1. Prepare for the session in a room that can be closed or in a quiet and quiet place. Add mats and cushions if you have them available.
2. Explain to each young person that they should make themselves comfortable and allow themselves to be guided throughout the session.                                                                       
3. Play the music in the background. 

Everyone lies down comfortably with their eyes closed. After a few minutes of background music to aid relaxation, place your hands on your stomach and focus on your breathing.

Breathe in the cold air through your nose, feel it fill your lungs and stomach, causing it to inflate and rise. Then exhale the hot air through your mouth.

Put your hands on the floor and focus on your breathing. Take five breaths, paying attention to each inhale and exhale. 

Imagine yourself in a place you know and feel good in, it can be indoors or outdoors. You hear the sounds around you; you feel your body relax on the grass, sand, or whatever... If you hear outside noises around you, you welcome them by focusing on your breathing.

You feel good in this place that you know. You are at peace.

You continue to breathe deeply. 

You feel your head sinking lower and lower. You're grateful for your brain, which allows you to think, and your intelligence. 

You feel all the muscles in your face relax, your jaw, your eyes... you're grateful for each of your senses, the ears that allow you to hear and listen, the eyes that allow you to see and admire so many things, for the taste, the smell, the skin that allows you to feel.

You feel your neck relax. Your shoulders sink into the ground. You are grateful for your shoulders, which allow you to feel. You feel your arms relax down to your hands and the tips of your fingers. You are grateful for your arms, which allow you to carry, to hold, to do cartwheels. Your hands are useful for so many things. 

You continue to breathe deeply and feel your lungs expanding, bringing life into you from your first breath at birth. 

You let your whole upper body relax, including your belly. You are grateful for each of the organs that make your body function and allow you to live. 

For women, you are grateful for your female organs, even if they are sometimes painful or uncomfortable. You welcome them and you're grateful that one day you'll be able to let life grow within you. You let everything inside you calm down. 

For men or mixed groups, you are proud of this male body, which you welcome completely with all its qualities and faults, and you are at peace. 

Your back lets go completely on the floor, your legs relax completely on the floor down to your feet and the tips of your toes. And you're grateful to be able to walk, jump and run with your feet, which carry your body all day and move you forward step by step.

You take five more breaths, your belly rising and falling gently. 

You're still in the place you love, feeling good. You're at peace with yourself and you're full of gratitude for this body that has sustained you since you were born.

The air you breathe oxygenates every cell in your body, from top to bottom, and you can feel that your body is regaining energy, that this moment of rest has given it recuperation and vitality. 

You feel full of energy and you start to move your fingertips, your toes, your back, your head... and little by little you feel every part of your body waking up. 

When you're ready, you gently open your eyes and then you can gently sit up, stretch and tap yourself awake.

CONCRETELY 

Each young person can express their feelings, emotions and sensations perceived during the session. 

What did you gain from this exercise? What do you think about it? 

Can it be useful at times when I'm feeling less well or stressed, to give myself a break?

How do I feel about my body? Do I welcome it?

Our daily lives are filled with tasks that we must complete. We live in a hyper-stimulated, hyper-digitalized environment that leaves little room for silence or self-discovery. Often, we are influenced by advertisements or societal norms that we perceive as normal.

However, taking a moment to pause and reconnect with ourselves can help us get to know ourselves better and be grateful for who we are. This is a great way to boost self-confidence!

Good advice: relax and live in the moment!
