Finding a comfortable place to settle the body.

Allowing yourself to feel supported and rested.

As you close your eyes and start to soften through the face.

And gently start to soften through the body.

Allowing yourself to feel heavy in these moments.

Gently tuning into your natural breath.

Listening gently to the rise and fall of each inhale and each exhale.

Try not to put too much pressure on the breath.

Let go of expectation.

And just continue to breathe nice and softly.

And as you gently start to turn your attention to your body.

Notice a softening through your joints.

A softening through your muscles.

A gentle feeling of rest and of ease.

As you begin to settle,

Start to relax.

And as you pay attention to the body,

Begin to scan through.

Turning your toes to the forehead.

Offering softness,

Warmth and comfort through the body.

Resting your tired body.

And noticing anything that's coming up in these moments.

Continue your awareness and you start to tune inward.

Continue to scan through the body.

Continue to offer yourself softness here.

And rest.

And as you allow these moments for rest and release through the body.

Become mindful of that soft natural breath once again.

And as you decide to lengthen the breath slightly.

Lengthen the inhale,

Lengthen the exhale.

And as you decide to lengthen this breath.

And as you begin to imagine with each one of your exhale breaths.

You can release and let go of something you no longer want to hold on to.

You can let go of stress and tension through the body.

And just imagine for a moment how that would feel.

Continue to let go with your exhale of unnecessary stresses.

Of physical tension throughout the body.

Of any kind of pain and suffering through the mind.

And know that you may pick these back up at the end.

But for now let them fade.

Let go.

And relax.

And as you continue to let the body sink.

Decide to tune into any areas in the body that are calling out for a little more tension.

Any areas in the body that need more softening.

Maybe these areas are the same every time.

Maybe these are your tension areas.

But just be mindful of anything the body is trying to tell you.

And as you remain mindful.

Start to visualise your rested body.

The softening of your face.

The softening of the shoulders as they melt into the floor.

The softening of the arms as they melt beside you.

Connect with the softening through the chest into the belly.

As the breath just rises and falls here.

Be mindful of the softening through the hips and down the legs.

Allow the legs to feel heavy.

Let them sink.

Softening through the ankles and the feet.

Letting the body go.

Relaxing.

And as you remain in this soft space.

Gently imagine a soft warmth swirling around the body.

And providing even more comfort for you to rest in.

Maybe feel this warmth on the face.

Through the joints.

Just stay in this warmth for a moment.

As you relax a little deeper.

As you rest your muscles.

Rest your joints.

And keep your breath so,

So soft.

Maybe you've begun to float away.

Maybe you've started to follow a certain thought.

Try to gently bring yourself back to these moments of relaxation.

Bring yourself back to these moments of rest in the body.

Once again listening to your soft breath.

With no pressure or expectation here.

Just listening to the natural breath flow through the body.

And once again allow yourself to let go of any stresses.

Let go of any tensions you no longer want to hold on to.

With each of your exhale breaths.

Let it go.

A gentle soft warmth starts to completely fill the body now.

The body feels heavy.

Physical body feels relaxed.

Mentally repeating to yourself.

I am relaxed.

My body is relaxed.

My mind is at ease.

My breath is relaxed.

Soften and release.

Soften and relax.

And as you remain the softness.

As you float between your thoughts.

As you gently guide yourself back to these moments.

Again and again.

Begin to pay deeper attention to your physical body.

Any sensations that are coming up.

Attention to where feels good right now.

Where feels strong.

Where feels relaxed.

Take a mental scan through the body.

And ask yourself a few questions.

How do you feel?

Are you comfortable?

Are you relaxed?

And after answering a few of your own questions.

Decide to pay all your attention to your breath.

Once again listening to a long inhale through the nose.

And slowly exhale through the mouth releasing so gently.

And continue to find a few of these longer more controlled breaths.

As you remain in softness.

Don't put any pressure on yourself here or expectation.

Just bring your focus to these longer more controlled breaths.

Inhaling through the nose.

And so softly exhaling through the mouth.

And whilst you're breathing just noticing what's coming up.

Noticing everything that's happening in these moments right now.

Continuing those strong slow breaths.

And as you scan through the body one more time.

Feeling a warmth start to fill your feet.

Notice that warmth fill your legs swirl around your knees and your hips.

Feel that warmth in the belly.

Feel that warmth soften your chest.

Feel that warmth fall down the arms into the hands and the fingertips.

A gradual warmth builds through the neck and the head.

And finally reaches the face.

You're able to soften even deeper now in this warmth.

Let it swirl around your body let it blanket your body feel supported and comforted here by this warmth.

Your natural breath keeps you guided.

As you so so softly start to just think about your physical body about the muscles.

About anywhere in the body that you feel like you need to move just think about it for now.

Imagine how that movement is going to feel.

Just imagine where you want to move first.

And then as slowly as you need to start to welcome that mindful movement through the fingertips or the toes.

Welcome that mindful movement through the face muscles.

Just listen to yourself for a moment as you just start to wake yourself up with soft slow mindful movement.

And enjoy this movement the simplicity of this movement.

How does it make you feel?

Is the warmth starting to build?

Keeping the eyes closed and the face soft.

When you're happy to extend the arms over your head and start to ask for length now from fingertips to toes encouraging a real nice warmth through the body.

And after a stretch here a little wiggle maybe.

Placing your hands gently onto your body.

Feel the breath through the belly through the chest.

On a few final long full breaths here.

Noticing how the body feels in these moments.

And as you continue a few long full breaths maybe a few breaths turn into big sighs through the mouth.

Start to flicker the eyes open.

Maybe some movement in the face is necessary.

Stay in this moment for as long as you need.

Allowing the breath to stay soft and slow.

The body to remain soft and comfortable.
