Let's begin by connecting with your breath.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
Notice how the breath feels flowing in and out of your body.
Notice any tightness in your lungs,
In your ribs.
Your belly.
Your child.
With each breath settling into your body.
With each breath clearing your mind.
If any mind chatter comes up.
Practice being the conscious observer without judgment.
And letting those thoughts.
Worries.
Float on by.
And come back to your breath.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
With each breath dropping into your body.
Into your heart.
And doing a scan from the top of your head.
To the bottom of your feet.
Noticing any spaces and places within your body.
That feel tight.
Anxious.
And breathing into them.
Asking what your body needs.
Perhaps it's a stretch.
Wiggle.
Gently stretching your neck from side to side.
Giving your jaw a wiggle or a yawn.
Asking any tension to release.
On your next inhale,
Bring in your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
And on your exhale,
Releasing it down.
On your next inhale,
Bringing shoulders up to ears.
And on your exhale,
Releasing them down.
Continuing to go through your body.
Chest,
Arms,
Legs,
Fingers,
Toes.
Ribs,
Belly,
Back,
Hips.
And just noticing.
What do I need in this moment?
To help me feel present.
Relax.
Peaceful.
More connected.
Where have I been holding tension?
Fear.
Anxiety.
Ciao.
I bring attention to those places and honor them.
It is safe to release,
To let go.
To surrender.
I breathe in love.
Peace.
See you.
I breathe out fear.
Anxiety,
And the unknown.
What matters in this moment is my breath.
My honoring of self.
I am safe.
I am love.
I am sacred.
And taking one final big,
Deep breath.
Breathing in,
Filling up belly,
Lungs,
Stretching out the back of the ribs as much as you can,
Holding it.
Sipping in a little more,
A little more.
And.
.
.
Let it all go.
Exhaling through the throat,
The jaw,
Maybe sticking out your tongue.
Ah.
Let it go,
Let it go,
Let it go.
And then coming back.
Do a nice,
Gentle inhale and exhale.
I am safe.
I am blessed.
I am sacred.
It is so,
And so it is.
And when you're ready,
Start to slowly,
Slowly make any authentic movements,
Stretches,
And open your eyes.
And integrate slowly back into your body.
To this moment.
Blessings,
Saints.
