Transcript

Good morning friend!

My name is Jax from Stress to Zen and this is your morning meditation where we're just going to breathe a little bit,

Get grounded.

We got five minutes so let's get started.

If you haven't already,

Go ahead settle in a comfortable position.

Find a space where you're not going to be interrupted and let's give this time to you.

You deserve it.

This is your morning.

This is your time.

Close the eyes or you can keep the gaze slightly open looking down and go ahead and place the right hand on the heart and the left hand on the stomach and take this moment to arrive.

Maybe you'll wiggle the shoulders or move the body a little bit just to settle.

To really allow us to arrive in this space,

We're going to take three arriving breaths where we'll inhale twice through the nose and a big long open mouth exhale.

Let's release and get into that breath.

Ready?

Take two long inhales and open mouth exhale.

Do that again.

Inhale twice,

Open mouth exhale.

Last one at your own pace.

What does it feel like when the eyes are soft and your jaw is relaxed?

When the spine is aligned,

Shoulders melt down the back body,

Shoulders in line with the hips.

Allow the sides of the torso to float out of the hips as the belly relax.

As you allow your hips to anchor down,

Feeling completely supported by the surface beneath you,

Relax the feet and spread the toes.

Now draw your awareness towards your breath and take some deep full breaths here.

Inhaling through the nose,

Down the back of the throat and allowing that inhale to land into the lowest part of your lungs.

As you exhale,

Can you really empty out the lungs as the breath travels up through the throat,

Out through the nose.

These deep breaths,

You feel them in that body of yours.

Or maybe you feel the air above the lips and really letting this moment of breath be one of sound.

Really breathing with sound,

Soaking the breath in with your skin.

So on your next inhale,

Really expand the chest,

Fill up the lungs and on every exhale really find yourself softening,

Relaxing,

Melting the mind,

Feeling the air moving,

Opening,

Expanding those beautiful lungs of yours.

And on every exhale just noticing,

Noticing that breath release.

And notice what's present for you at this moment.

Notice any sensations happening in the body.

Maybe you feel the contact to the ground,

Feel the air in the room.

And if the mind's wondered,

That's okay.

Just simply observe it and then come back again to your breath,

Letting the breath pull you back into the simplicity of simply being.

And my question for you for this morning meditation is,

How do you want to show up today?

How do you want to show up today?

And I hope you can acknowledge that you've already shown up for yourself today by coming to this meditation.

Sometimes we think we need to be doing these big grand gestures when really taking five minutes in the morning to meditate,

That's showing up for yourself baby.

And I'm glad you did.

Let's finish our time with that same breath work we did at the beginning.

Two long inhales and one long releasing exhale.

Release it out,

Whatever you have with you right now,

Let's let it go to keep continuing on with our wonderful day.

Ready?

Two inhales,

Open mouth exhale.

Again,

Two inhales,

Open mouth exhale.

And then take the biggest inhales you've taken all day and then just sigh it out.

When you're ready,

You can start to wake your body up.

And friends,

Once again,

This is Jax from Stress Dissen.

Thank you so much for showing up for yourself by doing this meditation.

Come back to this meditation anytime you got five minutes to spare in the morning,

You want to breathe and you want to remember that you are amazing and you're showing up for yourself today.

Have an amazing rest of your day and I'll see you next time.

Jacks, once again, I have to thank you for a short meditation that spoke to my soul. How do I want to show up for myself today- So many things came to mind… First of all, I want to be mindful, I want to be kind , and want to be thankful. Especially as we go into this Thanksgiving week. I want to show up with a high vibe to Thanksgiving and with my dad passing away… There’s a division in the family. So I asked myself how do I want to show up for that… How do I go around the table and say what I’m thankful for when we are still grieving and there will be others in the room that have been so unkind. So how do I want to show up not just today how do I want to show up on Thanksgiving day… I want to show up with kindness, and being mindful of my actions, and with a high vibe. My struggle Jacks is, how do I say what I am grateful for… in the middle of my sorrow, because there are family members that I am so grateful for right now and others that I choose to stay away from to keep my vibe high. I am so sorry for this long review, however you speak to my soul and for that I thank you. So one last request, if you have anything on gratitude, I would love to listen. Thank you once again for speaking to me. On with my day and being mindful and keeping my vibe high.

Thanks Jacks! Always appreciate starting my day with you!

I love your energy. I am ready to have an amazing day and share that with the world. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏼✨💕
