Lengthen your spine and allow your shoulders to sink away from your ears.
In your own time,
Whenever you're ready,
Lower and soften your gaze or gently close your eyes.
Be right here,
Right now.
As other thoughts come,
Allow them to pass.
Do not allow them to distract you from this moment.
Whenever you're ready,
Begin by focusing on your breath to help you to your quiet mind.
Feel the coolness of the air as you inhale through your nose.
As you exhale through your mouth,
Feel the warm air escape past your lips.
Inhale through your nose.
Exhale through your mouth.
Slow,
Steady.
Focusful breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Follow your own breath,
Breathing at your own pace for three cycles.
As you exhale through your nose,
Feel the warm air escape past your lips.
With your eyes closed,
Begin to deepen your breath.
Inhale through your nose.
Imagine that all of the air you pull in is full of love and compassion.
As you exhale through your mouth,
Imagine that all of the stress and worry are leaving your body.
In with kindness,
Out with judgment.
In with joy,
Out with concern.
Imagine you're sitting outside.
The grass feels soft against your skin.
You're looking at the beautiful purples,
Oranges,
And blues that surround you and sway in the breeze.
The air is warm and full of light,
And you watch as the birds move above your head.
You notice that a small child is walking towards you across the open field.
You recognize the way the child walks.
You get up to meet the child.
Looking down into their eyes,
You realize you are looking into the eyes of your younger self.
You reach out and take the hand of your younger self and guide her to sit down next to you.
This is the kid that was not able to express herself when she felt neglected and alone.
This is the part of you that felt scared and unwanted.
You bring this young girl into your lap and hug her tight.
You tell her everything is going to be okay.
You hold her tight for several minutes,
Consulting and reassuring her.
You tell her that you will always take care of her.
That's it.
Return to your slow,
Steady,
And purposeful breath.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth in through your nose and out through your mouth in through your nose and out through your mouth Breathe at your own pace for three cycles Now take a breath for the mind take a breath for the spirit and take a breath for the body Namaste
