Transcript

Allow your eyes to comfortably close.

Breathe out in a long sigh,

Down the full length of your body,

Allowing it to begin to soften and release what is brought with it here.

In your own time,

Take your awareness down to where your body is making contact with the surface directly beneath it.

Surrender more of your body's weight to the support.

Allow everything to be as it is.

Become aware of the urban flow of your breath.

The sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils.

The movements your body makes as you breathe.

As you do so,

Let the whole of you soften and sit back onto the support beneath you.

Notice the support is steady.

Notice the steadiness is there for you now.

Sit back directly onto the steadiness.

In your own time,

Become aware of the touch of the air on your face and body.

Sense out to the horizon spreading all the way round you.

Into the distance and beyond.

High to sky above.

Notice the spaciousness.

Breathe the spaciousness into you.

Say the affirmations silently or out loud.

All is well.

All shall be well.

And all manner of things shall be well.

Imagine putting a warm,

Comforting arm around yourself.

Let yourself know that you're doing okay.

You're doing well.

In your own time,

Notice the sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils.

The movements your body makes as you breathe.

Notice the steadiness there,

Directly beneath you.

Allow your own words of support to come if they wish.

And when you are ready,

You can draw this meditation to a close.

Thank you.
