Reading your awareness scan through your body and notice if there's areas of tightness or tension.

Wherever you might feel holding or tightness, sense the possibility of softening, of letting

go a little.

You might pay particular attention to the region of the eyes, letting the brow be smooth,

the eyes soft, relaxing the jaw, slight smile at the mouth, letting the shoulders fall

away from the neck, softening, loosening through the shoulders.

Let the hands rest in a very easy and effortless way, softening the hands and just feeling

the aliveness from the inside out.

Sense an openness to the chest and relax the belly so that this next breath can be received

in a softening belly.

And then this one and again.

Breathing the breath, the natural, very consciously now, lengthen it so that the in-breath is longer

fuller and the out-brother slow.

Continuing in this way, lengthening the in-breath.

And in a matched way, slow out-breath.

Long deep in breath.

Slow out-breath.

Feeling with the in-flow and out-flow, long and deep.

The same length.

You might slowly count to four with the in-breath.
