Full transcript
Notice the weight of your body where it meets the floor, and rest.
Allow your jaw to soften, and your shoulders to drop, gently.
Feel the sensation of your feet touching the floor, and the sound already in the room.
Imagine yourself moving through your day with a sense of calm and steady presence.
Notice how this feeling of calm presence is already a part of you, and allow it to emerge naturally.
As you sit in stillness, allow yourself to feel more, without falling in or pushing away.
When you notice yourself feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take a deep breath in, and then exhale slowly.
Let your body relax, and release any tension, and then take a slow, gentle sigh.
And when you're ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a moment to notice your surroundings.
