This meditation is a yoga nidra meditation.
You will want to find a blanket and a pillow.
I recommend this.
A nice soft blanket.
And once you get situated,
Just come back to the recording and focus on your breath.
Just feel your breath move in through your nose,
Filling your stomach initially.
Your middle chest and your upper chest and then exhale fully.
Try to make your exhale twice as long as your in breath.
Good.
And again,
Feeling all of your cares and troubles fading away.
We're going to do a rotation of consciousness.
Starting off,
You want to put all of your awareness on your left big toe.
Your full awareness needs to go into your left big toe.
Moving to your second toe.

And your fifth toe.
Just observing the top of your left foot.
The ball of the foot.
The arch of the foot.

Relaxing these areas as you focus on them.

Inhale slowly.

Exhale slowly.
Notice the coolness of the breath as you inhale and exhale.
Notice how the breath is naturally warmed by your body.
Staying focused on this point where the breath moves in and out of the nose,
Making your breath twice as long on your exhale as you do on your inhale.
Now observing the breath in the back of your throat.
Notice the air moving in through the back of your throat,
Continuing to fill your stomach and your chest and exhale as you do so,
Fully surrendering into this moment.
Now observing your breath in your chest.
Just feeling your chest rise and fall with each breath,
Fully surrendering into this present moment.
Continuing to make your exhale twice as long as your inhale.
Now observing your breath in your stomach.
Noticing your abdomen gently rising and falling with each breath.
Continuing to make your exhale twice as long as your in breath.
Allowing yourself this time to fully surrender into this moment.
We have such hectic busy lives.
Giving yourself the gift of this present moment.
You Good.
Now slowly allow yourself to wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes.
Just bringing yourself back to the present moment.
And take this moment for gratitude.
Slowly push yourself up and really take the time to enjoy your day.
You
