Welcome to this session designed to tell your body you can rest now.
Find a comfortable position that you can stay without effort.
Let every surface that can be in contact with something be in contact with it.
Your back,
Your legs,
Your arms.
Let your hands open,
Palms facing up,
If that feels natural.
Let your eyes close.
The part of you that has been keeping guard,
It has been working very hard.
And you can take a break.
Your only job is to follow my voice?
Let your jaw soften first.
Just a millimeter of release.
You're a dung.
Let it drop away from the roof of your mouth.
The back of your throats,
Softening there too.
Your neck.
Let your head feel heavy.
Your shoulders,
In your hands.
Let them be completely still.
The scanning can stop.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Take one slow breath in through your nose.
And breathe out through your mouth.
Is low.
Longer than the breath in.
Again in out,
Slow.
Just let the exhale be longer than the inhale.
Game.
Out is long,
Longer than the inhale.
Game.
Out.
Let your breath go now.
For the next minutes.
There is nothing to figure out.
There is nothing to solve.
Nothing to be ready for.
Just a biologist speaking to your nervous system.
Nothing needs your attention.
I will bring you back when the time for the deep rest is complete.
And begin to come back.
Remove your fingers and toes.
If your eyes feel ready.
Let them open.
Don't scan the room.
Let the room come to you.
Notice what is different.
That's not the session working on you.
That's your nervous system remembering what it feels like to not be on guard.
Stay calm,
You've got this.
