Take a comfortable position. You may lie down on your back or sit with your spine gently supported. Allow your hands to rest softly by your sides and if it feels comfortable, Gently close your eyes. Take a slow, Deep breath in and a long, Soft breath out. Again, Breathe in and breathe out, Letting your body begin to settle. There is nothing you need to do right now, Nowhere you need to go, Just this moment and your body. Bring your attention to your breathing. Notice the natural rhythm of your breath without changing it. Feel how your body breathes you. Now gently bring your awareness down to your feet. Notice your toes, The soles of your feet, Your heels, To anything, Just observe. Feel any sensations here, Warmth, Tension, Heaviness or maybe even numbness. Now slowly move your attention up into your ankles. Just notice them now. Moving up into your thighs, Feel the weight of your legs being supported. Allow your legs to fully relax. Now bring your awareness to your pelvis, Hips and lower back. This area often carries a lot of tension, Fatigue or discomfort. Just notice what is already here. There is nothing you need to change, Simply observe. If you feel tightness, Stiffness, Instead you are gently surrounding it with awareness and soft, Healing breath. Inhale, Sending space into the lower back, Exhale, Letting go a little more. You might imagine a warm, Soothing light in this area or simply a sense of openness slowly returning. And even if nothing changes, That is completely ok, Just being present with this area is already a form of release. Now allow your lower back to feel supported, Held by the surface beneath you, Safe and steady. Imagine, With each exhale, Your lower back becomes a little softer, A little more spacious. Let go of any unnecessary holding here. Now bring awareness to your abdomen. Notice your belly rising and falling gently with each breath. No need to hold it in, No need to control it, Just let it be soft. Now move into your chest area, Feel the expansion with each inhale and the gentle release with each exhale. Allow your chest to feel open. Bring attention to your hands, Your fingers, Palms, The space inside your hands. Notice any sensations without changing them. And now your shoulders. Many of us carry stress here. With each exhale, Allow your shoulders to drop slightly, Soften, Release. Are you holding tension there? If yes, Allow it to soften. Let your tongue rest gently in your mouth. Relax your cheeks. Let the space between your eyebrows soften. Now the top of your head.

Your whole body at once, From the top of your head, Down through your face, Neck, Chest, Belly, Hips, Legs, All the way to your feet. Your entire body is here, Breathing, Resting, Supportive.
