Consciously relax all the muscles in the face: the forehead, the muscles around the eyes, around the mouth. Relax the jaws and release the root of the tongue. Bring your awareness to your breath. Slowly and gently invite the breath to lengthen and deepen. Gently pull yourself away from all other space and time and bring yourself to your place on the mat. Sweep together any thoughts in the mind and simply set them aside for now".
