Settling in,
Making yourself comfortable,
Resting back and feeling that you can breathe in,

Any rush or stress or busyness that you were tending to before you arrived here to rest on the ground.
Breathing in the belly rises and breathing out feeling that the body,
The mind,
The heart can come to settle.
Maybe the sense that with the energies of the day we're all stirred up like a glass of orange juice with bits in it and as we set the glass down we set ourselves down and come into the stillness of the mind and the body that these flying around bits,
This scattered energy can settle and we can come to rest in our body,

Space.
And breathing out,
Maybe rolling the head from side to side,
Maybe starting to move the fingers and toes.
Taking some time to slowly reanimate the body.
And find your way back to movement.
