Hello and welcome to this meditation. This meditation is for de-stressing. So wherever you are, Maybe you're at work and using this on a break, Maybe you just woke up, Maybe you're about to go to bed, I want you to find a space that you can be alone and be comfortable. Maybe you're sitting up, You're also welcome to lie down. Wherever you are, Go ahead and close your eyes. During this meditation, I want you to allow yourself to de-stress and let go of anything that's not serving you in the moment. I want you to let go of anything that's happened in the past, Maybe it's been in the day, The day before, Anything, And I want you to not dwell on what's coming in the future. This can be harder than you think, And that's why I'm going to lead you through. So try and stay with my voice and anchor to your breath. As you're sitting here, Eyes are closed gently. Start to take notice of how you're feeling in your body, So you can take notice of how you feel once we finish. Take notice if your shoulders are creeped up to your ears, Allow them to drop down and release those muscles. Take note if your jaw is clenching, Allow yourself to release all these places that we hold stress in our physical body because of what we might have going on mentally. Notice if your tongue is pressing against the roof of your mouth or the back of your teeth. Allow that muscle to relax and release and let go. As you're sitting here or lying, Begin to relax and let go. When we're being present in the moment, We want to let go of past and future. Those are two places we can't make change. The only place we can make a change and make a difference is present, The present moment. So allow yourself to have this moment and to relax. From here, I want you to release all the air out of your body. Let all of it go, Anything old and stale. Now seal your lips and begin to breathe in through your nose. Breathe in through your nostrils, Feel it going into the back of your throat, Filling up the chest and the belly, Holding at the top. And when you feel ready, Open your mouth and exhale, Let it go. We do that again. Seal your lips, Begin to breathe in through the nose, Filling up through the chest. Take note of how the air feels as it comes in, Fresh and new oxygen, Renewing, Refreshing, Holding. When ready, Open the mouth, Exhale, Let go. Lips are sealed. Coming up tall if you're upright. Breathe in through the nose, Anchor to that breath, But notice how it feels going straight in through the nostrils, All the way up through the back of the throat. Feel the lungs expand, The belly expand, The diaphragm presses down to make space. Once you hold at the top, Try and sip in one more ounce of air. And release, Open the mouth, Let it go. From here, Just breathe normally. Anchor yourself into how your breath is, Take note of how it is now. Maybe in comparison to when you started, Relax, De-stress, Release, Allowing yourself to be in this moment and nowhere else. This is so good for your parasympathetic nervous system to rest and relax. And when you're ready, We'll do one more breath, So release all the air out now. Cleansing and clearing, Making space for new. Breathe in with your lips sealed. Breathe in energy, Breathe in calmness, Breathe in clarity. Hold it at the top. Sip in one more ounce of whatever you need, Feel it coming into your body. And when you're ready, Exhale and release anything old, Anything stale, Anything stressful, Release. If it doesn't serve you, Let it go. Allow your breath to be normal. Take note of where your shoulders are, Are they released down away from your ears? Maybe you stopped clenching your jaw, Is your tongue relaxed in your mouth? These are all things to take note of throughout your day or night when stress creeps in. It takes a toll on us physically. Thank you for joining for this relaxing meditation, Hopefully letting go of stress for these few moments, Making you feel ready and new. Enjoy whatever comes next in your day, Morning, Night. Namaste.
