Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Gently close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely.
And exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension you might be holding.
Once more, inhale deeply, drawing in calm and peace.
And exhale, letting go of the day's stresses.
Bring your awareness to your breath. Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest or abdomen. There is no need to change your breathing, simply observe it.
Feel the cool air entering your nostrils on the inhale.
And the warmer air leaving on the exhale.
Allow your breath to become your anchor, connecting you to this present moment.
Now, bring your attention to your body. Starting with your feet, notice any sensations there. Perhaps you feel the contact with the floor or the ground beneath you.
Gently allow any tension in your feet to soften and release.
Move your awareness up to your ankles and calves. Notice if there is any tightness. With each exhale, imagine that tightness dissolving.
Continue this mindful scan up through your knees and thighs. Allow your legs to feel heavy and supported, releasing any holding.
Bring your attention to your hips and lower back. This is often an area where we store stress. On your next exhale, consciously let go of any tension in this area. Feel it melting away.
Now, focus on your abdomen. Notice the gentle movement with each breath. Allow your belly to be soft and relaxed.
Move your awareness up to your chest and shoulders. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Release any tightness you may be carrying here.
Feel your arms becoming heavy, from your shoulders all the way down to your fingertips. Let go of any striving or effort.
Bring your attention to your neck and throat. Soften any tension in your jaw. Allow your tongue to rest gently in your mouth.
Now, bring your awareness to your face. Soften the muscles around your eyes. Relax your forehead. Imagine a smooth, calm surface across your entire face.
You are letting go of the day. Imagine all the worries, the tasks, the to-do lists, the concerns, as leaves floating down a gentle stream.
Watch them drift away, one by one, carried by the current. You do not need to hold onto them.
With each exhale, you release more and more. You are creating space within yourself for peace and quiet.
Feel a sense of lightness and ease settling over you. You are present, calm, and deeply relaxed.
Carry this feeling of tranquility with you as you gently begin to deepen your breath.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, bringing this peaceful awareness back into your day.
