Find a comfortable spot to sit or lie down.
You can close your eyes if that feels comfortable or just soften your gaze.
Take a moment to notice how you're feeling after your school day.
Maybe you're tired.
Maybe you're still thinking about something that happened today.
Or you're excited,
Frustrated,
Happy,
Or just ready to relax.
Whatever you're feeling is okay.
For the next few minutes,
You don't have to do anything You can just breathe We're going to use different colors with our breathing to help let go of some of the things we may have carried with us through the school day.
Let's start with the color red.
Imagine a warm gentle red light around you.
And take a slow breath in through your nose.
And imagine breathing in that red light.
And breathe out.
Letting go of anything from your school day that you don't need to carry anymore.
Again,
Breathe in the red light.
And breathe out,
Letting the day begin to leave your body.
One more time,
Breathe in red.
And breathe out relaxing a little more.
Now imagine the color orange.
A warm happy orange light around you.
Breathe in the orange light.
And breathe out anything that feels heavy.
Again breathing in the orange light.
And breathe out any worries,
Frustration,
Or tension.
Once more,
Breathing in through your nose the orange light.
And breathing out,
Letting yourself feel a little lighter.
Now imagine a soft yellow light like the sunshine.
Breathe in that yellow light.
And breathe out anything that made you feel upset,
Annoyed,
Or stressed today.
Breathing in the yellow light.
And breathe out,
Letting those feelings go.
Once more,
Breathing in yellow.
And breathing out,
Making space for a little more calm.
Now picture a gentle green light.
Around your heart.
Breathe deeply in that green light.
And breathe out any hurt feelings or things that bothered you today.
Breathe in the green light deep into your heart.
And breathe out letting your heart soften One more time.
Breathing in green.
And breathing out,
Feeling peaceful and safe.
Now imagine a beautiful blue light.
Like the sky on a calm day.
Breathe in the blue light.
And breathe out all the noise and busyness from your day.
Again breathing in blue And breathe out,
Allowing your mind to become quieter.
Once more,
Breathing in blue and slowly breathe out.
Now imagine a deep indigo light.
Like the evening sky.
Breathe in the indigo light.
And breathe out all the thoughts that are still bouncing around in your head.
Another deep breath in of the indigo light.
And breathe out,
Letting your mind slow down.
Again,
Breathe in the indigo light.
And long breath out.
And finally,
Imagine a soft violet light surrounding you.
This is your time to rest.
Breathe in the violet light.
And breathe out anything else you are ready to leave behind from today.
Again,
Breathe in the violet light deep into your belly.
And breathe out,
Feeling calm and relaxed.
One more time.
Breathe in,
Violet.
And slowly breathe out.
Now imagine all seven colors together.
Red.
Orange yellow Green.
Blue,
Indigo.
And violet.
See them surrounding you like a soft rainbow of light.
Take a slow,
Comfortable breath in.
And breathe out.
You made it through your school days.
You don't have to think about tomorrow yet.
Right now you can just rest.
Notice how your body feels.
Your shoulders can relax.
Your hands can become loose.
And your whole body can take a little break.
Take one final slow breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Let go of the very last little bit of your school day.
The day is done.
And you can relax for this moment.
When you're ready.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take your time.
Slowly open your eyes if they were closed.
And carry this calm feeling with you for the rest of your day.
