Welcome.
Let's take a few moments to breathe together to slow down the mind,
The body,
And welcome greater relaxation.
I invite you to find a comfortable seated position.
Close the eyes or allow the gaze to be relaxed.
Looking downward,
You might find it comfortable to rest your hands on your lap with the palms of your hands facing upward.
Take a full deep breath and exhale completely.
And now inhale through the nose for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Pause and hold the breath.
And exhale through the nose for four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Pause.
Relax the shoulders.
Inhale for three,
Two,
One.
Gently hold the breath.
The face is relaxed.
Exhale for three,
Two,
One.
Pause.
Hold.
Inhale for three,

Hold.
Exhale for three,
Two,
One.
Pause and hold.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
Hold.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
Hold.
Move through two more rounds of breath like this.
Counting in your mind.
Feel your body becoming more relaxed and at ease.
Beautiful.
Relax the counting.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
Exhale through the mouth.
Exhale through the mouth.
Slowly move the body.
Stretch a little.
And if your eyes are closed,
Slowly open them.
Thank you for joining me for this pause to slow down,
Become more present and welcome greater ease.
All my love.
