Thank you for finding some time to join me today.
Even this brief body scan can make a big difference in how you will feel after it.
You can close your eyes now and inhale slowly and deeply.
Make some adjustments to feel more comfortable.
And on your next exhale,
Notice which areas of your body are drawing your attention.
People are all different and the way you are made and the way you move throughout the day might result in using some parts of your body more than others.
As you keep breathing slowly,
You can feel your whole body.
We can start by bringing your attention to the crown of your head,
The tallest point of your body.
And begin to calm down slowly,
Noticing your forehead.
With your eyes still closed,
You can gently frown or move your eyebrows up and down to feel the small muscles releasing any tension.
And as you feel the air flowing through your nostrils,
You move your tongue to relax it,
Especially the back of it so it does float in your mouth.
And as you separate your teeth,
You feel your jaw unclenching on both sides.
You can bring your awareness to the back of your neck.
A deep inhale and a slow exhale melt all the tension away.
And as your shoulders slowly lower,
You can feel your upper back and your chest rises and falls with every breath.
And while you become more and more aware of your body,
You can start feeling your heartbeat rippling through your chest,
Your arms,
Your palms,
Your fingers.
And you might feel tingling or numbness.
And as you keep breathing deeply into your belly,
You feel your abs and lower back moving with every breath.
And you feel the weight on your hips connecting your upper body with your lower body,
Your glutes,
Your groin,
Your inner thighs.
Spend a moment to feel your quads in equilibrium with your hamstrings,
Your knees would support you,
Your calves often carrying some of the leg's tension.
And as you slightly slow down your breathing,
You can feel them in balance with each other and with your shins.
You can now bring your focus to your ankles,
You might feel some tingling or numbness.
And as you bring your awareness to where your toes connect to your feet,
You start noticing the soles of your feet which carry your weight during the day.
And as you notice which parts are tenser,
You can breathe in deeply.
And as you exhale,
You can find how some small movements can relax them.
And you can start taking three deep breaths while you follow my voice.
You start feeling your whole body.
You can notice how you are more aware of it now.
And how the areas that were tenser before feel different right now.
The more you practice,
The more you will be able to relax your body without even thinking of it.
I hope this makes you feel better and better every day.
Thank you for sharing your time with me today.
See you soon.
