Here is a gentle mantra that Ian led us in - unusual for us but very well-received., Finding a posture that is comfortable and sends the message to your mind/body that this is your time. Breathe gently and compassionately...feeling the breath in the body, then gently saying to yourself:
Here I am Softening Opening Releasing Letting go Letting be Being at ease with myself.
If you liked that one, you could try this mantra, also devised by Ian:
Breathing in ...I AM here!= (Statement or affirmation) Breathing in... I am here= (ownership) Breathing in...my mind is calming Breathing in...my mind is clearing Breathing in...my body is relaxing Breathing in...my mind is calm Breathing in...my mind is clear Breathing in...my body is relaxed Breathing in...calm mind Breathing in...clear mind Breathing in...relaxed body
