Hi there and welcome to this regulating moment of your day.
I invite you to notice if you are sitting or standing or lying down.
And just take a deep breath.
Deep breath in through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
Let's do another one.
Taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Let's do one more.
Deep breath in and deep breath out.
Deep breath in and deep breath out.
How does that feel?
Feeling aware of the present moment.
Feeling the breath in your body.
And how does your body feel at this moment?
Is it light or heavy?
Is there a flow or tension?
We are just going to take a moment to put some movement in our bodies.
Start by taking a stretch in whatever way feels good for your body.
It can be putting your arms over your head and stretching all the way up.
Or pushing your feet away,
Your heels away from your body.
Lengthening your spine.
Taking a deep breath in through the mouth.
And then switching to another stretch.
Taking a deep breath there.
And when you breathe out,
Letting go.
I want to invite you to,
Whatever your body position is,
To bring a shake into it.
Maybe it's in your hands or in your feet or in your legs.
Maybe it's in your hips,
Maybe it's in your head,
Maybe it's your whole body.
And just shake it.
Shake it softly,
Strongly,
Whatever feels right for you.
Just give it a good shake.
And using your breath,
Breathing out through your mouth,
Just releasing.
Keep going,
Keep shaking.
We're going to hold this for a little bit longer.
Keep shaking your body or body part.
It can be small or big,
Your choice.
Keep shaking,
Keep breathing.
Take deep breaths while you're shaking.
And then letting that go,
Letting the shaking go,
And just being still.
What do you notice in your body?
Are there sensations?
Is there warmth or cold,
Tingling?
Anything else that you notice?
And just keep feeling it.
Be aware of the sensations that are becoming present in your body.
And then inviting you to put your hands somewhere on your body that feels good,
Whether that's your heart or your tummy,
Your legs,
Maybe it's your shoulders or your face.
What feels right for you?
Keep breathing.
Keep on breathing.
And we're going to take three more deep breaths just to become present in this moment and to close this regulating practice.
Let's take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And you can do this in your own tempo,
Breathing in and breathing out.
And let's do one final one together,
Breathing in and breathing out.
And if you had your eyes closed,
Just become aware of the space around you by opening your eyes.
Notice what you're seeing,
What you're hearing,
What you're feeling.
And I hope you have a great rest of your day.
And repeat this whenever you need to be a bit more regulated or come back into the present moment.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
