Tight Pelvic Floor? 10-Min Meditation For Deep Relaxation

A 10-minute somatic pelvic floor meditation, followed by 3 minutes of music for deep rest. The practice includes breath mapping through the pelvic area, a gentle healing visualization, and a closing whole-body awareness practice.

This meditation is for anyone experiencing pelvic floor tension, pelvic discomfort, or wanting to reconnect with this part of the body with more softness and awareness. It may be especially supportive for postpartum mothers, athletes, or anyone navigating pelvic tension or related discomfort.

My own experience with pelvic floor tension is part of what inspired this meditation. I’m sharing it for anyone else moving through something similar, in the hope that it offers a little more space, connection, and ease.
