Find a comfortable position either sitting up in a chair or lying down on your back on the floor or on a bed.

Take a moment to get comfortable. Become aware of your body. You may want to stretch

different parts of your body, your arms, your legs, your neck, or your back, just to heighten your awareness of your entire body.

And as you do begin to take longer and slower breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly through your mouth.

And continue this long, slow rhythmic breathing.

Take some moments to focus on

and appreciate your body, starting with the air coming in and out of your lungs,

bringing you life energy.

Notice that your lungs go on breathing,

even when you're not aware of them.

Breathing in and out all day long and through the night, even when you sleep.

Breathing in oxygen,

breathing in fresh pure air, breathing out the waste products, cleansing and

restoring the entire body in a constant inflow and outflow of air, like the ocean, like the

tide coming in and going out.

With this knowledge, imagine that you're now sending a beautiful and radiant white light filled with love and

gratitude to your lungs as you do, realize that ever since you took your first breath, your lungs have been

there for you, no matter what you do they still keep breathing in and out all day.

And now become aware of your diaphragm, that muscle below your lungs that goes up and down

and continually allows your lungs to breathe.

And send light and love and gratitude

to your diaphragm.
