My name is Corianne O'Shea and this meditation is brought to you by Gypsy Jasmine Wellness.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable space,
Either sitting or lying down.
Setting yourself up for comfort so you're able to follow this short body scan meditation.
This meditation will allow you to release any tension and just bring awareness to your body.
Closing down the eyes,
Really softening your gaze.
Start to find a connection with your breath,
Breathing in and out the nose.
As you continue riding the waves of your breath,
Maybe taking a moment here to set an intention to focus on in your body without any judgment.
We'll take a few deep cleansing breaths here,
This time take a deep breath in.
On your exhale,
Sigh it out the mouth,
Let it go.
We'll do two more like that,
Inhale.
Exhale,
Release.
One more big breath,
Inhale.
Exhale,
Let it go.
Beginning to bring awareness to the forehead.
Noticing if there's any tension here.
Softening any expression lines.
Awareness now of the eyes,
The jaw and the cheeks.
Allowing them all to soften.
Taking another slow breath in and letting go of any tightness in the face as you exhale.
Bringing attention now to your neck and shoulders,
Allowing them to drop away from the ears.
Feeling any sensations in the arms,
The elbows,
Wrists and hands.
Tension moves to the chest now.
Noticing the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe.
Softening the belly and relaxing the low back.
If you sense any tightness,
Imagine it melting away with every exhale.
Bringing awareness now to the hips and thighs.
Letting them feel heavy and supported.
Relaxing your knees,
Calves,
Ankles and feet.
Feeling a gentle warmth or tingling as you breathe into these spaces.
Bringing awareness now to the whole body.
Picturing your entire body,
Feeling light and at ease.
Taking one more deep,
Nourishing breath in.
And exhaling completely,
Let everything go.
Taking a moment to notice how you feel.
Relaxed,
Grounded and present.
Gently opening your eyes whenever you're ready.
Namaste.
