Ten embodied breaths. For the next few minutes we are going to pay loving attention to ten slow deep embodying breaths. Allow yourself to close your eyes for a few minutes or if you prefer you can look at a spot on the ground. Allow your gaze to soften. It might feel pleasing to blink your eyes to the rhythm of your breath. Opening your eyes as you inhale and closing your eyes as you exhale. Open up to a deep inhale and exhale. Can you hear any sounds of your inhale? Embrace the luxury of your inhalation. Softening as you exhale. Feel the ease of your exhalation. With each exhale see if you can breathe out as slowly as feels soothing in your body. Allowing your lungs to refill by themselves. Be with the sensations of your lungs emptying. Be with the sensations of them refilling. Notice and feel your ribcage rising and falling. Notice and feel the gentle rise and fall of your shoulders. Welcome the circulation of your energy. As you inhale and exhale feel the gentle rise and fall of your ribcage. The rise and fall of your shoulders. Experience ten slow deep embodying breaths. Become sensitive to the rhythmic flow of your breath in your body. With your next breath before opening your eyes become aware of any sounds you can hear in the space around you. Become aware of any smells or sensations. When you are ready open your eyes to the space around you. Allow a moment to pause and reflect on your experience.
