Today's meditation will help you create more awareness around stress and maybe how you let stress build up in your physical body.
We will practice really gentle ways to soften some of the tensions that have built up within over time.
Make sure you're sitting comfortably or lying down comfortably,
Fully alert and awake.
Observe how you feel today.
Take some longer exhales out your nose and allow yourself to become more present with each passing exhale.
Feel the points of your body in contact with the floor or the cushion.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
So the practice from here on out is to simply stay with these tense spots in your body and imagine that they are releasing every time you take a slow exhale through your nose.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
It's a really basic practice for your physical body.
Continue letting go into another point of tension with the next exhale.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And into another little spot of tightness or achiness,
A long exhale to release.
To deepen this practice of relaxation further,
Place a hand somewhere on your body that grips really tightly when you're in a state of high stress.
Or place a hand on a spot that is speaking to you right now.
Let your body receive the warmth of your hand and give this space some kindness and kind attention.
Getting into any little stubborn spots,
Letting them go with another long breath.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
Finish up with a couple long,
Slow breaths out.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
And notice if any parts of your body are holding on to stress right now.
Be patient with yourself and keep practicing.
Please thank yourself for any wisdom that you tapped into during your meditation today.
Namaste.
