Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Allow your body to settle into this space. Gently close your eyes, or soften your gaze.
Begin by bringing your awareness to your breath. Simply notice it, without trying to change it in any way. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest, or your abdomen.
As you breathe in, imagine you are drawing in calm, peaceful energy. And as you breathe out, imagine you are releasing any tension or worries from your day.
Let's focus on the breath for a few moments. Inhale deeply, filling your lungs. Hold it for just a moment. And then exhale slowly, letting go.
Again, inhale, drawing in a sense of spaciousness. Exhale, releasing any tightness you might be holding in your shoulders or jaw.
Continue this natural rhythm, breathing in peace, breathing out stress. With each exhale, feel a little more of the day's worries begin to drift away.
Now, bring your attention to your body. Notice any areas where you might be holding on to tension. Perhaps your forehead, your neck, your back.
As you exhale, imagine sending a wave of relaxation to these areas. With each breath out, feel the muscles soften, the tightness ease.
If you find your mind wandering, that is perfectly normal. Gently acknowledge the thought, and then guide your attention back to your breath. There is no need to judge, simply return.
Imagine a gentle, warm light flowing through your body with each inhale. This light is pure relaxation, pure calm.
As you exhale, this light expands, carrying away any remaining stress. Visualize the light washing over you, soothing every cell.
Feel your muscles relax. Feel your breath deepen. Feel your mind quiet.
Allow yourself to sink deeper into a state of ease. You are safe, you are at peace.
Let go of any expectations. Let go of any to-do lists. For these few minutes, your only task is to be present with yourself, and to breathe.
Feel the weight of the day begin to lift from your shoulders. You are shedding the layers of stress, one breath at a time.
Inhale deeply. Exhale completely. You are releasing. You are letting go.
As we prepare to gently return, take a moment to appreciate this feeling of calm. Carry this sense of peace with you as you move back into your day.
Begin to notice the sensations in your body again. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Gently deepen your breath.
When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes, bringing this renewed sense of calm and stillness with you.
