As you breathe in, notice any tension held in your body. As you breathe out, relax whateveryou can from the crown of your head to your fingers and toes.Bring your attention to your head, neck, and face. First, become aware of your cervicalspine, the upper part of your spine that runs along the back of your neck up tothe base of your skull. Observe any tension or ease along your neck musclesfrom the muscles that run along either side of your spine to your throatmuscles. Bring attention to your jaw, following the line of your jaw from yourchin to each of your ears. In this moment, notice what you hear—traffic orwind, the hum of appliances, my voice, your breathing. Bring attention to yourlower lip, upper lip, lower set of teeth, upper set of teeth, your gums, yourtongue. Bring attention to any taste on your tongue—bitter, sour, salty, sweet.Direct your awareness to your nostrils, the tip of your nose, the bridge ofyour nose. As you breathe in, notice what you smell. What aromas arrive? Noticeany sensation along your eyelids, eyes, tear ducts. Eyes closed or open, noticewhat you see—colors, shapes, motion, stillness. Bring attention to the back ofyour head, any hair draped over your head. Observe the sensation along anyexposed skin where your hair falls. Become aware of the top or crown of yourhead. As you allow yourself to notice the sensations present from your head, neck, andface, invite loving acceptance to whatever you experience. As you invite acceptanceto your sensory experience, notice what, if anything, changes whether in your sensory,mental, or emotional experience. Enjoy a deep breath in, deep breath out. In this moment, if you can, invite a smile to your face, finding full acceptance ofyour senses and an increased sensitivity to your sensory experience as you restor move through your day.
