Welcome to your practice I'm so glad you're here you beginning to find a comfortable position.
Anything that feels good in your body in this moment You allow yourself to sink into your breath.
Your mind lets go And you drop down into the body.
As you observe your inhale.
And your exhale.
Slowly,
Gently breathing in and breathing out.
Inhaling and letting it go You might notice the temperature of the air as it comes in,
The feel as it moves through the body,
Expanding the ribs and the way that it feels as your body relaxes and lets go on the exhale.
Becoming more and more relaxed with each breath.
Is beginning to melt down into that surface beneath you.
You might feel a cool air on your skin where your clothes touch the skin Just noticing the sensation of feeling And we'll begin a short body scan now.
Just allowing the body to relax further.
Bring awareness to the top of the head,
The crown.
Hot area and.
.
.
A wave of relaxation spreading from the top of your head down down through your forehead,
Temples,
Eyes cheekbones.
John.
Mouth.
All relaxed.
Neck Throat Letting go.
Down through the shoulders Shoulders release and relax.
Each arm and biceps Elbows.
Or are.
The Risk.
Each and every finger Relax.
Tension back up to the chest.
Top of the bag.
Letting go down through the lungs,
Stomach,
Middle back Relax.
The abdomen.
A lower back.
Letting go Letting it go.
My hips.
The eyes.
The knees.
All the little muscles and tendons around the knees,
Behind the knees morning.
The calves and the shins down to the ankles tops of the feet.
Bottoms of the feet.
Each and every toe Relaxed.
Whole body relaxed now and you might begin to imagine a color color that is peaceful Relaxing Maybe it reminds you of one of your favorite,
Most relaxing places.
Things.
Bring up this color in your mind's eye and imagine it completely enveloping holding you.
And its loving,
Peaceful presence.
Safe.
And relax.
Is okay to be I am safe Allow yourself to feel held this color Let's see.
.
.
A space that is just for you.
This color expanding further and further out around you I can't imagine letting go.
Color spread to any of your loved ones.
You might need to feel relaxation or peace.
Spreading that color out further beyond.
All the way.
Be your loved one.
Enveloping that person.
Connecting you to that person in this loving presence and calm.
Now.
Will bring your awareness back in all the way in to the body here.
Beginning to feel the sensation of your breath The rise and fall of your chest,
Your abdomen as you breathe.
Taking with you all that you need.
This time today.
And letting go of the rest.
This was all for you let go of anything you don't need And bringing awareness back into the body by wiggling the toes,
Maybe the fingers.
Coming back into this body,
Into this room.
Taking your time.
Gently blinking open the eyes when you're ready and maybe doing a stretch or.
.
.
Moving in a way that your body is asking for now.
I'm so glad you were here with me today.
I'm so grateful.
To offer the space for you.
I hope you know you are never alone.
Until next time.
