This is a short Savasana meditation to help you enter a deep state of relaxation and de-stress from the day. Give in to this brief period of stillness.

Transcript

You are now open to a Savasana relaxation,

Making sure you're comfortable and that you're away from any distractions to feel the healing benefit of this Savasana.

Lying on your back,

Allow your back to be comfortable.

Extend your trunk,

Your arms and your legs prior to this relaxation.

Your palms are facing up,

Away from your feet and your feet are hip distance apart and relaxed.

Make sure that you're warm and comfortable so that you can feel your weight sinking down in the earth and then slowly prepare by coming into stillness.

In this healing Savasana,

Allow your body to be in a deep state of relaxation,

Kind of yogic sleep.

Keep your mind alert as the breath and the consciousness move around the whole body.

Just be aware of the background sound of Aum as it resonates with us and is an effective way to unite our mind,

Our body,

Our breath and our consciousness,

Also known as our soul,

Our spirit.

So we begin by hearing the sound Aum once,

Becoming one with the vibration of the sound Aum.

So just allow your body to sink deeper and deeper into the earth,

The whole body relaxing while your mind stays alert,

Awake and conscious.

As you relax deeper,

Your body moving into stillness and you can visualize yourself rising above your body,

Seeing yourself clearly as you are.

This may feel a little strange to imagine as you're looking down on your body,

Looking at the shape of your body,

Position that you're holding,

But just observe the body as it is.

Allow your body to be more and more relaxed as you go deeper into this relaxation.

Allow your breath to be smooth and nourishing.

And then slowly we rotate our consciousness with a breath into different parts of our body.

We'll observe our legs,

Our back,

Our front,

Different parts of our back,

Our shoulders,

We'll observe the neck and the head.

And then slowly we begin our Savasana practice.

Bring your awareness to your legs and then relax your toes,

Noticing each single toe,

Relax the soles of your feet,

Relax your lower legs,

Your shin bones,

Your calf muscles,

Noticing your knees,

Your kneecaps and your upper legs.

Imagine breathing into your legs and then relaxing your legs completely,

Allowing the legs to feel heavy on the floor.

Bring your awareness to your back,

Relaxing your lower back,

Your middle back and your upper back.

Notice the contact between your back and the floor.

Notice the wideness of the back.

Begin the breath and relax your back completely as you breathe out.

Slowly releasing any tension that you're holding in your back and then sinking further into the floor,

Deepening the relaxation.

And then bring your awareness to your shoulders and your neck.

Move your shoulders away from the head and press them down gently.

Enjoy the sensations and then relax your shoulders and your neck completely.

Bring your awareness to the front of the body and notice the expansion of your lungs as you breathe in and then relaxing of your lungs as you breathe out.

Moving the chest away from the abdomen and keeping the abdomen relaxed.

Begin the breath slightly so that you can deepen your relaxation.

Relax your upper arms,

Your elbows,

Your lower arms,

Your wrists,

Your palms and your fingers.

Begin the arms to be heavy and relaxed.

Breathing into your arms and breathing out as you relax.

Slowly relaxing your face,

Your chin,

Your mouth,

Your lips gently closed.

Relaxing your nose,

Relaxing your eyes.

Your eyes are moving back into their sockets.

Relaxing your forehead.

Just observe this area.

Begin just breathing in and relaxing your face as you breathe out.

Feeling totally relaxed and heavy now.

Relax the back of the head,

The top of the head,

Also known as the crown of the head.

And just notice the sensation going deeper and deeper into our relaxation.

And then bringing awareness to the whole body with a deep breath.

Moving the breath and the consciousness in and around the body.

We begin observing our toes,

Legs,

The back,

The front,

The shoulders,

Your neck,

Your face,

The back of the head,

The crown of the head.

And then relaxing completely as you observe the body lying there.

Feeling of wholeness,

Feeling of calmness as you observe the body relaxing.

Observing the stillness and the calmness of the Savasana.

Staying with the breath.

And then slowly coming back to the present moment.

Using the breath as an anchor to become aware.

And at the same time feeling relaxed and at peace.

Letting the body know that there is nothing else to do right now.

Just simply being here as human being rather than human being.

Cherishing this gift of the present moment and experiencing the freedom within this present moment.

Take time to bring yourself back.

Let's begin with small movements at first.

Rolling off the sides if you wish to resume your daily activities.

And then gently coming up to sitting position.

Feeling a sensation of loving compassion and connectedness to all beings.

Go with this tranquility and beauty.

Feeling the body calm and at peace with yoga Savasana.

And this practice of Savasana is now over.

But you can continue with it if you wish to do so.
