I Release

Breathing into the body, and releasing has the ability to ease tension. Tension can build throughout the day, and over time can lead to other pains. In this practice, you will begin with a focus on the breath and use that breath to allow you to release tension wherever you feel it in your body.

Transcript

This practice will be a body scan to release tension. Find a comfortable seat and when you're ready, Gently close your eyes. Repeat after me, I release. Bring your focus to your breath as it gently fills your body and leaves your body. On your next inhale, Try to lengthen the time it takes your breath to fill your body. And as you exhale, Allow that breath to slowly release. Inhale again, Slowly filling your body. And release. Inhale. And release. Last time, Inhale. And release. Our body often carries so much tension throughout the day. We often don't realize it until we feel the aches and the pains. Right now, Focus your mind on your body and release the tension you may have there. Starting with your face, Allow your jaw to release the tension there. Unclenching your jaw. Easing the crease in your forehead. Breathing in to your body. And as you exhale, Release that tension in your face. Traveling down your body, Bring your attention to your neck. With a deep breath in, Allow that breath to fill your body. And as you release, Let the tension build from your neck. Traveling down to your shoulders, Often times you may pinch your shoulders up, Allow those now to relax. And as you breathe in, Fill your body with that breath and release that tension. Going down to each of your arms. Feel any tension here. Inhale in. And as you release, Imagine the tension flowing down your arm and releasing from the tips of your fingers. Traveling down your back. Inhale deeply. Feel your body. And gently release, Letting go of all the tension in your back. Imagine now that all that tension is gone and you're able to straighten your posture as you now have found ease here. Continuing down your body, Focus on each of your legs. Inhale in. And as you release, Imagine the tension releasing from the bottom of your feet. Now that we've made it down to your feet, Focus on them for a moment. Your feet carry you all day and night, Wherever you need to go, No questions asked. Often times they are tired, They need rest, A break even. Take a deep breath in and as you release, Give your feet the much needed break. The pain, The tension, The aches, They're all releasing as you now exhale. If you're able to, Gently rock your body, Swaying from side to side. Find stillness and as you do, Starting at the top of your head, Work down your body. Anywhere that you still feel tension, Breathe in and out there as you release. As you bring this meditation to a close, Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes. Pause and commit this feeling, The ease, The stillness to memory. Throughout your day or your week, Recall this memory and remember, You have the tools you need to get back here. Until next time, Be well.

Although the voice recording quality was low and the sound mixing odd, I actually loved this. It had an immersive otherworldliness and your sweet gentle reassuring voice and words beneath the repetitive music was beautiful. Namaste Jasmine 🤍💚
