Allow your eyes to comfortably close.
And breathe out in a long sigh down the full length of your body.
As you do so,
Allow your body to soften and begin to release what it's brought with it here.
Take your awareness down to where the weight of your body rests on the surface directly beneath it.
Notice the support beneath you is steady.
Notice the steadiness is here for you now.
Become aware of the ebb and flow of your breath.
Notice the movements your body makes as you breathe.
Become aware of the sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils.
Notice the air is cool as it enters,
Warm as it leaves.
Notice your breathing in from the space around you and out into it.
Allow your breath to slow and lengthen.
Let everything be just as it is.
In your own time,
Become aware of the air touching your face and body.
Let it be there.
Sense out to either side of you,
Through the furthest horizons and beyond.
Notice the spaciousness,
Height of sky above,
Horizons spreading ahead of you and all the way around you.
As you sit back into the ebb and flow of your breath,
Imagine waves on a shoreline,
Gently moving in and out.
As each wave smooths the shore on its return to the ocean,
Breathe out all that your body is holding and no longer needs to carry.
Let it flow out into the ocean and away.
Breathe out all the concerns and worries you've been carrying in your head.
Let them flow out into the ocean and away.
Breathe out anything else you no longer need to carry.
Send it out into the ocean and away.
In your own time,
Notice the sensation of air entering your nostrils and leaving.
Notice the surface directly beneath your body.
And say the affirmation,
All is well.
When you are ready,
You can draw this meditation to a close.
