How were you supported?Recall where you supported others. How did you offer support? How did it feelto be supported or offer support? Extend gratitude to something in your daythat you are thankful for. Extend gratitude to yourself for giving yourselfpermission to reflect and rest. Find a deep breath in, filling up your bellywith breath, feeling front and back ribs expand. Deep breath out, feeling yourbelly draw slightly in, ribs return to center. Soften through your chest andback, belly and hips, shoulders and face, hands and fingers, feet and toes.Imagine gathering the activities of your day into your hands. Feel the heavinessor lightness of today’s events. However heavy or light, find a deep breath in,imagine passing today’s events from your hands to a large, puffy cloud that descendsfrom the sky, wraps round your hands, and carries away today’s cares, allowingyou lightness and rest in this moment. Let go. Breathe. Enter into the next phaseof your day with a greater sense of freedom and ease. Thank you for meditatingwith me. Peace. Written + Performed by: Jessica Haessly
