Guided breathing practice to allow presence:
I breathe in, I allow the breath to permeate my body.
I breathe out, I allow the breath to go from this body.
I breathe in, I allow thoughts to slow down and stop.
I breathe out, I allow an open space to fill my mind.
I breathe in, I allow light to fill my being.
I breathe out, I allow light to filter into the space around me.
Repeat until you have surrendered to a quiet mind and relaxed body.
