Take a Few Moments to Relax

Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Take several gentle,easy breaths. Allow your shoulders, neck, and back to relax and let go. Feel a wave of relaxation flow through your body. Continue breathing gently and consciously. While you are in that quiet state, visualize having something you want, say a prayer of gratitude, or ask your Inner Wisdom for guidance. Then when you feel complete, breathe more deeply, stretch, open your eyes, and slowly start your activities.

When you give yourself the gift of experiencing a few minutes of quiet every day, you give your body and mind precious moments to relax, rev up your immune system, gain access to the wisdom within, stimulate creativity, feel a connection to Source, and open your heart. The benefits of those few minutes are enormous!
