Rest In Your Body

This meditation is an invitation to rest in your body, letting go of thought and reaching. Guided by the breath, you’re supported to feel your whole body as one field of aliveness, allowing it to become an anchor you can stay with as you move gently back into your day.

Today's invitation is to simply rest. Nah, Just physically. But to rest inside your body. To come back from the edges. From the thoughts. From the reaching. And return to the soft sanctuary of your own skin. And so starting by finding a position. That feels deeply supported. You can be sitting. Are lying down. Somewhere where your body feels safe enough. To fully settle. Closing your eyes. Or letting your gaze soften downwards. And connecting in with your breath. Inhaling slowly through your nose. And exhaling softly through your mouth. Just continuing in this way And now. Letting your breath become softer. Slower. Quieter and with each breath. Letting yourself drop deeper into the body. No force. No pushing. Too surprising. Just being right here. Bringing your attention to your feet now. Not just thinking about them. But feeling them. From the inside. Feel their weight. They're warm. The tingling of life inside them. This is embodiment. And now moving your awareness slowly. To your calves and shins. Your knees. Your thighs. Letting each part soften and turn. Letting each breath. Pull you deeper inwards. Into sensation. Into the now into the truth of your body. Which never lies. Breathing into your hips now. Letting the breath swirl there. Like warm air. Letting the pelvis relax. Letting the belly soften. Coming home to yourself. With each breath. Feeling the rise and fall. Of the belly. The ribs move out to the sides, Back in. Letting yourself rest here. Staying with that breath. Feeling into your chest. Your shoulders. You're hard. Letting them grow heavy. Letting them rest. Continuing to experience that flow of breath. Through your system. And now bringing your attention to your spine. From the base. All the way up to the neck letting each vertebra feel supported. Not held tightly. Were cradled by gravity. Save to let go. Experiencing your whole system. Surrendering deeper into its support. And up into the neck the face. The space behind your eyes. Letting any tension dissolve. You don't have to hold it all together. Right now. Staying with that breath And now feeling into your whole body. Has one feel. Feel your aliveness. Quiet hum of your own life force. And just resting right here. Letting the breath continue like a slow tight staying here for as long as you feel to. Only when you're ready. Taking some gentle movement through your body. Before opening your eyes. And returning to your space. But even as you move from here. Let your body remain the anchor You got to stay in your body. As you go about your day. We get to move through life. In this way.
