Transcript

Welcome.

To begin this guided meditation,

Make yourself comfortable either sitting down in a chair or lying down on a yoga mat or on your bed.

Take a big inhale through the nose,

Allow the belly to fill like a balloon,

Completely exhaling through the nose.

Take another big inhale through the nose,

This time holding it at the top.

Open mouth,

Exhale,

Let it all go.

Doing any final adjustments to make yourself completely comfortable for your meditation.

Allow the feet to relax and fall away from the body.

Legs feel heavy and rested.

Allow the hips to softly sink down,

The entire length of your back completely supported by the ground beneath you.

Belly is soft and breathing returns to its natural inhale and exhale.

Allow the shoulders to melt down freeing up the heart space.

Hands,

Wrists,

And arms lie released at your sides.

Relax the throat,

Jaw,

And mouth.

Cheeks and eyelids feel heavy.

Finally relaxing brow and forehead.

Let go of any last little bit of tension in the body and sink into this place of rest.

Belly is soft and breathing returns to its natural inhale and exhale.

If the mind begins to wander,

Gently guide it back to the breath.

If the mind begins to wander,

Gently guide it back to the breath.

Take a moment to acknowledge yourself for making this time for your meditation practice.

Realizing this new energy and choosing to take it with you into the rest of your day.

When you feel ready,

Gently begin to bring some awareness to the body.

Realizing this new energy and choosing to take it with you into the rest of your day.
