In this stillness you might begin by sweeping through the body with your awareness and noticing

if there's any areas of obvious tension or tightness.

Make some moments to see what might want to let go a little.

With the mindful awareness sweeping more slowly through the body, you might soften your

eyes and sensing that you can smile into your eyes, letting the outer corners be lifted

a bit, let the brow be smooth and feel the sensations of a liveness that come into awareness

as you relax that region.

In a similar way you can bring a slight smile to the mouth, let the inside of the mouth smile.

Let's see if you can relax your tongue, feel down to the root of the tongue relaxing.

And notice the sensations that come alive in the lips, tongue, tongue, teeth, as you relax that area.

Let yourself be aware of the sensations and the scalp and skull of the back of the head.

And the neck might sense the throat filling the neck, allowing the shoulders to relax back and down.

Let the awareness fill the shoulders, you can feel from the inside out the movement of energy,

the aliveness that's there.

Let the awareness spread down the arms, you can feel the energy that flows in and out of the hands,

and softening the hands.

Let's see if you can soften again and feel from the inside out the aliveness that becomes available as you soften.

You might feel the aliveness inside the thumbs, the space and aliveness inside the thumbs,

the aliveness inside the forefinger, the space and aliveness there.

And can you feel the aliveness and space in the bones and flesh of those fingers and between those fingers?
