Welcome to this guided meditation for relaxation.
Go ahead and find yourself a quiet place to sit.
You could even lie down.
Turn off your phone and dim the lights.
Do whatever you need to do to feel comfortable.
This is your time.
A time for total relaxation and inner stillness.
Take a moment to make sure that you're warm enough and that you're seated comfortably.
Just rest your hands loosely in your lap and close your eyes.
Now take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in and slowly exhale.
And another long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Hold it for just a moment and then slowly exhale.
Just allow any tension to melt away as you gradually relax more and more deeply with each breath.
Take another long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Hold it and then exhale.
Into your lungs completely with your outbreath.
Just fill up completely with your inbreath.
Do this a couple of times.
All ready,
You're beginning to drift into a state of deep relaxation.
Continue to breathe slowly and gently.
Just relax.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head.
Just sense or imagine a feeling of relaxation beginning to spread down from the top of your scalp,
Let the muscles in your forehead and temples relax.
Allow your eyes to relax.
Let your cheeks and jaw soften and let go of all the tension.
Now this peaceful feeling flows down your neck and deep into the muscles in your shoulders,
Soothing them,
Releasing them.
Just breathe.
Just allow this peaceful feeling to flow through your arms,
Relaxing and soothing,
And all the way to the tips of your fingers.
And as your body relaxes,
Your mind relaxes,
Your thoughts become weightless like wisps of clouds on the breeze.
Now the peaceful sensations flow through your chest and your stomach.
Feel how this area gently rises and falls as you breathe,
Slowly and deeply,
Soothing and relaxing.
Turn your attention to your back and feel this relaxing sensation flow all the way down your spine.
Now the peaceful feeling flows through your lower body.
Just relax the backs of your legs,
The front of your thighs.
Feel those strong muscles becoming loose and relaxed.
Let soothing feelings flow down through your knees and into your calves.
Relax your ankles.
Now let your feet relax.
Your entire body is soft,
Calm and relaxed.
Just let the external world leave you for a moment.
Go on an inner journey,
A place of deeper inner stillness.
Breathe here.
Good.
Now take a deeper breath in,
Pause for just a second and exhale the breath out.
Just do that one more time.
Take a full and complete breath in,
Pausing right at the top and letting it all go.
Exhale.
So wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
You can blink your eyes a few times if you're ready to come out of your meditation.
It feels good and you want to stay,
You can linger here for a little while longer.
It's up to you.
When you're ready,
You can move on to the rest of your day,
Calm,
Peaceful,
Relaxed and happy.
Namaste.
