You can sit on the ground with your legs out straight and your back leaning against something. Or you can sit in your chair, with your legs long, your feet flat on the floor while you lean against the back of your chair. Get comfortable. We’re going turn on the energy in our bodies. And then we’re going to be turning it off. Let’s begin with your toes. Wiggle your toes to wake them up. Ready? Tighten your toes, like you’re making a fist with them. Try to only turn on the power in your toes, and let all other areas of your body rest. Breathe in while they are tight. And then when you breathe out, turn the energy off. Let your toes rest. Again. Breathe in and turn the energy on in your toes...just your toes. Breathe out to turn it off and let the tightness go. Let’s give your legs a chance. Turn on the energy in your legs, straighten them if that helps. Make tight, tense muscles. Now breathe in to add even more energy. Exhale and let go. Legs go soft. Power goes off. Let’s do one more round with legs. Ready? Start breathing in, turn the energy on, legs are working hard, tight, tense. Then turn that energy off, breathe out, relax , soften those muscles. You’re in control. Now your hands. Make fists and inhale as you turn your energy on, and then let’s exhale and rest. Turn it all off. Add your arms this time. They can be straight or bent. Make fists, arms get tight, energy ON, breathe in. Breathe out and let go. Energy OFF. Arms and hands one more time. Turn it on with an in breath, and turn it off with an outbreath. And finally, we’re going to try the whole body. If you want, add your face muscles too - crinkle up your eyes, your lips, your cheeks. Ready? Breathe in and turn on your whole body’s energy...toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, face. Feel the energy in your body. It’s ON! And now turn it all off while you breathe out slowly. Relax. The energy’s off. See if you can stay still, just for a little. Energy’s off. Notice how you might feel different in your body, now that you’ve practiced being in control of your very own on and off switch.
