So begin to settle comfortably into the space that you cultivated for your practice.
Taking a second to pay gratitude to yourself for being here in this moment.
Moment that you're actually taking to be present.
To journey within.
Just comfortably settling in.
Taking a few minutes to see where you are in the mind and the body with a quick check in.
Feeling any sensations.
Noticing any tightness in the body.
And noticing or sensing into your own personal mood or emotion.
Just acknowledging whatever is there.
Allowing yourself the space to just feel.
But also cultivating that space to just let go.
And letting go,
Just notice how you're feeling with that awareness and acknowledgement of whatever is and was there.
Begin to move that attention and that awareness to the breath.
Just noticing the cycle of the breath with each inhale and with each exhale.
Be mindful of the breath in the abdomen,
Expanding on each inhalation and falling gently on each exhalation.
Breathing in and out with awareness.
But also breathing normally and breathing naturally.
Just feel the natural rise and fall of the abdomen.
Just watching and being mindful of the breath coming in and out of the body.
Breathing in and out with awareness.
And as your mind begins to gently wander,
Compassionately and gently,
Make note of this wandering.
This active,
This vivid mind.
And then intentionally bring your awareness back to the breath.
And this gentle rise and fall of the abdomen,
Of the chest.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Falling down and being in this present moment,
One inhalation and one exhalation at a time.
Begin to gently withdraw that awareness from the breath and shifting it on a quick body scan.
Keeping up spaciousness to just be feeling into the body.
Starting at the crown,
Just relaxing.
Down to the space between the brow,
Just relax.
Stopping at the space between the nose,
Around the nose,
The mouth,
Softening the lips,
Releasing the tongue.
Letting any tension around the nose and the cheek area.
Just releasing it.
Going to the base of the throat,
Just relax.
The heart center,
Just relax.
Navel center,
Just relax.
Moving to the arms,
Your shoulders,
Down to the wrists,
The fingers,
Align those to just relax.
The base of the spine,
Just relaxing.
The sit bone,
The hips,
The knees,
Just relaxing.
The shins,
The ankles,
Relax.
The toes,
The soles of the feet,
Just relax.
Moving into the body with awareness.
As we begin to journey with the sound,
Allow yourself the space to just be in this moment.
For any intention you want to hold for your practice.
Allow that to be a guide in the instance that your mind begins to wonder.
Letting the body relax.

Begin to gently bring your awareness and attention back into your physical body.
Gently withdrawing from this practice.
Breathing back to the breath again.
In and out.
Feeling the abdomen,
The chest,
The belly expand with each inhalation and falling on the exhalation.
Again breathing in and out with awareness.
Allowing each breath to anchor you into this present moment.
Begin to move that awareness to the body.
Allowing yourself space and time to gently bring feeling and sensation back into your body.
To gently bring feeling and sensation into the body.
Starting from the feet.
Gently wiggling the toes.
Flexing the feet.
Allowing the soles of your feet to rest on the floor.
Both legs bent.
Gently moving the legs left and right.
Windshield wipering your legs.
Bringing motion into the hips and the lower body.
Beginning to gently roll the wrists.
Shrugging the shoulders up to your ears.
And letting them roll down your back.
Bringing that range of motion to the upper body.
Maybe begin to gently move the neck and the head left to right.
Slowly controlled but effortless.
And then take a few moments to take any other additional movements that may suit your body in this present moment.
And then when you're ready to begin to close your eyes.
And then when you're ready,
Make your way to a seated position.
Still keeping your eyes closed.
And when you're ready,
You can gently flutter your eyes open.
And as we close out our practice,
Take a second to pay gratitude to yourself for being intentional about your time and investing in you.
And as we close out,
The wisdom and compassion in me honors,
Acknowledges,
And loves the wisdom and compassion in everyone.
Namaste.
