Breathe in deeply and let your body begin the process of letting go.

Begin to let all of your senses open up.

Slowly let go of the outside world.

Everything you need to feel is in you.

Become aware of what you can hear,

Expanding your hearing outside of the area that you are in.

Now bring your hearing into the area that you're in.

Let all the sounds come to you without thinking of them or judging them.

Breathe in deeply and breathe out letting your shoulders drop.

Become aware of what you can smell.

Become aware of what you can see.

Even with your eyes closed,

Notice any shades of light and dark.

Breathing deeply,

In and out.

Become aware of what you can taste,

Not thinking too much about it,

Just noticing.

In and out.

Letting your stomach muscles release.

Feel the floor beneath your feet and your connection to the floor and the earth below.

Your forehead and temples to just melt away any tension.
