Welcome to your neck tension release meditation.
My name is Kaylin and I'll be breathing with you today.
Get comfortable,
Soft belly,
Straight back.
Take a few centering deep breaths.
Breathing in through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Relax.
The neck stores tension from our days,
Restlessness from our nights.
It holds stability.
We're going to do some soft stretches to the right.
Just lean as far as you can with your neck and breathe.
Feel the strain on your neck on the right.
Be mindful of your pain and breathe.
I'm going to move to the other side.
Just stretch the neck muscles,
Relieving tension from your head to your shoulders.
Taking deep breaths in through the belly.
We're going to send healing intentions to our neck.
We're going to roll our shoulders through the breath.
So just lightly roll each shoulder,
Breathing in,
Feeling the energy move up the spine to the neck.
Keep rolling,
Keep breathing.
Back to center.
We're going to roll the other way now,
Backwards,
Each muscle releasing as we roll.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Just imagine all of your neck muscles releasing and breathe.
I'm going to stretch backward gently,
Just relaxing the head all the way back and breathing.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Let the tension release.
Back to center.
Deep breath in.
Lean forward now.
Feel the stretch through your spine all the way to your neck.
Just relax.
Let it go and breathe.
Back to center.
Send one more healing intention to the muscles in your neck.
Slow circles of the neck around,
Slow as you can.
Be gentle with yourself here and back to center and just slowly rotate.
If there's pain,
Just breathe.
Your neck is your balance.
Just connect with it.
Breathe through this.
Imagine your muscles letting go,
Your knots dissolving.
Back to center and breathe.
Sending love and kindness.
Let's do a small lift with our hands,
Gently pulling upward on our jawline and around the base of our skull.
Just breathe and pull gently,
Stretching and releasing.
Back to center.
Deep breaths.
Always go back to the breath.
We're going to take a deep,
Deep breath in now,
All the way to the top and release it all the way to the bottom of your lungs.
Truly letting go.
Shoulders relaxed and we're going to hold.
Hold on that out-breath.
Listen to your heartbeat,
Regulating the nervous system and deep breath in and out.
Breathe.
Deep breath in and hold.
Keep holding.
You can do this and release.
Great job.
May your necks be loose and your days be brighter.
Thank you for breathing with me.
Be well.
