Sit in a comfortable position in a place where you will have at least ten minutes without interruption. Uncross your legs, let your feet gently rest on the floor, relax your arms and place your hands comfortably upon your lap. Allow your eyes to close slowly, relax the muscles in your face and begin to focus on your breath.

Breath.

The source of your being.

Exhale.

Let go of carbon dioxide.

Negative energy.

And the upsets that sometimes take your breath away. Breathe.

Take in oxygen.

And nutrients.

And healing love.

Exhale.

Release the part of you that doesn't want to breathe.

That feels stuck in a confined place.

That is afraid to embrace life.

Relax into your breath...

And know that your air flows freely.

Like a gentle, easy breeze.

As you relax with your breath, say to yourself the following affirmations: I am a beautiful person. I deserve health, well-being and love.

I am a kind-hearted person. I deserve ease, gentleness and grace.

I am one with nature, the universe and the divine…

Begin to return your focus to the present place and time. Gently move your body.

As you return to awareness, take three deep cleansing breaths at your own pace and level of comfort.

Allow your breath to return to normal and when you feel ready, open your eyes.
