Transcript

Let's start by taking a couple of slow,

Deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Start to notice the rise and fall of your chest and your stomach.

Now focus in on your heart,

All of your energy,

All of your attention right there.

Think about something that you feel deeply grateful for,

Something that fills your heart with warmth and joy and love.

Notice how your heart feels when you're in this place of gratitude.

Let's take that feeling and expand that.

You can even give it a color,

Any color that you like.

See it as a light coming from your heart and expanding up towards the top of your head,

Filling every cell of your body with this warmth,

This appreciation,

This love.

Feeling it going down to the tips of your fingers and all the way down to your toes.

Just take the last minute of this song to embrace and enjoy this feeling of warmth and gratitude.

Let's take another deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
