Hello family,
Welcome to your quick somatic reset.
This is an active body scan where we'll be utilizing our breath paired with tensing and releasing techniques to really effectively help the body let go of some of that deeply rooted tension that it loves to hold on to.
So we'll be utilizing a triple inhale through the nose where we'll focus on a specific space in the body.
The first inhale create gentle tension,
Second tense more,
And then the third tense as much as you can,
And then just sighing it out.
So the cadence will look like this.
All right,
So just bringing your awareness up into your head and face.
Finding a slow,
Steady breath in and out through the nose.
And just slowly on your own,
Working that awareness down through the body.
Just noticing how each space feels,
Honoring each as it is,
Whether it feels relaxed,
Light,
Or tense and heavy.
Arriving all the way down to your feet.
Visualizing your feet in your mind,
Noticing them exactly as they are.
And then completing this next exhale release out all the air completely.
And then breathe in gentle squeeze in squeeze more in squeeze fully then just sigh it out,
Let it go.
Gently working that focus up into the hips.
Just noticing how that space within and throughout your root center feels again honoring whatever it is.
Noticing whatever surface is supporting you,
Maybe cultivating some gratitude for that support.
And then completing this next exhale release out completely all the air.
And then breathe in gentle squeeze the hips in squeeze more in squeeze fully and completely then just sigh.
Go slowly returning to your natural breath.
Shifting your focus down your arms and into your hands.
Just noticing how your hands are resting.
Are they facing up or down?
Are they open or closed?
There's no right or wrong.
No good or bad.
Just noticing.
Then exhale fully and completely release out any last air.
And then breathe in gently squeeze the hands in squeeze more in squeeze as much as you can then just sigh it out.
Let it all go.
Let the hands once again open.
Slowly returning to your natural breath shifting that focus back up the arms into the chest and shoulders.
Just noticing how that space feels our body loves to hold tension unconsciously in the shoulders.
So just notice any of it that you feel.
And exhaling completely take a moment give yourself your shoulders complete permission to relax here.
And then breathe in gentle squeeze of the shoulders in squeeze more in squeeze them up here's as much as you can then sigh.
Just let them melt.
Let them relax completely.
Gently just shifting your focus on your own.
Continuing with these slow steady breaths down through the body.
Once again,
Noticing how those spaces that before felt tight or tense just how they feel now.
Maybe some have softened.
Maybe where before they felt heavy and tense are now light and soft.
Just taking a few more moments to really enjoy this felt sense of ease,
Relaxation,
And peace which you have cultivated.
