Lyrics

Alright, I hope that you're lying down in your bed

You can rest your head on the pillow

You can roll from side to side if you want

Or just fall back on your back

Let your eyes open or close, whatever feels good

We're gonna start with a big breath in through our nose

And a long, slow breath out

Try to make it as long as you can

You might still have wiggles in you from the day

You might be thinking about things that happened today

Or things that you want to do later or tomorrow

And that's okay

Now put your hands on your belly

And when you breathe in

See if you can feel your hands rise up with your belly

And again, breathe out slow

See how long you can breathe out for

Now open your eyes wide

And open your mouth wide

And stretch wide with your face

Stretch your jaw and let that relax

Now try squinching your face up into a little ball

Press your lips, squeeze your eyes closed

Feel it all tight — hold it and relax your face

Feel that tingly feeling in your jaw

That's your body relaxing

Now we're gonna do the same thing with our body

We're going to ball our hands into a fist

And your feet into a fist

And your ankles, and your calves, and your shins, and your knees

And your thighs, and your back, and your tummy, and your chest, and your shoulders

And squeeze it! Squeeze it, so tight, so tight, so tight

And relax

Big breath in... and out

Trying to make your out-breath as long as you can

Now see if you can notice

Where your hands touch the mattress

Where your arms and elbows are touching the mattress

Where your back and neck are touching the mattress or your pillows

See if you can feel where the back of your head is touching your pillow

And when your ankles are touching the mattress

All the places where your body is touching the mattress

See if you can feel those places

Now take your hands and put them on your belly

And when you breathe in this time

Feel your belly push your hands and make them rise up towards the sky

And when you breathe out, you'll feel your hands rest down

And do that a few times, breathing in and out

Feeling your belly rise and fall

Feeling your hands rise and fall

And if you're still wiggling about or moving

Still thinking about things, that's okay

Just try to rest your back and your body into the mattress

Watch your hands rise and fall with your belly breath

Now try swallowing

And when you swallow, feel your throat relax

And that swallow is going to relax all the way down into your tummy

Into your hips, through your knees, and into your ankles and your feet

Your eyes fall shut

Your jaw slightly falls open

Your shoulders drop down and sink into the pillow and to the mattress

Your back sinks into the mattress

Your legs sink into the mattress

And you just let everything be

There's no place to go

Nothing to do

What a nice time to just listen to a song

Breathe... and relax

Have a nice rest
