Today,
Your mantra will be the word rest.
When I say the word rest,
Repeat it back to yourself silently,
But also feel a sense of restfulness throughout your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Let's begin by getting into a comfortable position and then closing your eyes.
And then start to notice your breath as it moves in and out through your nose.
Not changing how you're breathing,
Just noticing the air as it moves.
Taking a moment here to listen to yourself breathing.
And now taking a moment to see if you can feel the temperature of the air as it moves in and out.
And now from this place of connection with your breath,
I invite you to start taking a little deeper inhale and a little deeper exhale with each breath.
Not forcing anything,
But just going a little bit deeper with each breath,
Each inhale,
Each exhale.
And now with intention on your inhale,
I want you to feel as if the breath is moving up from your feet to your knees,
To your hips,
All the way up through your chest,
To your head,
And then out through your nose.
So breathing up through your feet,
To your knees,
Your hips,
Through your chest,
To your head,
And out through your nose.
Elongating each breath just a little bit without it feeling like a struggle.
Feeling this wave of air move up through your body and out.
Slowing down each breath,
Seeing how slow you can inhale and how slow you can exhale.
And now from this place of presence and connection,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest.
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest.
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest.
