This practice is about breathing.
We'll breathe slowly and with body awareness.
Slow,
Gentle breathing will help you to become calmer and more relaxed.
Close your lips and breathe through your nose.
Breathe as quietly as you can.
Find a comfortable position.
Be aware of your forehead.
Let it be smooth and soft.
And now your eyes.
Release the tiny muscles around them.
Let your cheeks be loose.
Sense your lips gently closed.
Muscles will feel loose and free.
Be aware of your nose and feel the air coming in cool and going out warm.
Air coming in cool and going out warm.
Let the flow of air be slower and softer.
Let it slow to a gentle trickle.
Softly in cool,
Softly out warm.
Focus into your breathing pattern.
Be aware of each out breath.
Let each out breath be very slow and leisurely.
Each out breath very loose and lazy.
So slow you can't feel its warmth.
Be aware of each in breath.
Let your body take what it wants gently and loosely.
Let your in breath be quiet and free.
Sense your jaw and let it release and relax.
Tongue is warm and loose.
Float your attention into your neck,
Letting any tightness drain away.
Feeling any warmth or tingling inside and around it.
Feel the breath passing through your throat.
Feel the gentle cooling of the in breath.
Allow your throat to release and expand.
Feel the soft out breath floating through slowly and gently.
Allow your attention to drift down into your chest.
Let the muscles become easy and loose.
Let any movement be soft and very gentle.
Out breath is slow and loose and lazy.
In breath is free and peaceful.
Let your attention flow into your stomach.
Release and relax the muscles in your stomach and waist.
Let any movement be free and very soft.

In breath is free and peaceful.
Be aware of your chest again,
Loose and wide.
Out breath moving slowly,
Gently out.
In breath quiet and free.
Sense your throat again,
Released and relaxed.
Out breath moving slowly and silently.
In breath quiet and free.
Sense your nose again and let waves of relaxation radiate out across your face and head.
