As I breathe deeply, my breathing slows and deepens

As I breathe deeply, I let my mind rest and relax

As I breathe deeply, I invite my body to settle in comfortably

I welcome this experience, exactly as it arrives, with each new breath

I celebrate everything that brought me to this moment

The difficult times, the delightful times, everything in-between

I am grateful for the me that is here now, reading and repeating these words

I am ready to embrace this experience, free from expectation

Allowing it to just be… whatever it wants to be

As I breathe in, I feel my belly expand

As I breathe out, I feel my belly contract

With each breath in, I breathe a little slower

With each breath out, I exhale a little longer

Breathing calms the mind and relaxes the body

And I become aware of where my body feels good

Where in my body feels warm, relaxed, comfortable

If I need to adjust, I can adjust

If I need to move, I can move

But I can also be still

And enjoy the feeling of stillness

My mind will wander, because that’s what minds do

And I welcome each new thought

As it shows me something new

Wherever my mind takes me, I know it’s right for me

And whenever I want to slow my mind down

I can return to my breathing and my body

Breathing long and slow, slow and deep

Relaxing back into the stillness of this moment

I welcome this experience

And am grateful to myself

For giving me this time

To relax, to rest, to recover

To be with my own thoughts

And see what’s on my mind

Thoughts will continue to come and go

They will pass by likes leaves floating down a stream

Like clouds blowing by in a wide open blue sky

I am not my thoughts—I am me

But I welcome each new thought, and the next

With wonder, gratitude, and curiosity

As I slow my breath, relax my mind

And float down my own stream of consciousness

I know that in the end, I will arrive

Exactly where I need to be

And that in many ways

I have already arrived
