Take some time to place yourself in a comfortable position.
And take a few deep breaths and let your chest rise and fall with each inhale and exhale.
And when you're ready,
Let your eyes drift closed.
And as you continue to breathe slowly and deeply,
Let your attention rest gently on your breath.
Feeling the movement as it enters and exits your body.
And each time you exhale,
Let go of any tension.
Relax your face.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your belly.
Relax your belly.
Relax your legs.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your legs.
Relax your body.
Relax your legs.
Relax your body.
On your next exhale,
Settle your attention to the area around your heart.
Focus on the feelings of love,
Compassion,
Empathy,
Forgiveness.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
And with your attention on your heart center,
Bring to mind something or someone you're grateful for.
And as you continue with your easy,
Relaxed breathing,
Perhaps you feel grateful for being alive or healthy.
Perhaps you're grateful for the abundance of nature that produces food to nourish your body and beautiful scenery to nourish your soul.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.

Bring your attention to people who truly nourish you in your life and how they bless you with their presence.
Relax your body.

Let your body remember the sensations of your gratitude.
Beginning now to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Waking the body,
Becoming aware of the sounds around you in the room you're in.
When you're ready,
If you've not already done so,
Go ahead and open your eyes.
