Meditation For Jet Lag

Your body is somewhere else entirely, still counting the hours of another place, running on a clock that no longer matches the sky outside.
This gentle practice helps you stop fighting the confusion and start working with your body instead, guiding your internal rhythm back to where you actually are.

A quiet reset for the traveller in need of rest.

So find a comfortable position. Lying down if it's sleep time. Or seated if this is a daytime reset. Close your eyes and take a long, Slow breath in through your nose. And release it fully through your mouth. Let that breath carry out any tension you've been holding from your journey. And again. Breathing in slowly. And letting it go slowly. Notice the surface beneath you. Feel the solidity. The steadiness. Whatever time your body thinks it is right now. This moment is real. This place is real. You are here. Now bring your awareness to your feet. Notice any tightness. Heaviness or fatigue. Without trying to change anything, Simply acknowledge it. My body has been travelling. It has worked hard. Move your attention slowly upwards. Through your calves. Your knees. Your thighs. Notice the weight of your legs sinking gently downward. Into your hips now. Your lower back. Your abdomen. With each breath. Let your belly soften a little more. And up now into the chest. Into the shoulders. So often where we hold the alertness of travel. Let them drop. Let the effort go. Into your arms. Hands. Fingers and thumbs. Release any grip you have been holding. And finally into your neck. Your job. Your face. Soften around the eyes. Relax the muscles of your forehead. Let everything start to ease. Now gently, And without judgement. Imagine there's a conversation happening inside you. Between your mind And your body's ancient internal clock. Your body is still somewhere else. Still counting the hours of another place. And that's OK. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do. Trying to keep you safe. Trying to make sense of time.
