Welcome,
This is Anne-Marie Chung,
Your inspirational guide to more joy,
Ease and flow in your life.
Finding yourself in a comfortable seated position with your spine upright,
Tall and long,
Your shoulders are down and relaxed,
The crown of your head is reaching upwards and just taking a moment to settle in and forgetting about your to-do list for the moment and taking a few nice deep breaths.
So inhaling through the nose and then exhaling through the mouth.
Nice deep inhale through the nose and then exhaling through the mouth.
And continue to take nice deep breaths and noticing how your belly expands with each inhale.
And bringing your attention to the top of your head and noticing any sensations that you feel there.
And then noticing the back of your head and the sides and noticing your face and relaxing your jaw muscles and allowing the muscles around your eyes to soften and allowing your whole face to relax and soften.
And noticing your throat,
Your neck and releasing tension in your shoulders and letting that stress melt downwards through your arms,
Your elbows,
Your forearms,
Your wrists and your hands all the way down to your fingertips.
And continue taking nice long slow deep breaths that fill up your whole belly and noticing how the fabric of your clothing feels against your skin and noticing any temperature changes.
And continue to focus on your breath and noticing your back and your lower back and your hips and noticing how your weight feels in your chair or the floor wherever you're seated and releasing and relaxing and softening and noticing your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calf muscles and shins,
Your ankles,
Your feet and your toes.
And if you're seated in a chair notice how your feet are grounded down through the earth as you continue to take some nice long deep breaths filling up your whole belly and then noticing your whole body and releasing any tension that you feel anywhere and breathing into those areas that you feel tension and releasing and relaxing and softening and continue with your breath,
Nice long inhales and long slow exhales.
With each exhale you become more relaxed and releasing all the tension that you feel and just enjoying one last little moment of stillness.
And now I would like to offer you five minutes of silent meditation and then you can start to wiggle your toes,
Wiggle your fingers,
Maybe do some neck rolls,
Some shoulder shrugs,
Just doing anything to reawaken your body and coming back into the room.
And then if your eyes are closed you can gently flutter them open.
May we be well,
May we be safe,
May we be happy,
May we be peaceful and at ease.
Thank you.
