and gently settle in beginning by bringing your awareness to your breath and just noticing how easy it is on your inhale and how steady it is on your exhale and without forcing or controlling just gently invite your exhale to be a moment longer than your inhale. This signals the body that it's safe to rest and to release. Think of your breath as your anchor during this practice. It is the one thing that is consistent that grounds you into presence. So when your mind wants to wander to the future, or to the past, gently guide it back to your breath. Following the moment that you inhale to the completion of your exhale.

Just use these things. numbers as an anchor along with your breath as we move slowly into a state of relaxation releasing any expectation along the way another deep breath in the descending feeling any stress melt away
