Welcome to this smooth,
Soulful,
Guided meditation.
Design specifically.
For evening stress relief.
You can do this meditation at any time though.
It doesn't have to be just in the evening or before bed.
Anytime you need to take a moment to step out of the world and just go within,
Find your inner calm and your safe sanctuary that is always with you.
Meditation now will be heavily inspired by the calming essence of the ocean and nature.
No matter where you are,
Even if you're in the middle of urban jungle.
There'll be nature near to you.
And within you,
We are nature.
So just take a moment to find somewhere comfortable to sit down.
Comfortable seated position or lying down.
And just relax.
Give your body a scan from your toes all the way up to the crown of your head.
Noticing if there's any tension.
Just bring your awareness to that area.
And noticing as well your belly,
That it's relaxed.
Also your jaw,
There's no tension in your jaw.
Soft gap between your teeth.
To focus on melting away any physical tension,
Any mental tension also that's been accumulated throughout your day.
And just relax.
Just being aware of your breath.
Noticing maybe it's a little bit shorter or shallow.
We want to focus on Getting that breath to be smoother,
A little bit slower and longer between each breath.
So just take a deep breath in now,
Either closing or opening the eyes,
Inhaling through the nose,
Deep breath in,
Filling those lungs.
Rising to the top of the breath,
Holding,
Holding,
Holding and exhaling through your mouth.
Either with the mouth closed or slightly open.
Good,
Take a deep breath in again,
Inhaling.
And holding the breath.
And exhaling,
Deep breath out.
Letting go.
Tuning into yourself,
Noticing your breath,
Like the ocean waves,
Raising,
Falling.
In and out of the ocean waves reaching the shore and the gentle breeze around you imagining And again,
We're inviting calm and ease into your body now.
And as you exhale,
Letting go of whatever no longer serves you.
Anything that you have to do later or what you did before,
Just let go of that,
Just being aware of that passing by,
Floating past like clouds.
Creating new space for deep breathing.
Energy,
Rejuvenation and resetting.
I'm going to take a couple more breaths now,
Inhaling again through the nose,
Inhaling Fitting those lungs with fresh new air and energy.
Holding and exhaling out whatever no longer serves you,
Exhaling it all out.
One last breath,
Make this the deepest yet,
Inhaling through the nostrils,
Deep deep breath in,
Filling those lungs with new air.
Holding from the top.
As you gently release those lungs,
Exhaling out through the mouth,
Relaxing your jaw,
Exhaling out.
And let it go.
And now noticing how you feel,
Re-scanning the body.
Maybe you feel a little bit lighter,
A little bit at ease,
Hopefully a lot more peaceful.
And congratulating yourself for Taking that time,
Just a few minutes out of your day,
Just to reset,
Recharge.
And knowing that that peace and your inner sanctuary is always accessible right there within you.
Have a beautiful evening,
A great night's sleep,
Or whatever you're doing.
A lovely rest of your day.
Namaste.
