Okay,
Welcome.
Let's start.
Find a comfortable position.
If you need to do any adjustment of your posture,
Just move as your body is asking for.
Take a moment to arrive.
Allow the surface beneath you to fully support your weight.
And when you are ready,
Gently close your eyes.
If they remain open,
You can soften your gaze.
We are going to take a slow,
Deep breath in through our nose and exhale through our mouth.
Let the breath begin to settle you.
Again,
Inhale and exhale,
Releasing the outside world.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Nothing you need to do.
This time is for you.
Let's continue breathing as usual.
No need to force.
No need to change anything.
Bring your attention to the top of your head.
Notice any sensations there.
Without effort,
Invite that area to soften.
Let the scalp relax.
The forehead smooth out and the space between the eyebrows soften.
Relax the eyes,
Resting gently in their sockets.
Soften the cheeks and clench the jaw.
Let the tongue rest comfortably in the mouth.
And now allow this sensation to move down into the neck.
Release any hold in there.
Let the throat soften,
Creating a space for easy breath.
Drop the shoulders down and away from the ears.
Feel their weight.
No need to hold anything up.
Let the relaxation flow down the arms,
Through the upper arms,
The elbows,
Forearms,
Wrists,
And into the palms of your hands.
Let the fingers rest naturally.
Nothing to grip,
Nothing to control.
Bring awareness to the chest.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of the breath.
Allow the chest and the upper back to soften.
Release all the tension.
Allow the chest to soften.
Soften the space around the heart.
Let the breath move freely here.
Bring attention now to the belly.
Allow it to relax completely.
Release any holding or tension.
Let the relaxation completely let go all your worries and all your tension.
Let's move into the lower back and hips.
Feel the pelvis become heavy.
Support it.
Now,
Guide this sense of ease down the legs,
Through the thighs,
Your knees,
And into the ankles.
Relax your feet,
The soles,
Heels,
And toes.
Your entire body is now relaxed.
Support it at rest.
Take a moment to sense your whole body at once,
From head to toe.
Breathing.
Present.
Settled.
Now,
Gently bring your awareness to the center of your chest,
The heart space.
You may place a hand there if it is feeling comfortable.
And just notice the steady rhythm of your heart.
Quietly,
Faithful,
Moment after moment.
Take a breath in,
And as you exhale,
Silently say,
Thank you.
Begin to invite a feeling of gratitude.
There is nothing,
There is no need to search for something big.
Start simply.
Gratitude for your breath,
For your body,
For the fact that you are here giving yourself this time.
Just notice how gratitude feels in the body.
Perhaps warmth,
Softness,
A gentle opening.
And if it feels natural,
Bring to your mind something or someone you are grateful for.
A person,
A place,
A memory,
Or even a lesson learned.
You don't need details,
Just the feeling.
With each inhale,
Imagine breathing gratitude into the heart.
And with each exhale,
Allow it to expand gently through the chest like a soft blow.
If other emotions arise,
Welcome them with kindness.
Gratitude doesn't require perfection,
It simply asks for presence.
Now,
Imagine the crystal singing bowls born from the elements of the heart as instruments of harmony and resonance.
As their sounds begin,
Imagine the vibrations moving through your relaxed body,
Melting the open space of your heart,
Just amplifying balance,
Clarity,
And gratitude.
You don't need to listen with the mind,
Listen with the body,
With the heart.
If you wish,
Set a simple intention for this session.
I am open,
I receive,
I allow.
Hold it lightly and take one final slow breath in,
And a long,
Gentle breath out.
And now,
Allow yourself to fully receive the healing vibrations of the crystal bowls.
Let's begin to noticing the quiet that follows the sound.
Feel the stillness in the room.
Notice how your body feels now.
Perhaps calm,
Open,
Or softly vibrating.
There is nothing to change.
Simply notice.
Let's bring your attention to your breath,
Feel it moving naturally in and out.
Let's take one slow breath in through the nose,
And a long,
Easy breath through our mouth.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Supporting your body.
Bring awareness to your feet,
Grounded and connected to the earth.
Feel your legs,
Steady and supported.
Notice the belly,
Soft and relaxed.
Bring awareness to the chest and heart,
And sense any openness or warmth that remains.
Let the shoulders relax,
Feel your neck,
Your jaw,
And your relaxed face.
Sense your whole body at once,
Present,
Settled,
At ease.
Now,
Gently bring gratitude into your heart.
Gratitude for the sound,
For the stillness,
For your body's ability to receive.
And you might silently say to yourself,
Thank you.
Notice what you wish to carry with you from this experience.
Maybe a feeling,
A quality,
Or a sense of calm or clarity.
And allow it to gently anchor within you.
And exhale all the tensions,
All the worries out.
I invite you to begin with a small movement.
Maybe wiggle your fingers and toes.
Stretch if it feels comfortable.
And when you are ready,
You can open your eyes and try to carry this sense of presence and balance with you as you move into the rest of your day.
When you feel comfortable,
You can turn around the side that you feel more comfortable with and just stay there for some minutes.
And when you feel ready,
You can come back to the seated position.
How are you feeling?
More relaxed?
Okay,
Thank you for all of you to come.
