Healing Body Scan

Body Scan meditation. A simple relaxation connecting with parts of the body, to bring peace and relaxation to the body.

We start with the intention of breathing in healing energy and throughout the meditation, release what no longer serves us.

Transcript

Start by getting yourself comfortable, Either sitting or laying down. If you are comfortable to, Please close down your eyes. If you prefer to leave your eyes open, Lower your gaze and slowly settle yourself. Move your attention to your breathing and take a deep breath in slowly through your nose and then slowly releasing the breath out of your mouth. Repeat this two more times. Then return to the rhythm of your natural breath. Set the intention as you breathe throughout this meditation that you are breathing in healing energy and breathing out what no longer serves you. You have nowhere else to be, Nothing else to do. Allow yourself to be present here in this moment. When your mind wanders, Just acknowledge the thought with gratitude, Release it with love and acceptance and return to my voice. Please focus your attention on your whole body. Feel the connection between your body and the floor, The cushion or the chair. Notice any sensations. We are going to move our focus through parts of your body, One at a time. We will allow them to relax, Even a little. If you notice areas of tension, Don't judge, Solve or analyse. Just notice. In this moment, We just want to be.
