Take a moment to get comfortable and feel free to pause this recording if you need to.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Exhaling through your mouth with a sigh.
Notice the soles of your feet and the tips of your toes.
Give them a little wiggle if you need to and imagine them start to dissolve into the space around you as if you're floating in a nice warm bath.
Feel the warmth and relaxation move further up your legs,
Past your ankles,
Knees,
Over the tops and bottoms of your thighs,
Through your glutes and into your hips.
Take a deep breath in and sigh out through your mouth.
Feel that warm feeling spread through your belly.
Let it seep through to your back,
Into your chest,
Up to your shoulders,
Like you're floating in a warm sea.
It takes no effort to hold your body.
Feel that comforting sensation travel down your arms,
Past your elbows,
Through your forearms,
Wrists and into the palms of your hands.
Gently down the tips of your fingers.
Take a deep breath in and exhale with a sigh through your mouth.
Feel that warm weightless sensation move from your chest up the back of your neck and your throat.
Let it spread gently through your scalp and melt down your forehead,
Into your eyebrows,
The sockets of your eyes,
Your cheeks and jaw.
Even letting that warm and restful sensation find your tongue,
Letting it rest gently on the bottom of your mouth.
Start to let your breath go,
Letting the sensation of floating take over.
If any thoughts come up,
Acknowledge them and let them float away as you continue on.
If any areas of your body start to tense again,
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth,
Letting it go.
If any areas feel particularly tight or fidgety,
Feel free to restart this meditation and take it from the top.
Enjoy the sensation of being fully supported wherever you are.
You have nothing to do.
There is no urgency now.
Let your body be and trust it to do exactly what it knows how to do.
Feel the sensation of tiredness spreading through you,
Turning off the thoughts and feelings in your mind and in your body and let go,
Drifting off to sleep.
We've reached the end of this five-minute meditation.
Thank you for sharing this time with me.
Be well.
