Let’s begin by consciously turning off the body,

and when you’re ready, allow your eyes to slowly close like the sun sets.

Calmly, bring your awareness to rest with this verse and prayer.

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

And again, He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

Now bring your attention to the way the body feels.

Notice your breath.

Allow the inhales to expand the body.

Notice how the exhales make you feel.

Feel the body relax and become heavier.

Relax the corners of the eyes.

Soften the forehead down the front of the face.

Allow the neck to relax. and the shoulders to fall away from the ears.

Relax the temples.

Feel the weight of the body, so the arms become heavy,

the legs are becoming heavy.

Feel the bones become heavy,

letting the breath become natural.

Allow the whole body to soften and release.

Notice how good it feels. Just to breathe.

Allow your breath to make the body feel heavy.

Let the body relax a little more into your bed.

And on your next inhale, begin to count the breath.

One on the inhale,

and two on the exhale.

Three. On the next inhale

and four on the next exhale,

counting up to 10 and then starting over again.

If you lose track of the breath, it’s okay. Just start over again, counting from one.

There’s nowhere to go, nowhere to be. We’re just here, counting the breath.

On the next exhale, allow the breath to relax and become natural.
