Sit tall and lengthen your spine. Notice if you feel tired or energised without the need to change anything.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, pause at the top and then allow a long exhale out through the nose.
Your mind will drift but try to stay focused on the experience of breathing. Perhaps you notice the sense of the breath coming in and out of the nose or maybe you can tap into the sensation of where you feel the breath in the body, beginning in the belly and rising up into the chest.
Notice any part of the body that feels tense or tight and imagine the breath is moving to that area – soothing, relaxing and helping you let go. Breath by breath, let the body relax.
As the body relaxes, tune into your energy field. Notice the energy of your emotions – they might feel scattered, all spread out or incomplete in some way.
Use each breath to draw in anything that feels scattered.
As your energy gathers use the breath to breathe it in, building energy within you. Keep the body and face relaxed. Enjoy any scattered energy coming back together as you anchor yourself into the present moment.
Stay with this awareness breath by breath and call to mind an image of something you’re grateful for – a loved one, a pet or something you do that brings you joy.
Stay with this image and breathe in and out for a minute or so, visualising that you are breathing in joy and gratitude to the cells in your body.
