Hello and welcome to this relaxation and stress relief meditation.
Settle into a comfortable position.
Allow your hands to rest gently.
And let your shoulders soften.
Take a slow,
Comfortable breath in.
And gently breathe out.
Let your jaw relax.
Allow your whole body to settle.
You do not need to do anything right now.
There's nowhere else you need to be.
Simply be here in this moment.
Bring your attention gently to your breath.
With every breath out.
Allow yourself to release a little tension.
You do not need to change how you feel.
You do not need to make anything happen.
Just give yourself permission to pause.
You are here.
You are breathing.
This moment is enough.
Now gently bring your attention to your awareness.
I allow myself to release tension and welcome calm.
Take a comfortable breath in and slowly breathe out.
Allow yourself to imagine.
What it feels like.
To be peaceful.
Safe and relaxed.
There's no need to force a feeling or find the perfect words.
Simply allow yourself to be open to this possibility.
Silently or softly in your mind.
Repeat.
I am allowed to slow down.
I can meet this moment one breath at a time.
Let these words be a gentle reminder.
Of what you wish to welcome into your life.
Take another gentle breath in.
And breathe out slowly.
Allow your intention to settle with you.
Without pressure or expectation.
You do not have to accomplish everything today.
You can begin with one small step.
One thoughtful choice,
Or one moment of awareness.
Remember that you can return to this quiet space whenever you need it.
Begin to notice the space around you.
Feel the support beneath your body.
Gently move your fingers or toes when you are ready.
Take one final comfortable breath.
Carry the feeling.
Of peace,
Safety,
And relaxation with you into the rest of your day.
You can return to this moment of calm.
Whenever you wish.
