I'm Alana and I'll be guiding you through this relaxing parasympathetic session. So as you come to a seated position, spine is straight, shoulders are back and down. Just start by feeling the weight of your body in your seat. Inviting a nice stretch of your arms up overhead, be interlacing the fingers and reaching the palms up to the sky. Just inviting a nice long stretch, breathing deeply into the intercostal ribs, inviting this expansion into the body,

lengthening that inhale, lengthening that breath. really reaching maybe leaning over to one side to find a side stretch within that opposite arm grounding that hip finding a long inhaling back up to center reaching the arms nice and tall still fingers interlaced and then leaning over to the other side of the exhale finding length in that side body really reaching breathe into the intercostal ribs, releasing any tension or energy that may have been built up from the day. Now is the time to release the day. Inhaling back up to center, releasing the hands to the side of the body, maybe resting them gently on the legs,

inviting a deep inhale in through the nose, deep into the belly and then opening the mouth and sighing out, releasing that day and in through the nostrils feeling that cool sensation exhale releasing and out the mouth of the sigh good last time in through the nose finding that space exhale sigh out the mouth maybe shaking out the wrists inviting any movement into the body that you may need to just release let go of the day let go of the muscles and just shake. Maybe massaging the earlobes, snapping out any fingers you may need to do,

just any movement to release. Once you're done this, just settling into a space of comfort. Fixing those shoulders, releasing that jaw, settling into the space, surrendering into the presence, and the points of contact with your bed.

Permission to rest and draw. into the sweet stillness of the space. Ready to rest and ground. Recharge. Dropping the eyes now if you haven't done so. Moving it deeper into the belly, up into the chest, just like a wave.

Tung to the roof of your mouth, the tip of the tongue behind your front teeth. dropping the back of your tongue into your throat so you have this slight constriction as you inhale in through the nose drawing this deep breath in constricting that throat and feeling the sense of cool air sensation moving into the belly like a wave up into the ribs feeling that expansion laterally up into the chest like a wave and then releasing it on the exhale, feeling that warm air exiting, jerking that throat, making this audible sigh like a wave, creating this oceanic breath within,

and then subsiding and grounding on the exhale. Beautiful, continuing this vagal toning and subsiding. Maybe imagining this wave, moving with the inhale into the belly up, into the chest and down from the chest, ribs, belly as you exhale. Dropping deeper, surrendering into the ground, feeling the gravitational pull of your body. Feeling supportive, oceanic breath. A couple more here to Basil Breathing now.

Preparing for a hummingbird breath. Inviting some vibrations into our body. You can bring your hands, the piece fingers, to your eyelids as you close them. And then your fourth finger hovering over your nostrils. Just gently dropping your pinky fingers. Relaxing your shoulders here. And as you inhale in through your nose, exhaling and bringing this vibrational sound like a hummingbird into your body. Making sure that your ears are closed with your thumbs, even if you're not.

if you're wearing headphones and just enclosing and encapsulating this vibration from your voice into the rest of your body breathing in through the nose closing the ears closing the eyes and then breathing out with a vibrational sound as you exhale washing yourself in this vibration from your voice beautiful feeling the sense of safety in your vibration Continuing this now, vibrational to your body in space, inviting a deep breath into your vessel, pausing at the top, and the long, controlled, exhale, inhale in through the nose, and controlled exhale out the mouth.
