Arriving At Your Breathing Body

Arriving gently at your breathing body, become profoundly aware of how your body moves to accommodate your breath. Allow yourself to rest in this awareness of the breath and, soak in the beauty and power of the ruminating energy sources around you. Feel your mind and body release any tension you hold, as you bring your thoughts inwards.

So,

I invite you to make yourself comfortable and close your eyes either fully or partially.

Tuning into the rhythm of your breathing.

Noticing how your body moves to accommodate your breath.

Your chest expands,

Your shoulders raise a little,

Your belly moves,

Even your head and your neck move just a little to accommodate the breath.

And whole body breathes.

If you're noticing any tension as you bring your awareness inward,

Maybe offering a little kindness to yourself,

Maybe putting your hand on your heart or somewhere else on your body that feels soothing,

Feeling the warmth and the gentle pressure of your hand,

Connecting with yourself.

And as we're moving towards the end of this little arriving meditation,

Arriving at our body,

Taking one slightly larger breath,

Expanding your body a bit more than usual with the breath.

Feel the breath filling you up and then releasing that breath,

Expanding your awareness out to your body,

Becoming aware of the physicality of your body,

Maybe starting to move your fingers,

Your toes,

Your wrists,

Your ankles,

Your shoulders.

When you're ready,

Gently opening your eyes,

Maybe softly orienting yourself to the space that you're in,

Taking a look around,

Having a sip of your drink,

A little stretch if you need it.
