Take some moments as you settle in to just feel that you can let go, let go of anything that wants to be more at ease through

your body. Just scan and relax some. Your eyes might be closed or downcast.

Take some moments to grounds yourself.

Just feel the weight of your body on this earth.

The experience of gravity, of belonging to this earth.

Sense a kind of safety.

Some find it's helpful to imagine yourself as a mountain

with that stability and strength.

Surrounded by sky,

there's room for the different weather systems that flow through.

As you feel yourself in this safe and stable position, becoming aware of the movement of your

breath.

You might extend the breath, taking a nice, long, deep in-breath to the count of five.

In an out breath, matched counting to five.

And again, breathing in, filling the chest and the lungs.

Slow out breath, releasing, relaxing outward.

And once again, inhaling deeply.

Slow, smooth out breath, softening down the length of your body, letting go, letting go.

And then as your breath comes back into its natural rhythm, feeling the sense of presence

that's right here.
