This guided meditative experience will teach you to release your jaw, and your pelvic floor, hips, and thighs. It stimulates your Vagus Nerve, and is a great way to begin on your journey to focus your mind, and calming your nervous system. It is an exclusive meditation from one of the online programs I offer and appreciate it so much to know how it benefits you. Listen to it in the morning, or at night, to calm and energize all at once! It is powerful as it's based on our body's physiology. Music by Peter Sterling

Guide a meditation to release our jaw and our pelvic floor.

Did you know that your jaw muscles affect how tense or tight your pelvic floor is?

Sometimes we suppress our emotions,

We hold back our feelings or what we wish to say.

We hide,

Expressing our true selves.

Our jaw becomes tight or when we're stressed out or if we're harboring hurts or angry feelings and we're not allowing them to be expressed.

It tends to hold in the jaw and when the jaw is tense,

The pelvic floor tenses up.

If you've ever seen a scared dog,

They pull their tail down.

These are signs of fear.

Allow this guided meditation,

This process of self-discovery to awaken in you the connection between your jaw,

Tension and your pelvic floor.

And allow it to guide you to release,

To relax your jaw and your pelvic floor.

This exercise is going to allow you also to relax,

To receive more pleasure,

To allow your sexual energy to flow.

And it's going to influence you also to be able to orgasm with more ease.

It will guide you to practice expressing yourself through your sounds and liberating those emotions.

They may arise.

You may start to even experience old memories come up.

Invite yourself to be the witness of all the different sensations or memories as they arise,

Staying present to your sounds.

Lay down in a comfortable position for this meditation,

Leaning back into the support surface.

Inhale deeply.

Drawing all your attention right now to be brought to your throat,

To your jaw.

Take a moment to swallow.

Notice how this feels.

As I swallow,

Does my body feel tense or relaxed?

Open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out.

Does it feel tense to open my mouth and stick my tongue out or does it feel relaxed?

Be the witness of all the sensations.

You're like a video camera noticing how you feel.

Allow your eyes to remain closed for this meditation,

Bringing your awareness now to your neck.

Feel free to touch your neck and investigate.

How do my neck muscles feel as you palpate yourself and you can turn your head to the right,

Turn your head to the left?

Do I hold any tension in my neck or jaw?

How do I feel in this part of my body?

Allow yourself to be curious.

This is what Tantra is all about,

Coming into our lives in a childlike state of wonder.

How do my muscles feel around my jaw and my neck?

Deep breath in through the nose.

Exhaling,

Opening your mouth.

When we ah,

We stimulate the nerves to also relax the pelvic floor and jaw.

The craniosacral system,

The relaxation response.

If you're a person that has had any trauma or chronic stress or chronically hard on yourself,

This exercise is very helpful for you and will cause you to reset your nervous system.

As you lay there,

Inhale deeply through the nose,

Inflating your lungs,

Your ribs,

Your belly and your pelvic floor.

Open up your legs.

Inhale deeply now through the nose.

Hold your breath.

When you can't hold any longer,

Exhale the sound ah.

Opening your jaw as wide as you can.

You can create this sound as loud as you wish,

As long as it's relaxing,

Bringing all your awareness to how the sounds feel.

The sound of ah in your jaw.

Inhaling through the nose.

Expanding once again.

Hold your breath for as long as you can.

You're doing great.

Minimum effort to hold your breath.

When you can't hold any longer,

Ah.

Inhale through the nose,

Expanding,

Elongating.

Filling yourself up.

Hold it there.

Exhale,

Ah.

Consciously creating your ah sound now.

Inhale deeply,

Expanding and elongating through the nose.

Hold your breath.

Ah.

Inhaling through the nose once again,

Long inhalation through the nose,

Expanding even deeper.

Hold your breath,

Noticing how your jaw feels,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

Your abdomen,

Your pelvic floor and hips staying expanded to the point where you can't hold it any longer and allowing that ah.

Inhale through the nose.

Exhale,

Ah.

Inhale through the nose.

Follow me.

Exhale,

Ah.

Eyes are closed.

Notice the vibration of ah.

Next one,

We're going to open up the jaw even more and stick out the tongue.

Deliberately sticking out the tongue,

Opening the jaw.

Notice how it feels to ah.

Pause now,

Simply noticing the sensations of ah,

Of these breaths and the impact that they have on you.

Inhaling through the nose once again.

We're going to create a little quicker ah.

It goes like this.

Inhale,

Long and slow.

Exhale swiftly.

And pause,

Letting go of breathing any certain way,

Relaxing your jaw,

And noticing how it feels.

And now we're going to inhale a quick inhale and a passive ah.

Similarly to when people do breath work,

Laying there now and following me.

Inhale,

Exhale.

Inhale,

Ah Allow yourself to feel surrendered.

Notice how your jaw and your pelvic floor and hips feel released,

Renewed,

Soft and supple.

Passive.

Light.

Practice these breaths.

Inhaling through the nose.

Exhaling ah.

For as many times as you'd like now.

Feeling your voice,

Your sounds.

They cause your whole nervous system to reset and relax and unwind.

Inhale through the nose.

Ah.

Thank you so much for this! I’m hypertonic and it’s so helpful I use this meditation regularly and is very beneficial and appreciated. Today though for the first time I must of done it wrong as I went tingly like I was hyperventilating. Any insight to why would be appreciated 🙏🏻 thank you.

Amazing! I'd like to stick to that and make it a routine. It relieved my neck pain-back-pain due to my TMJ... I wasn't able to vocalise when breathing out because I wasn't entirely on my own and so felt a bit embarrassed and shy (people might think you are going nuts!). I'll try it again in a more isolated context. Thank you very much!
