Transcript

Find a comfortable space,

Either laying or seated,

And start to close down your eyes,

Getting yourself comfortable,

Making any last minute adjustments,

Just starting to feel into your body.

Feeling any tension,

Sensing your body on the bed or wherever you have landed,

And then starting to notice your breath,

Just take notice,

Don't change it or judge it.

Just taking notice of the inward and outward breath,

Is it shallow,

Is it restricted,

Are you deeply breathing?

We're just going to start to change that breath,

Breathing in through the nose for the count of 4,

Breathing out through the nose for the count of 8.

Starting now to breathe in 1,

Out 7,

Starting again and continuing this breath,

Counting 4 in and 8 out,

And you want belly deep breaths,

Not surface breaths,

So you want to breathe in but not too fast,

You want to breathe in slow and deep for 4,

And then out slow and long.

Just continuing with this breath,

This breath allows you to connect in with your vagus nerve and bring you into a state of calm.

Continuing the breath,

If your mind wanders,

Come back to the breath,

And while continuing this breath,

Start now to connect in with your heart space.

No longer needing to count exactly 4 in,

8 out,

But simply knowing the rhythm,

Connecting in with your heart,

Starting to feel gratitude.

Visually seeing those things that you are grateful for,

And seeing that entering into your heart space,

Opening,

Expanding that heart as you bring in more visual images of those that you are grateful for.

Continuing the breathing,

While being connected to the feeling.

And then the next inhalation,

Take a long deep breath in,

Holding at the top,

And a long exhale out through the mouth completely.

Continuing the breathing,

Take another deep breath in,

Holding at the top,

And release through the mouth.

One more long deep breath in,

And completely release,

Coming back to a normal breath.

Starting to move your hands and your feet,

Slowly opening your eyes,

Coming back to the here and now.
