Welcome to your guided meditation.
I invite you to find a comfortable position wherever your body can feel most at ease.
And then once you arrive there,
Getting out any wiggles or movements that would help your body feel more relaxed.
Maybe some shoulder shrugs or shoulder rolls.
Maybe just moving side to side.
Some circles,
Neck circles.
Just taking a few minutes here to just kind of settle into the body,
Release any tension.
Using these first few moments to just really become present within your body.
Tuning into your sensations,
What you're noticing within yourself.
And then once you feel ready,
Just letting the eyes close,
Finding a little bit of stillness.
Starting to take some big deep breaths,
Breathing into the nose,
Sighing it out the mouth.
As you inhale,
Just breathing in a sense of peace and calm.
And as you exhale,
Letting go of any tension or stress.
Do a few more big breaths like that,
Breathing in a sense of calm.
Letting go any tension,
Any thoughts,
Worries,
Just letting go with the exhale.
Just noticing here how you're feeling.
Feeling more present within your body after breathing,
Just noticing any shifts.
Really letting your body relax,
So letting your forehead relax,
Space between your eyebrows,
The jaw unhinges,
Tongue falls away from the roof of the mouth.
Let your neck,
Your chin draw in a little bit so that your neck is straight,
Nice tall spine.
The shoulders relax,
The arms and hands relax.
You can be facing down for a sense of grounding or facing up for a sense of receiving.
Letting them be relaxed and heavy.
Let your belly be relaxed,
Your low back,
Your hips,
Your legs,
Your ankles and your feet.
Just get a sense of heaviness as you ground into your seat or wherever you are laying down or sitting.
Just feeling your body become more heavy with each breath,
Becoming very relaxed.
Take another few more breaths.
This time,
I invite you to make a little bit of noise with your exhale,
So like a big sigh.
Letting your nose now,
Breathing in through the nose and then sighing out with a little bit of noise.
Your jaw stay open,
Your tongue stay relaxed.
Notice how you feel here.
Even just a little bit of sound can release more stuck energy from our body,
From our physical body and our energetic body.
As we relax our jaw and our mouth,
Our throat,
It also helps relax our pelvic floor.
It helps our yoni to feel safe and at ease.
So if any point during our meditation,
You're feeling like you just need to draw yourself back into the present moment.
You can take one of those big clearing breaths,
Making a little bit of noise.
Just inviting yourself back into the breath,
Back into the here and now,
Knowing that it is okay for the mind to wander.
It's what it naturally does.
And without judgment,
When you notice that you're thinking of something else rather than just being present with your breath or your body,
Just take that big breath and gently invite yourself back to the here,
Back to the now.
It's that continual practice of drawing ourselves back into the present,
Back into the present time and time again that helps us develop that skill,
A sustained focus.
Helps train the mind to be where we want it to be versus just running wild.
Your breath is always with you,
Always supporting you.
You are always being breathed by the intelligence of your body.
And at any time you can tap into your breath to bring you back into the present,
Back into a sense of grounding and calm.
Always have the tool of your breath with you.
Just noticing where you are,
If you're anywhere but here right now.
Take a big breath in and let it go.
Coming back to this breath,
This next inhale,
This next exhale.
Right here,
Right now.
Just breathing is enough.
You don't have to be doing anything else.
Practicing just being.
And we create this space where we can just be with ourselves,
Communicates that message to our inner child that we are okay to just be with you.
Don't have to be doing or performing,
Achieving.
We are enough just as we are just to sit and be in the presence of ourselves.
Just being with yourself.
No agenda,
Nothing to do.
Just being in the presence of you.
Truly a gift.
Giving your eyes to the unseen,
Giving voice to the unheard that exists within you.
Let your right hand come over your low belly,
Your room space,
Space of creation.
All of our beautiful emotions.
Let your other hand,
Your left hand come over your chest,
Over your heart.
Center for love,
Compassion.
Start to take some big breaths,
Feeling your belly rise,
Your chest rise as you inhale,
The body slowly release as you exhale.
Letting all your focus be on feeling the inhale,
Feeling the exhale.
Being present with your body,
Present with your breath.
Letting it release what it doesn't need,
Softens,
Draws back in,
Let's go.
Can't have one without the other,
We breathe in,
We let go.
Our body is always showing us that constant rhythm of taking in and letting go.
A couple more breaths bringing in a sense of gratitude for your breath.
With you from the beginning,
With you till the end.
That's the end of this lifetime.
Let your hands release.
Just finding a couple other things that you're feeling grateful for.
So many miracles that happen all around us we take for granted.
We have a bed to sleep in,
Clothes to wear,
Food to eat,
Water to drink,
Place to use the bathroom.
You're truly blessed.
Taking in one final clearing breath together,
A big inhale and sighing it all out.
Slowly letting your eyes open.
Just letting yourself reacquaint to the space.
Just taking your time not rushing.
Just taking it all in.
Just being gentle with yourself as you are in an open,
Calm space.
I invite you to just be cherishing of that energy.
Maybe you have some slow sips of tea or warm water.
Take time to journal.
Maybe just take time to just be for a little bit longer.
Sending you all my love and light.
Stay.
