Hi,

I'm Denzil.

This Ishwar Pranidhana meditation is an ancient Indian yogic meditation,

A meditation of surrender,

Surrender to the universe,

Surrender to time and surrender to space.

Because when we surrender,

When we let go,

We sleep and rest well.

So I request you to lie down flat on your back,

Feet stretched out in front of you,

Hands by your side and just breathe in nice and deep,

A deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep inhale and a slow,

Gentle,

Easy,

Happy,

Complete exhale.

Just let it go,

Let go of your breath,

Because that's what we do when we exhale and then you breathe in nice and deep again,

A deep,

Deep,

Deep inhale and a slow,

Gentle,

Complete exhale.

Just letting it go,

Letting it go,

I release,

I surrender and then you breathe in nice and deep again,

A deep,

Deep inhale and a slow,

Gentle,

Exhale.

Just letting go of your breath in this moment,

In that faith that it will come back to you and that you breathe in nice and deep again,

Just centering yourself in this moment.

I am in my most comfortable space,

I'm at home,

I'm secure,

I'm safe and I am at peace.

And now I want you to take your attention down to your feet and as you breathe in nice and deep,

I want you to push your feet away from you,

Push,

Push,

Push,

Out and away and as you exhale,

You drop and relax,

Relax,

Relax and as you relax,

You just let go of all of that tension,

All of the stress that your feet has been carrying over the day,

Over the week,

Over these months,

Just let it go.

Let's do this one more time,

Breathing in nice and deep,

You push your feet out and away from you,

Push,

Push,

Push,

Push,

Push and as you exhale,

You drop and relax,

Relax,

I relax my body,

I relax my mind,

I relax my soul,

Just letting go of all of the tension,

Surrendering all of the tension,

All of the stress,

All of the anxiety that you might have right now,

Relax,

Relax,

Relax.

And now let's take our attention a little higher to the area of your calves and as you breathe in nice and deep,

I request you to pull your feet in and towards your face,

Pull,

Pull,

Pull,

Pull,

Pull and as you exhale,

You drop and relax,

Relax,

As you breathe in nice and deep,

You pull your feet in and towards your face and as you exhale,

Just let go,

Let go,

Let go of all the tension in your calves,

Your calves that have walked you through life,

Through the last day.

Through the last month,

I let go and relax,

Letting go of all of that stress and all of that tension that's in your body right now.

I'm letting it go and slowly you let your feet loose and easy.

As you feel that tension ebbing out of your body,

Slowly just let it go and know that you're safe and secure and at peace.

And now we take our attention up to our thighs and as you breathe in nice and deep,

Tense the muscles of your thighs,

Tense,

Tense,

Tense and as you exhale,

You drop and let it go,

Let it go,

Let all of the tension in your thighs just drop away.

As you relax your body,

Relax your mind,

Relax your soul,

Just relaxing in this moment,

Knowing that you're easy and secure and comfortable.

Letting go of all the thoughts that you have in this moment,

I surrender to the universe,

I surrender to God,

Whoever is your creator,

Whoever is your vision of the one who creates,

The one who sustains and the one who transforms.

You relax under the care of that universe.

I let it all go,

Relax,

Relax,

Relax.

And now let's take our attention a little higher to the area of your abdomen.

To relax all of the organs of that area,

Let's breathe in nice and deep first,

Buffing up your stomach,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

You drop and relax,

Let's breathe in nice and deep,

Buffing up your stomach again,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up and as you exhale,

You drop and let go,

Let go and surrender all of the tension and all of that fear,

Anxiety that you might have stored in your body right now.

Any kind of tension in your stomach or intestines or kidneys or liver or pancreas,

Any tension that you're storing in the organs of your sexuality,

You let them go right now,

Let it go,

As you breathe in nice and deep again,

You bring in peace and calm and ease into this moment.

Letting go of any stress that you have,

Any tension you might be carrying in the area of your abdomen,

I let it go,

Let it go,

Let it go.

Just relaxing all of the organs in that area,

Relax,

Relax,

Relax and as you relax this tension,

You will feel that ease and that surrender into the space that you are,

Your bed or your sofa or the floor where you are.

You're just sinking into that area now.

As you're letting go of any tension that you have in this moment,

I rest,

I relax and I restore.

I rest,

I relax and I restore.

And now I take my attention a little higher into the area of your thorax and to those beautiful yet sensitive organs of your heart and your lungs.

Now let's breathe into your chest,

Puffing it up as far as possible up,

Up,

Surrendering any fear that you have in this moment.

I am safe and secure and comfortable right now as I relax my body to relax my mind,

To relax my soul.

Now I want you to take your attention a little higher to the area of your shoulders and as you breathe in nice and deep,

I want you to pull your shoulders up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up towards your face and as you exhale,

You drop and relax,

Relax and let go of any tension that you're carrying in your shoulders.

Your shoulders carry the heavy load of responsibility.

Just let it go.

In this moment you're not responsible for anybody else or anything else,

Any task,

Any assignment,

Any kind of workload that you have,

Looking after others.

You're not responsible right now.

This is your time for rest,

To relax and restore and so you let go of any stress,

It's just a feeling.

Let it go.

Let it go in this moment as you bring your body down to rest.

You bring your mind down to rest.

You bring your soul into a space of rest.

As we find rest in this moment,

We relax and let go of any tension,
