Hello and welcome to Liberated Connections body relaxation and affirmation meditation.
My name is Heather and I will be your guide today.
Let's begin with visiting an intention and affirmation that you would like to set for today.
Take a moment to pause this recording if you'd like.
Now let's find a comfortable position.
Stretch your arms and legs and find that extra cozy spot and relax.
Take a couple of deep breaths and allow the air to naturally fill your lungs.
Focus on your breath and notice how soothing breathing can be.
How it nourishes your entire body.
How relaxing it can be.
With each breath you take,
Allow the background to slowly fade away.
All the noises in the room will only allow you to relax further and you can take comfort in the fact that you are in a safe place.
Notice if there is any tension in your body and make the decision to let go of that tension.
Breathe into the area where there is tension and allow it to be set free.
All the tightness in your body is being released.
Take a deep breath.
Breathe in and exhale.
As you relax,
Imagine the muscles in the top of your head soften.
The muscles in your forehead,
The muscles around your eyes,
Cheeks,
Lips.
Just let go of all the tension in your face and jaw.
Continue with relaxing all of the muscles in your neck and shoulder.
The muscles in your chest and upper back.
Moving to your biceps,
Elbows,
Forearms,
Your wrists and hands.
Allowing all of the tension to flow out of your body through each of your fingertips.
Take a deep breath and allow it all to drift out of your body.
Give yourself permission to let go of all the stress in your upper body completely.
Breathe it out.
Now draw your attention to your midsection.
Imagine every muscle in your stomach,
The middle of your back.
Breathe into any discomfort.
Allow it all to drift out of your body with each breath that you exhale.
Now draw your attention to the muscles in your lower back,
Your sitting bones and your hips.
Breathe into these areas and allow the muscles to soften.
Notice if there's any discomfort in your legs.
Direct the relaxation towards the discomfort.
Relaxing your thighs,
Down to your knees.
Calves,
Shins,
To your ankles and feet.
Simply allow all the tension from the lower half of your body to flow out each of your toes.
Now take some time to do a small body scan.
Is there any additional tension,
Stress,
Negativity or frustration remaining?
Now direct your breath to that area of your body.
Take as much time as you need to exhale it completely from your body.
Now take a moment to revisit your intention and intentionality.
Imagine all the stress and tension flowing out through your fingertips and toes,
Leaving your body.
Now is the time to revisit your intention or positive affirmation that you set in the beginning of this practice.
Lengthen your breath.
Begin to direct your mind back into the room.
Gently beginning to wiggle your fingers and toes and slowly open your eyes.
And regain focus.
