Reboot Your Mind & Body - 5-Minute Daily Insight

This meditation focuses on the rejuvenation of both mind and body. It begins with a grounding exercise of deep, gentle breathing while comfortably seated or lying down, encouraging a connection with the body through the placement of hands on the chest and stomach. This practice heightens awareness of the breath's flow, aiding in the release of mental clutter and fostering relaxation. The meditation gently guides the listener to shift their breathing deeper, to the stomach, facilitating a deeper state of calm. As the session progresses, it leads to a state akin to sleep, allowing the body to rebuild, recharge, and revitalize. The meditation concludes with a gradual reawakening, bringing renewed focus and clarity, and leaving the listener feeling calmer, clearer, and more attuned to life's simplicity and joy.

Transcript

Hello and welcome to The Daily Insight.

My name's Andrew Johnson and today's meditation focuses on rebooting mind and body.

Enjoy your practice,

Whether you're sitting or lying down.

Take a gentle deep breath in and out and close your eyes.

And if it feels comfortable,

Put one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach.

It's only when I mention it you become aware of the flow of your breathing.

In and out.

Notice the movement of your hands as you breathe.

There is no right or wrong with this movement,

But if it feels comfortable and natural,

Shift your breathing down into the stomach so that as you breathe in,

The hand resting in your stomach starts to rise as the stomach expands.

And as you breathe out,

The stomach contracts and the hand moves back in.

Resting your awareness and the flow of your breath starts to dilute the mental noise,

Quieten down those unnecessary,

Unneeded thoughts.

And if you wish to,

You can release the hands and arms into a more comfortable position and notice any heaviness that's starting to appear.

Your mind is calmer and clearer,

But the deeper within you go the more that your mind remains calmer and clearer.

You're able to see things in their true perspective.

Your nerves are stronger and steadier.

Your body is relaxed.

In this heaviness,

The body is reaching a stage like sleep.

It's able to rebuild and recharge,

Re-energize,

Revitalize.

Your mind remains calm and clear.

Your body remains rested and relaxed.

But you'll also find that you now have focus,

Clarity.

You're able to see things from a different angle and life seems simpler,

Easier,

Happier.

And it feels as if a weight has been lifted,

Allowing you to live your life in a way that is so much more natural,

Natural and satisfying.

Satisfying to you.

And as we near the end of this practice,

I want you to bring your awareness back to the hands and fingers and give them a little movement.

To the feet and toes,

Give them a little movement.

Stretching the arms out and releasing.

Stretching the legs out and releasing.

And filling the lungs with a deep awakening breath and releasing.

And with a gentle full body stretch,

You can open your eyes and come back to full awareness.
