now what sensations are telling you that? There's no right or wrong emotion there's no right or wrong sensations just being with what is if you can't tell that's okay too we'll tune into your breath every time you exhale slow it down a bit more allow your exhales to let you ease into and sense your body a bit more notice where do you feel energized or lively where is there pulsing where do you feel expansion where do you feel warm keep your attention there just noticing now where do you sense tension are there areas you feel tight or tense just bring a sense of warmth and curiosity to what is occurring in this moment no need to change anything are there parts of yourself that you can't feel well notice if there are any parts of your body that feel numb no need to think about it just lightly witness let's check in with the mind is your mind active or calm do you have a lot of thoughts just notice with a loving sense of warmth and curiosity no need to change anything now listen to the sounds around you notice the larger sounds and then move on to the more subtle sounds and slowly gently open your eyes part way looking down at the ground see if you can let your gaze be soft and still keep a sense of the sensations alive in your body take a moment now to ask yourself what's important for the next segment of my day and then gently open your eyes the rest of the way
