Good evening and welcome to your session.
Meditating at the end of your day allows you to release all the bits of stress and conditioning you pick up and hold onto throughout the day.
Unresolved thoughts often become the cyclical patterns we encounter the next day.
They can carry on for far too long at times,
Taking up mind space that could otherwise be free to call in and welcome sources of goodness.
So let's free up that mind space before we close the day entirely.
Sipping into your stillness,
Taking that deep,
Grounding breath in and out through the mouth.
Another slow sip of air in through the nose and sighing it out.
One more in,
Raising your shoulders up to your ears and releasing them down on the exhale.
Returning to that natural pace of breath.
Allowing your awareness to follow it in and out of your body.
Feeling it get a little more expansive.
Bring your awareness to your forehead.
Feeling any sensation in the space,
Allowing it to feel heavy as you relax your brow.
Bringing that awareness down to your jaw,
Creating space here to help keep the space in your jaw.
You can rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Checking in with our shoulders,
Making sure they're rested.
Unclenching those hands.
Unknotting the torso,
Allowing it to expand fully as you breathe.
Sitting deep into those hips,
Allowing them to support you.
And releasing that nearly undetectable tension in your thighs,
Calves,
And feet.
Bringing your awareness back to your breath,
Watching it flow in and out of your body.
Remaining present in the now by feeling the subtle sensations of breath.
When a persistent thought pattern arises,
Acknowledge it.
It wants to be seen.
Perhaps even saying,
I see you.
Holding space for it and then accepting the thought as it is by tuning the mind to the body to identify the way the thought makes you feel.
Finding the subtle physical sensation that accompanies the thought.
When you find it,
Perhaps saying,
I feel you.
Moving forward still to amend the pattern by releasing the thought and sensation with a breath.
Feeling a nice slow sip of air in through the nose and gently exhaling all the way.
Feeling the bottom of that breath.
Relaxing that point of tension you've detected and directing the mind back to your natural pace of breath.
Observing that flow in and out of your body.
Repeating the sequence whenever needed and remaining to be the silent witness.
Continue to follow your breath in the present moment,
Sinking into that stillness and I'll watch the clock.
Oui,
Oui,
Oui.
Taking that nice slow sip of air in through the nose and out through the mouth Resting here with your eyes closed Bringing your awareness to your fingers and toes Wiggling them to reawaken your body Inviting any movement that feels good Gently opening your eyes when you're ready Thank you for giving yourself this time to align with your stillness as you bring your day to a close.
Namaste.
