For Anyone Who Needs Deep Rest Right Now

This meditation is an invitation to rest your body fully into support. To let gravity do what it does best — hold you — while you gently release what has been weighing you down.

Through soft awareness and slow, nourishing breaths, you’re guided to melt tension from the body and return to a sense of ease and grounded calm. Nothing needs to be forced. You simply follow the natural movement of letting go.

Return to this practice whenever your body feels tight, heavy, restless, or when you long to feel more relaxed, supported, and at home in yourself.

So begin by coming into a comfortable position. You can either sit, Stand or lie down. Whatever your body needs right now. Adjusting your body a little bit. To settle in to the position that you have chosen. Now I invite you to either close your eyes or lower your gaze. Just to limit visual distraction. Become aware of how the surface beneath you is supporting you in this moment. Letting your body rest on this ground. Letting go of the weight in your hands. Letting your hands rest. Relaxing the muscles in your forehead. And the area around your eyes. Loosening the muscles in your face. Noticing any tension or heaviness melting downwards. Moving out of your body and into the ground beneath you. Feeling the tension and the worries melting and moving downwards slowly towards the ground. Letting the tension in your head melt away. Letting go of the stress in your shoulders and your neck. Feeling the heaviness move downward. Letting go of the tension in your shoulders and your neck. Letting go of the stress in your shoulders and your neck. Feeling it melt down from your thighs to your foot and into the ground. Letting your whole body relax. Sitting with this relaxed body. Whenever you notice any body part tensing up, Bringing your attention to it and letting go of any tension that is building up. Melting from that part. Going down into your feet and leaving your body into the ground. Letting yourself fully relax. Now as we come to the end of this meditation, We are going to take some deep belly breaths to rejuvenate and refresh ourselves. So I invite you to place one or both of your hands on your belly and with the in-breath notice your belly getting filled with fresh oxygen. Nourishing your whole body and as you exhale letting go of any residual tension or worries. Continue to breathe like this for a few moments. Noticing your hands move with the belly as you take deep refreshing breaths. Breathing in spaciousness and breathing out any tightness. Now whenever you feel ready, Begin to come out of this meditation by gently wiggling your toes and your fingers. Connecting back with your body and gently opening your eyes. Coming back to this space.
