BODY WISDOM PRACTICES

Relaxation Preparation for All Experiential Exercises

Note: If you have a preferred way to relax or meditate, use your established practices as preparation for the following Experiential Exercises.

Step 1. Choose a time and place where you are free to relax and feel undisturbed for at least 20 minutes. Read through the steps for an experiential exercise before beginning.

Step 2. Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight. Let your eyes close, and allow your body to become relaxed and quiet. Let your mind become peaceful and tranquil.

Step 3. With each inhalation and exhalation, imagine that you are breathing in health and well-being and breathing out tensions, doubts, and self-judgments.

Step 4. Consider smiling ever so slightly—not a big toothy grin but a half smile—so not to take yourself too seriously.

Step 5. Once your body relaxes and mental chatter and emotions quiet down, allow your awareness to expand naturally. Give yourself at least 5 minutes to rest in your expanded awareness.
