Take some moments to make yourself comfortable, finding that kind of a posture that is relaxed

and also awake.

We begin in a simple way of breathing together.

I invite you to take a nice, full deep in breath, filling the chest and the lungs and a slow out breath.

And with that out breath, really sense a letting go.

And again, a nice deep in breath.

And a slow, smooth out breath letting go, letting go.

And again, breathing in fully, breathing in deeply.

Sensing with the out breath now that you can soften down the length of your body letting go, letting go.

And allowing the breath to resume in its natural rhythm.

Sensing the possibility as the breath comes in of opening to receive.

Even in a cellular way, like a balloon filling up, opening to receive.

And with the out breath, just that relaxing, the releasing.

You may continue to feel the breath and this receptivity and this releasing

as you gently scan through the body now.

Beginning with the area of the brow, the eyes, softening your eyes, letting the brow be smooth.

Sensing with each out breath that you can release any tightness or tension that might be there.

Letting the jaw be relaxed, slight smile at the mouth, releasing any tightness or tension in the area of the mouth.

Letting all the little micro muscles in the face settle, relax.

You might feel the scalp and the skull.
