Welcome to this meditation for healing mind and body.
I invite you to close your eyes if you are comfortable doing so.
And bring your awareness to your breath.
A slow,
Steady breath that is comfortable for you.
In times of discomfort,
We can find ourselves clenching our muscles without even realising.
Stress activates our sympathetic nervous system,
Releasing adrenaline and cortisol.
One of our reactions to this is to tighten up our muscles in preparation for fight or flight.
So let's spend a few moments being aware of our breath.
And allow our body to gently soften.
So take some slow,
Deep breaths.
Being mindful of what is comfortable for you.
Do not strain or force.
Inhale through the nose.
Allowing your stomach to slowly rise.
Then exhale slowly.
Just repeat this a few times,
Inhaling through the nose.
Feeling the stomach rise.
And then a gentle exhale.
A deep inhale through the nose.
And a slow,
Gentle exhale.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Allowing your stomach to soften.
You are telling your nervous system that it is okay to relax.
You are safe.
Continue being aware of your breath.
Just breathing now in your own natural way.
Finding a rhythm that is comfortable for you.
If you notice any soreness or any tightness.
Acknowledge it.
Do not fight it.
And gently bring your awareness back to your breath.
Nice and steady.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
.
.
Breathing out.
Breathing in calm.
Breathing out discomfort.
You Let your shoulders drop away from your ears.
And clench your teeth.
Soften your jewel.
You are safe to relax.
Let go of all that tension you have been holding on to.
With each inhale you feel calmer.
With each exhale,
You feel softer.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in calm.
Breathing out discomfort.
Your body is amazing.
It knows how to heal.
Just trust the process.
Bring your awareness to your chest.
And if you're able to,
Place your hand over your heart space.
Imagine a warm light glowing there.
With each intake of breath the light glows brighter.
Feel the light begin to spread across your chest.
Bringing a comforting,
Soothing warmth.
The light continues to spread over your shoulders.
Soothing you.
As it travels down your arms.
Over your elbows.
And into each hand.
Flowing into your fingers.
The warm glow helps to ease any stiffness and tightness you may have.
The light continues to glow.
Radiating heat that you can feel washing over your stomach.
And flowing into your back.
Over your hips.
And down your legs into your feet.
Soothing any aches and pains.
You begin to feel the glowing light.
At the top of your head.
And as you breathe in,
The light gently cascades down over your head.
Touching your forehead.
Your temples.
Spreading over your eyes.
Your nose.
Your mouth.
And flowing down your neck.
Your entire head is cradled in the warm,
Glowing light.
Soothing away tension.
Bringing peace and stillness.
As you continue breathing in and out.
You feel the light expanding even further.
Spreading throughout your body.
And gently washing over each and every one of your cells.
You say to yourself.
Thank you to my cells for releasing all that is not serving me well.
Thank you to my cells for rejecting all that is causing me harm.
My mind is strong.
And my body is healing.
You you you you are awash with the warmth of the healing light.
You feel the softness throughout your body.
And as this meditation comes to an end.
.
.
You will carry peace and healing with you.
You Thanks for watching!
Take a final deep breath in.
And slowly exhale.
And when you're ready to do so.
Gently open your eyes.
Peace be with you.
