Transcript

This is your resting breath practice.

So lie yourself down.

Support the head and neck.

Make sure you feel comfortable.

Slide the shoulder blades down your back a little bit.

Just feel the back body resting on the floor or the bed.

Just tuning into a grounding sensation of the back body,

A softening sensation of the front body,

And the whole body altogether soft and grounded.

Let all the air out.

And exhale.

Just let your breath return to its natural rhythm.

Tune back into the sensation of soft and grounded.

Just let yourself rest here for another moment.

Maybe you drift off to sleep now.
