Today we're going to do a meditation using love in our bodies for relaxation and also being.
So start to find a comfortable position for your body.
Take some bigger breaths.
You might even take a really big stretch with your arms in the air or just stretch your head side to side or up and down.
Let the shoulders roll out.
Let the eyes close.
Give yourself a few more movements.
Breathing out your body,
Melting some of the stickiness in the neck,
Shoulders and back.
And take some fuller breaths into your belly and just see if there's anything else the body's asking for to help you arrive more in the present moment.
Let the back of your neck peel all the way up to the ceiling nice and long.
Using the inhale to lengthen and straighten your spine.
Sinking your hips further away from your ribs,
Relaxing and melting.
Maybe there's a few fuller breaths all the way into the top and all the way out to relax.
This is your time now so take your own way of settling in and connecting.
Swirling your breath in the back of the body.
Hips,
Thighs,
Melt.
Relax all the muscles of your face.
Really relax your jaw,
Eyeballs,
Forehead and scalp.
Notice that not just air comes in through your nose but also fresh energy with your breath bringing you down and into the heart space.
A meeting point between your awareness and the heart is bringing attention inward and outward.
.
Let your breath just work on your body,
Relaxing any unnecessary tension.
.
Swirling your breath in the sides of your belly,
The bottom of your belly,
Letting it all go.
.
.
Bring a bit more focus on the center of your chest.
While you let your whole face relax,
Instead of trying to think about the heart space,
Just feel it on your next breath or by placing a palm over the heart.
Feel the sensations of air rubbing the heart space.
.
And allow yourself to feel love,
The energy of the heart space.
You can always call to mind an image of something or someone or an experience that triggers love for you.
.
.
Breathing into the very center of the heart,
Sensing the little tremor,
The warmth,
The aliveness in the center of your chest.
.
You don't need to focus anymore,
Just taking full body breaths,
Allowing the relaxation of love to radiate into every cell.
.
Letting warmth and relaxation radiate through your muscles all the way up the face to your scalp.
.
Warm love,
Relaxation,
Spreading down through your belly and spreading through your back.
Until your whole body above the hips is smiling and shining with love.
Then feel the light,
The warmth,
And the relaxation of love spread from your hips down through your buttocks,
Pelvis,
Thighs,
Legs,
And feet.
.
Even if it's just 5%,
Notice the whole body is filled with this energy of love.
Scanning it with fuller,
Smoother breaths.
Belting your brain and your mind down into this love body.
.
Breathing through the heart space,
Allowing the thoughts and processes of your body to just move through without resistance.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Just scan your body if there's any remaining tensions.
Maybe there's some movement the body is asking for.
Taking this last minute here to connect and breathe and relax.
You might sense that love is like a background of being.
.
You might want to conclude with the palms in prayer or a hand on your chest.
Taking fuller breaths through the heart space.
Giving yourself the time here to further connect with anything that's alive for you,
Any intentions you want to set for the day or the week ahead.
Any contemplations of what is moving for you under the surface before moving into the rest of your day.
