As if the lungs are in the belly,
Taking a deep breath in,
Filling the belly lungs,
And then exhaling letting the breath fall out of the mouth like a sigh.
Breathing in,
Belly full,
Breathing out letting go,
Breathing in,
Belly full,
Breathing out letting go,
Feeling how that exhale really helps you to drop down and let go.
As we go on a journey through the body,
Let's breathe in and bring our awareness to our feet,
Feeling maybe that we could breathe into the feet,
And breathe out,
Let the feet relax.
Maybe the heels can rest more heavy into the ground.
Breathing in,
Bringing our awareness to the legs,
And maybe this sense that we could breathe into the legs,
And then breathing out,
Let the legs go.
Let the legs be heavier,
Maybe the groin can relax,
So maybe relaxing the groin allows the legs to rest more heavy into the ground.
Let's take a deep breath into the bowl of the pelvis,
Imagining that with the breath we could swell the hips away from each other,
Swell the hips wide,
And then exhaling out of the mouth,
Letting go,
Let the pelvis deepen into the ground.
Let's take a deep breath into the lower back,
Swell the lower back into the ground,
And then exhale out of the mouth,
Let go,
Let the lower back relax and release.
Let's take a deep breath into the side waist,
And exhale at the side waist,
Relax,
Let the belly take up a little more space,
The belly go.
Let's take a deep breath into the belly,
Feel the belly swell,
Belly expanding,
And then exhale,
Let go,
Let the belly go.
Take a deep breath into the upper back and swell the upper back and the shoulder blades into the ground,
And then exhale,
Relax.
Take a deep breath into the chest,
Allow the chest to swell,
And then exhale,
Let the chest soften.
Just take a deep breath into the shoulders,
And perhaps the shoulders swell a little bit towards the ears,
And then with the exhale,
Let the shoulders relax.
Maybe there's a sense that the collar bones could fall open a little more.
Let's feel,
Sense,
Or imagine that we could breathe into the arms,
And then exhale,
Let the arms relax,
Let the arms rest more heavy into the ground.
Let's take a deep breath and feel,
Imagine,
Sense that we could breathe into the hands and fingers and thumbs,
And then with the exhale,
The fingers relax,
The thumbs relax.
Let's take a deep breath into the neck and the throat,
And with the exhale,
Let the neck relax as you give the weight of the head to the ground.
Let's take a deep breath into the jaw,
Exhale,
Let the teeth fall away from each other,
Let the bottom jaw fall away from the top jaw,
Let the jaw relax.
As the jaw relaxes,
Perhaps feeling for how the back of the neck and the base of the skull can soften and relax a little more,
Feeling for that connection between the jaw and the nape of the neck.
Breathing into the inside of the mouth,
Breathing out,
Let the tongue relax,
Let the upper palate soften upwards and the lower palate soften downwards,
More space inside the mouth.
Breathe into the lips,
And breathe out,
Let the lips fall away from each other,
The lips softening,
And as the lips soften,
Perhaps the skin and the muscles of the lower half of the face can relax as well.
Breathing into the eyes,
The eyeballs,
And breathing out,
Let the eyeballs be heavy,
The eyeballs rest back.
Breathing into the skin and the muscles around the eyes and the eyelids,
And breathing out,
Let the eyelids rest soft yet heavy,
One against the other.
Breathe into the forehead,
And breathe out,
Allow the forehead to soften and smooth.
Breathe into the space between the eyebrows,
And breathe out,
Let the space between the eyebrows relax.
Breathe into the temples,
And breathe out,
Let the temples relax,
As if you could breathe into the inside of the head,
And then exhale,
Let go,
As if you could breathe more space into the brain,
And then exhale,
Relax.
Breathe into the spine,
And breathe out,
Let the spine relax.
Let's feel sense,
The whole body lying here on the ground.
Feel that we could breathe into the whole body,
As if the breath came into the belly and spread out through the whole of the body from the belly,
And then exhale,
The whole body can relax.
Breathing into the belly to fill the whole body from there,
And then exhaling,
Letting go.
One more big deep full belly breath in,
Filling the belly and then feeling that the rest of the body can be filled,
And then exhale,
Letting go.
Letting the next in breath bring this animated energy,
Animating energy.
Breathing in to fill the body,
And breathing out,
Letting go.
Feeling that with the next in breath,
You're ready to come back to movement,
And with the next exhale starting to maybe wiggle the fingers and toes or roll the head from side to side,
Just finding your own way to come back to movement.
