Breathing in I am aware that I am breathing in.
Breathing out I am aware that I am breathing out.
Breathing in, breathing out.
Breathing in I am aware of the 37 trillion cells of my body.
Breathing out I smile to the 37 trillion cells of my body.
Aware of body, smiling.
Breathing in the 37 trillion cells of my body are relaxing.
Breathing out the 37 trillion cells of my body are relaxed.
Relaxing, relaxed
Breathing in the 37 trillion cells of my body are resting.
Breathing out the 37 trillion cells of my body are rested.
Resting, rested
Breathing in the 37 trillion cells of my body are healing.
Breathing out 37 trillion cells of my body are healed.
Healing, healed.
Breathing in the 37 trillion cells of my body are sleeping.
Breathing out the 37 trillion cells of my body are asleep.
Sleeping, asleep.
Breathing in the 37 trillion cells of my body are one with the universe.
Breathing out the 37 trillion cells of my body are home.
One with the universe, home.
