This meditation is called relaxing back pathway to peace.

We begin in a simple way by feeling this body sitting here breathing.

Now extending the in breath to account of five, inhaling and filling the chest and the

lungs and a slow out breath as you release feel a kind of letting go letting go letting

go and inhale again a nice long deep in breath and a slow smooth out breath relaxing outward

releasing tension tightness letting go and again inhaling deeply filling the chest and

lungs exhaling feeling the sensations of the breath as it leaves the nostrils relaxing

outward letting go and then allowing the breath to resume and its natural rhythm notice

the quality of presence that's here let your senses be awake so you're listening to

and feeling the life within and around you awakening an embodied presence as we gently

scan through the body with awareness bringing the attention to the area of the brow and

the eyes softening the eyes and you might allow that smile to spread through the eyes lifting

the outer corners letting the eyes be soft letting the brow be smooth with a receptive presence

feeling the aliveness the sensations in that region of the face slight smile at the mouth

inside of the mouth smiling letting the tongue fill the lower palate and now relaxing down to

the root of the tongue and with a receptive presence feeling the aliveness inside the mouth the

gums the teeth the tongue lips letting that receptive presence spreads you can feel the

aliveness through the whole face tingling vibrating scalp and skull down through the neck might

bring that image of a smile the curve of a smile and the felt sense of a smile to the throat and

sensing how that can open up space you can actually feel what's here in the throat
