Are you ready to meditate with Kari?

Lay down and get comfortable in your bed.

Make sure that everything is just right in your room.

The lights are just right.

You're wearing your comfortable pajamas and you can fully relax your body and let go of your busy,

Busy day.

Make sure that you're laying on your back.

Your arms are placed away from your body so you've got some space between your arms and your body.

Open your legs just a little bit and let your feet fall and relax as if you're laying like a star underneath your covers in the bed.

You can close your eyes if you want to or you can allow your eyes to close naturally on their own in just a few minutes.

Notice how soft and comfortable your bed is.

Feel what it feels like to be laid on the soft mattress underneath your covers.

Warm and safe,

Protected from the rest of the world.

Imagine that your bed is like a big cloud in the sky.

It's big and white and fluffy and it holds your body and supports you fully as you float around up there in the sky.

The sky itself is a lovely blue color.

It's bright and clear and imagine that there's a golden haze coming from the sun that makes you feel all warm inside.

And as you lay on your cloud,

You start to really feel into all the different parts of your body,

All the different nooks and crannies that make up who you are.

You start by focusing on your thumb on your right hand.

Start with your eyes closed.

Feel inside of your body and just put all of your attention,

All of your focus right there on your right hand thumb.

And then move your attention over to your first finger on your right hand and feel inside,

Outside,

All around that part of your finger.

Take your attention over to your second finger.

As if you're traveling in your mind through your body from your first finger to your middle finger,

Your second finger.

And you're feeling inside,

Around,

On the outside.

And then your third finger,

Your ring finger on your right hand.

Take a relaxing breath and put all of your focus and attention into that third finger.

Feel what's going on inside of it,

Around on the outside.

And then move to your fourth finger,

Sliding down and landing at the top of your head.

Feel all the feelings and sensations.

Maybe you can feel your scalp tingling a little bit as if someone's gently touching your hair.

And then move your attention down into your forehead,

Relaxing any tightness.

Feel your right temple at the side of your forehead.

Your left temple.

What you can feel on the inside.

What you notice on the outside.

And then as if you're sliding from your chin all the way down to your left thumb on your left hand.

Does it tingle?

Does it vibrate?

Is it nice and relaxed?

Your body.

The whole body.

Your entire body is so,

So relaxed on the big white fluffy cloud in the sky.

Drifting off to sleep with every single part of your body.

All the nooks and crannies completely relaxed.

Sweet dreams,

My little friend.
