Welcome to a guided meditation from Light Heart Collective.
I'm Larissa and I'll be your guide today.
Thank you for joining me.
Today's meditation will be a gentle body scan to help us relax and de-stress for sleep.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position.
Maybe that's laying down and just maybe feeling the support of any pillows,
Blankets,
Or whatever is around us.
Feeling to just ground down in your space and be noticing where your body is resting,
What's underneath your head or legs.
Now turning to our breath as our anchor,
Just noticing the gentle inhales and exhales.
Take a few deep breaths together,
Slowly inhaling through the nose and exhale out through the mouth.
Inhaling and exhaling.
Inhaling and exhale.
Let's bring our attention to our toes and feet.
You just gently wiggle the toes,
Just release them down,
Letting them fall wherever they may.
Breathing through the heels,
Our ankles,
And our shins.
Coming to our knees and just releasing down.
Maybe you just notice the weight in the thighs releasing down.
Taking the space to just relax and release any tension in our legs.
Letting tension in our back.
Letting go,
Drawing down.
To our belly,
Filling up with air in the stomach.
And as you sigh out,
Can you release any further into the space?
Coming to our arms,
Fingers,
Letting each finger relax.
Letting go of any tension.
Just letting each part of our fingertips lay wherever they lay in this moment.
Just noticing the shoulders,
The support that they give us.
Just letting them draw down.
Getting down to your space of rest.
Noticing what we feel in our neck,
Any sensations.
Letting it be,
Then maybe giving ourselves space,
Draw down,
Relax further.
Coming to our head,
Just letting the weight of our head sink further into whatever we're laying on.
Noticing what is supporting our head,
Releasing further down.
Maybe you relax the eyelids,
The mouth,
Letting go of tension in our jaw.
Gently giving ourselves space to let go and rest.
Letting each breath relax you even further.
Continuing to let go of any other tension that you notice in your body.
Maybe letting go of any tension or thoughts in our mind from today or tomorrow.
And just being and giving our body and mind space to rest.
And with this at your own pace,
With your own breath,
Wishing you rest.
Thank you for joining me.
