Enjoy this body scan relaxation exercise. I have included bilateral music, which I have found extremely beneficial for calming my ADHD mind. Bilateral music, known for its soothing effects, helps synchronize the brain's hemispheres, promoting a sense of balance and tranquility. As you listen, you may find it easier to focus, relax, and let go of stress. It is most beneficial when using headphones During the body scan, you'll be guided through a process of bringing attention to different parts of your body, helping you to release tension and become more mindful of the present moment. This practice can improve your overall well-being, reduce anxiety, and enhance your ability to concentrate. I hope you find this music as useful as I have. Allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience, and feel free to return to it whenever you need a moment of calm and clarity.

Transcript

Let's begin this meditation now by finding a comfortable position,

Whether sitting or lying down.

Take a breath in and exhale letting go of any tension or stress that you might be holding on to.

Take a breath in and a breath out.

I want you to know that wherever you are in this moment it's perfectly alright.

Giving yourself permission to take some time to rest and focus on your breath.

Fully inhale allowing the belly to expand and as you exhale feel a wave of relaxation sweeping over you.

Breathing in feeling your entire body filled with fresh oxygen and exhale allowing that wave of relaxation to sweep over you.

Inhale deeply and exhale.

Notice your body relaxing without any effort from you.

Taking a note of how you feel in this very moment and allow your breath to be natural.

Drawing the awareness to the top of the head,

Down to your forehead and your eyes.

Notice how your eyes feel.

Notice any small movements in the eyes,

Allowing the eyes to settle.

Focus to the back of the head,

Noticing the weight of the head.

Moving your focus to your nose,

Feeling the air moving in and moving out with your breath.

For each breath imagine your body feeling light,

Awareness to the ears.

Noticing how the ears feel.

Notice what they can hear around you.

Notice every single noise.

Letting the sounds come into your ears,

Allow them to act as waves of relaxation.

Taking you even deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation.

Noticing the sound of my voice.

Focusing on your mouth.

Noticing how the mouth feels.

Focus on the neck and shoulders.

Noticing any tension to release and let go.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

And slowly going down each arm,

Down all the way to each fingertip.

Notice what your fingertips are touching and any sensation on your fingertip.

Allow your focus to go to your chest,

Relaxing this area as well as your back.

Breath in,

Breath out.

Awareness to the lungs,

Feeling the lungs expanding and releasing.

Allowing your focus to move to your digestive system.

Notice your belly and observe it digesting effortlessly for you.

Notice the lower back.

Breathing in and out.

Relaxing on the pelvis and taking yourself deeper into a state of relaxation.

Awareness down each leg,

Relaxing the legs.

This wonderful wave of relaxation moves down over your knees to the very tip of each toe.

Take a breath in and out,

In and out.

You're doing the best that you can and that's enough.

Slowly say,

I accept myself as I am.

I acknowledge I may struggle with focus and that's okay.

I accept myself as I am.

I accept I may find it challenging keeping things organized and tidy but I'm doing the best with the resources that I have.

I accept myself as I am.

I release the need for perfection and I embrace each moment as an opportunity for growth and learning.

I release the need for perfection and embrace each moment as an opportunity for growth and learning.

Take a breath in and out.

Feeling a sense of compassion and understanding toward yourself as you allow these affirmations to sink into your mind and your heart.

Knowing you are worthy and deserving of love particularly from yourself.

And as we come to the end of this meditation,

Gently bring the awareness back to the present moment.

Move the fingers and the toes and when you're ready,

Gently opening the eyes.
