Shoulder Break

A short shoulder relaxation meditation. The shoulders are where many of us carry tension (especially those of us working on computers). We also "carry the weight of the world on our shoulders." Learn to let go!

Transcript

If it's safe to do so,

Close your eyes,

Allow them to close.

Lift your shoulders and let them drop.

As you drop your shoulders,

Feel any tension simply melt away.

Do this another three times.

Ready?

Lift.

Hold.

Relax.

And relax your hands.

Let's do this another three times.

And allow your shoulders and your arms and your hands and your fingers to loosen and relax.

Give them a little shake.

Now gently open your eyes and retain this level of relaxation.

I so often have pain and tension in my shoulder after my covid shot. This short exercise is perfect for this. Thank you 🙏🏼. ✨

Ohh, my god, i'm definitely going back to this. one.I love this meditation.

An excellent, quick little vignette of relief one can use anytime or anywhere. This would be great relief for people who sit at a desk all day too! Thankyou so much 🙏🏼🌻

So as of next year, in 2025, I will have known you & have listened to your meditations for 10 years!
That is a HUGE milestone for me!
I think that deserves some reward, don't you think? Haha 😊
Thank you Andrew, from the bottom of my ❤, for everything you have taught me in my life!
😇🙏🏻💕🙏🏻😊

Just what I needed - a quick stress relief. Thank you for this!

Locely, short and to the point. Ideal for when you’re pressed for time or want a mini-break during work.

This seems like a fantastic practice for everyday tense and sore shoulders. I've bookmarked it and saved it to a Playlist for specific physical issues. I wasn't able to actually do these movements today - my shoulder problems at the moment are mostly tendinitis in both of them, so that would hurt - but I simply visualized the motions and felt my neck muscles releasing a little bit, which felt nice and was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for sharing this with us, Andrew. I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻❤🤲🏻

I love anything Andrew does! Thank you!
