Music Wherever you are,

The next five minutes are just for you.

Begin the practice by sitting in a comfortable posture of your choice.

You can place your hands on your thighs,

Palms facing up towards the ceiling,

Elbows close to the body.

Or you can rest them gently in your lap,

Cupping into one another.

If you feel comfortable,

You can close your eyes or gaze softly at a point in front of you.

Together,

Let's take a deep breath in through the nose.

And as you breathe out,

Relax your entire weight onto the seat beneath you.

Inhaling in one more time.

Long breath out,

Releasing and letting go.

Deep breath in,

Deep breath out,

Allowing your eyes to close gently now.

Move your awareness to your facial muscles.

Inhale,

And as you exhale,

Relax any tension from the forehead,

The eyes and the face.

Shifting awareness to your neck and upper back now.

Take a deep breath in,

And as you exhale,

Release and relax your entire upper back.

Moving awareness to the lower back now.

Notice if there's any tension here.

Take a deep breath in,

Exhale and release.

Moving awareness to the chest now.

Inhale,

Expanding your chest.

Exhale,

Letting go.

Moving awareness to the feet now.

Inhale,

Exhale,

Relaxing your toes and your soles.

And relax.

This time,

Breathe in through the nose.

Open your mouth and sigh it out.

Breathing in through the nose.

Opening the mouth,

Exhaling.

Long breath in,

Open the mouth,

Long exhale.

Breathing in,

Exhaling.

Repeat this two more times at your own pace.

And relax.

Well done.

As we come to the end of this session,

Notice how you feel now.

Come back to this practice anytime you wish to refresh and relax.

With a big smile on your face,

Whenever you feel ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Thank you for sharing your time and your practice with me today.
