Thank you for joining me.

We're going to be working into a breath work that allows you to really feel supported.

And so for this one I want you to actually take more of a Shavasana position for this.

So you don't have to be sat up through the practice.

So I want you to just take a few moments to get yourself really nice and comfortable into any Shavasana position that you enjoy today.

I want you to just close the eyes or soften the gaze.

I want you to just take a few breaths.

Just observing how you feel.

And before we get started on the breath work I just want you to do a quick scan of the body.

Noticing any areas where you're feeling a little bit of tightness or tension.

Inviting each part of your body to soften and to relax.

So observing the muscles of the face.

Making sure you're not scrunching up the eyebrows.

Or clenching the jaw.

You can allow yourself to give the jaw a little wiggle side to side.

And then rest it so that there's a slight gap between the upper and lower teeth.

And the tongue rests behind the upper teeth.

You can notice if there's any tension.

If your shoulders are pulling up towards your ears.

Maybe you lift up,

Shuffle the shoulders down.

Relax them down.

Softening the elbows.

Allow the palms to rest facing up.

Or if that doesn't feel comfortable for you just allow them to rest however.

And then allow the fingers to curl in to find comfort there.

Bringing your attention to the chest,

The abdomen.

Noticing the movements that your body makes as it breathes.

Allowing the belly to rise and fall with your breath.

Softening into the hips,

The knees and the feet.

Allowing yourself to gently rock the feet in or out,

Whatever is comfortable for you.

And from here we're going to take the left hand to the belly.

The right hand to the heart.

And start to connect with our breath here.

Feeling the belly rising and falling with the breath.

And feeling the soft rhythm of the heartbeat under your hand.

Taking a moment to connect back to yourself here.

And here in this moment we reconnect with ourselves.

We take a moment of gratitude.

How wonderful it is to be alive,

To be breathing.

To feel the heart beating.

Because in this moment there is only now.

There is only inhale and exhale.

And as you feel this connection to yourself.

And this connection to your breath.

You start to feel the stillness from within.

Often we can be so busy.

Like a body of water crashing around and splashing around.

And when we connect back to ourself and that water starts to still.

To become clearer.

It allows us to see what is really there.

And what is really happening in this moment.

And as you lay here.

I want you to start to tune into a frequency of love.

And compassion for yourself.

This gratitude for your amazing bodies.

And I want you to think of three compliments that you can give yourself.

And I want you to frame them as.

I am this.

I am that.

Whatever you need to hear today.

I want you to really feel that love and compassion.

From you to you.

Knowing that here in this moment.

You are exactly where you need to be.

You are right on time.

And everything is going exactly to the plan.

That the universe has for you.

And if you would like to stay here in this stillness.

With this breath.

Know that you can stay here for as long as you need to.

Or whenever you are ready.

You can gently release the hands.

Take a few moments coming back to your usual breathing.

And just observe how you feel after that practice.

Maybe rating how you feel energetically.

And that doesn't mean you have to be full of beans.

But are you vibrating on a level that.

Aligns with thoughts and feelings and emotions.

That light you up.

Maybe start to wriggle the fingers and the toes.

Maybe drawing the legs together.

Reach the arms up overhead.

Give yourself a stretch.

Maybe hug the knees in towards the chest.

And gently rock onto one side of the body.

Taking a moment on your side.

Before you gently bring yourself up.

To a comfortable seated position.

Thank you so much for joining me for this practice today.

I really hope that you enjoyed it.

And I would love to know how you get on.

So if you would like to share anything and you want to tag me.

Please go ahead and do.

Otherwise I will see you guys on another video very soon.
