-----
Let us relax into a position that feels comfortable for us - a safe environment and space where we can truly rest. It might be lying on a bed, on a mat, on cushions, or reclining in a chair. Whatever position we choose, let it be one that supports ease and stability for the next 13 minutes of deep relaxation.
We bring our attention gently to the posture and to the breath. This is all that is needed: awareness of the body, awareness of the breath, and a heart that is present in whatever form that may take.

Gently bring movement back to your body. Carry this calm and spaciousness with you into the rest of your day.
