Thank you for joining me for this short check-in practice.
I'll invite you to just settle into your space wherever you are.
And if it's safe to do so,
I'll invite you to close your eyes.
Just drawing your attention,
Your awareness inward,
Beginning to let the external drop away,
Beginning to find a sense of comfort within your body.
Taking a moment to check in with your body,
Lovingly seeing if there's any areas of tension where you might be able to invite in a little bit more releasing,
A little bit more relaxation.
Maybe in your forehead,
Maybe in your eyelids or the muscles around your eyes,
Just allowing them all to soften.
Releasing in your cheeks,
Through your jaw,
Into your shoulders,
Down your arms and into the palms of your hands.
Checking in with how you're currently breathing,
Just noticing without judgment.
Anytime you're pulled away by any thoughts or feelings that aren't helpful,
Aren't serving you,
Simply redirect your attention,
Your awareness to your breath,
Knowing you can always come back to those things if they're really important after this practice.
Breathing in,
Finding presence,
Breathing out,
Letting go.
And let's take three deep breaths together,
Breathing in,
Allowing for expansion through your belly,
Filling up,
Sighing out,
Letting the air leave through your mouth and doing that two more times at your own pace.
Expansion,
Letting go.
Expansion,
Releasing and softening.
Taking a couple of final moments here to just check in with yourself,
Letting your breath return to a more natural rhythm.
Having gratitude for this present moment before opening up your eyes and returning to your workspace.
