Go ahead and bring your attention onto your breath,

Breathing in through your nose and out through your nose. 

Just recognizing the cool air as it comes in,

And the warm air as it comes out. 

And let each breath expand just a little bit more.  

Inhaling just a little longer. 

Exhaling just a little bit more.  

PAUSE…

Now go ahead and take one big, deep breath in, 

Allowing the inbreath to come into the lungs and expand your belly. 

And when you can’t breathe in anymore, go ahead and release on the exhale,

Letting all that air out. 

Bring your breathing back to its normal rhythm,

And let your body relax just a little deeper into its position. 

PAUSE…

Now I want you to imagine for a second that you’re standing outside of yourself.

Looking at the position you’re in right now. 

Just observing yourself. 

Noticing how relaxed you look.

And I want you to imagine in your mind that you see yourself raise your hand in front of you,

Reaching your hand out, as if you’re holding something in it. 

Now I want you to think about anything that might be happening in your life that you’re trying to control.

That you’re trying to manage.

That you’re trying to make perfect.

And you feel the struggle. 

You’re feeling the pain and tension of that control. 

I want you to see each of these things as if they’re little marbles that get placed in your hand,

One by one, being placed in your hand. 

Maybe it’s your schedule and the regularity of your time. 

Maybe it’s the general happenings in the world right now that you so wish were not there. 

Maybe it’s someone’s behavior or attitude that you’re trying to change.

Maybe it’s your work,

The amount of work you get done, the amount of money coming in. 

Whatever those things are, 

Just identify them.  

Identify each one as a little marble. 

And watch it get placed into your outstretched hand . 

PAUSE…
