Hello and welcome to today's meditation.
This relaxing meditation can be done in any position,
Whether you're sitting up or lying down,
However is most comfortable for you.
Let's begin by taking some big deep breaths in through the nose and exhaling out through the mouth.
Another big deep breath in through the nose and exhaling out through the mouth.
One more time in through the nose and exhaling out through the mouth.
As you continue to breathe,
Do so in a manner that is comfortable for you,
Whether that is in and out through the nose or continuing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
But however you breathe,
I invite you to slow down your breathing.
It's a little bit slower than you normally breathe.
Take a moment to feel those breaths coming into your body,
Taking on this life force energy through the air and feel the sensations as you exhale and let that breath go.
As you relax deeper,
Dropping your shoulders away from your ears,
Relaxing your jaw and all the muscles in your body,
See what sensations you can pick up as you breathe in and as you exhale,
Allowing any thoughts that float to mind to be released and let go through the body.
Simply witnessing but not attaching ourselves to anything.
Challenging yourself to see how relaxed you can make your breath.
There's nowhere to be,
There's nothing to think,
There's nothing to say.
This is a time simply for you to relax and tune in.
How relaxed can you make your body?
Noticing as you let go of any tension in your hands or your palms,
Letting your hands completely relax,
Allowing your arms to relax as well,
Dropping your shoulders away from your ears,
Allowing your face to fall with gravity.
Let this relaxation seep through your body,
From your upper body down,
Relaxing your abdomen as you breathe naturally and deeply,
Relaxing your glutes and the muscles and the tendons in your groin,
Relaxing your thighs and relaxing down your legs all the way throughout until your feet are relaxed as well.
Taking a moment to be acquainted with this stillness as you intentionally continue to breathe deeply and slowly.
And from this place of peace,
I invite you to set an intention of what you'd like your day to look like moving forward or how you would like to feel moving forward through your day.
What kind of feelings would you like to experience?
Imagining those feelings on the body as though you're feeling them here and now.
Take as long as you need to relax and ground yourself,
Bringing this stillness with you into your day.
And whenever you feel called and ready,
I welcome you to begin moving your fingers and wiggling your toes and slowly and gently coming back to the space that you're in and opening your eyes whenever you feel called.
