Our meditation sequences are specially curated for modern minds and involve a unique fusion of various evidence-based techniques. This Senses Awakening meditation is designed to enliven the five senses and connect to the here and now, in addition to the usual stress-busting and productivity-boosting effects that come with Effortless Meditation in general.
The signature of this sequence is a scan through the five senses of the body. Ideal for beginners and advanced meditators alike.
Hello my name is Megan and I'm going to take you through a 10 minute meditation today to help you get centred for the task ahead or for your day ahead or to just bring a quiet moment to your day or just a reminder to silence any notifications on your phone or devices around you and then taking a moment to get yourself really comfortable in your chair just feeling your back supported and then whenever you're feeling ready the invitation is to gently close down your eyes allowing yourself to draw inwards fully arriving in your space and just noticing how you're feeling today and in this moment and just accepting any thoughts or feelings as they are and as best as possible just allowing them to be there and making space for them and letting go of any expectations you may have for this meditation there's nothing here to be achieved I'm just allowing yourself to be here in this moment so I invite you now to tune in to your external landscape just noticing any sounds that are inside your wall just allowing yourself to receive the sounds as they arrive and then expanding your awareness as you receive sounds coming to you from outside your room and then expanding your awareness even further as you receive sounds coming to you from far away and now using your sense of smell just taking any scents or any fragrances in the air around you and noticing if there are any tastes lingering inside your mouth maybe left over from a meal or a snack behind your closed eyelids just noticing what you can see patches of lightness or darkness shapes or patterns and then noticing your body sitting in your chair feeling the sensations where your body makes contact the chair beneath you and on your back behind you noticing the textures of the clothing on your skin noticing how different fabrics create different sensations and noticing the temperature of the air against face or any exposed skin invite you now to take in the senses all at once just experiencing them as they are in this moment releasing your senses as your anger I invite you now to rest your awareness on the sensation of your breath as it enters and leaves your body maybe feeling the air flowing in and out of your nostrils the rise and fall of your chest or your belly just finding the sensation where you most feel sensation of the breath just resting your awareness there you're just an observer to your breath just witnessing it entering and leaving the body without controlling it in any way just whenever you happen to realize your mind has drifted away to thoughts which is very normal just gently returning your awareness to rest on the sensation of your breath I invite you now to deepen your breath just taking in a few deep breaths as you become aware of your body sitting on the chair feeling your feet on the ground becoming aware of your surroundings just taking a moment to notice how you're feeling just noticing if you're feeling a little more calm a little more peaceful invite you to simply set your intentions to carry these feelings with you to the rest of your day just let the last thing be whenever you're ready to open your eyes and thank you for sharing this mini meditation with me today.
