I'm gonna fill both the stomach and the chest cavity, hold it for a slow count of eight, and then exhale slowly for a slow count of eight.

I'm gonna do that three times, then we'll go ahead and get into the meditation.

As you continue to breathe, be mindful of any tension that might reside between your ears today.

Relax the forehead and your cheeks.

Relax your jaw.

Relax down through the neck, over your shoulders.
