In the stillness, let your attention gently come to the inflow and outflow of the breath.

Extending the in-breath is full and deep.

You can feel yourself filling the chest and the lungs.

And then a slow out breath.

Slow enough so you can feel the sensations of releasing the breath.

And again, a long deep in-breath taking your time.

You might count to five slowly as you breathe in.

And matching the length of the in-breath with the out-breath, slow, conscious, letting go,

letting go.

Breathing in long and slow and deep.

And breathing out slowly releasing, letting go, letting go.

And again, a nice full deep in-breath.

And a slow out-breath.

Continuing equal part in-breath and out-breath long and slow.

Continuing the slow breath, you might sense the possibility as you breathe of having

a slight smile at the mouth, letting the inside of the mouth smile.

Continuing the same breath, slight smile.

You might sense the eyes can soften.

The outer corners of the eyes lift a bit so the eyes are smiling too.

Continuing with this breathing, you might sense that you can smile into the heart.
