Short Relaxation

During our busy life’s we may experience stress, anxiety and insomnia which can have profound effects on our body and wellbeing. Yoga Sleep (Yoga Nidra), an ancient tantric method, is an excellent tool to bring balance to your mind and body. They say a single hour of this blissfully deep relaxation is as restful as four hours of conventional sleep.

Over the next few minutes,

I will guide you through a relaxing meditation.

This is time for you.

You do not need to do anything.

Just allow yourself this time and space.

Time for deep relaxation.

You are fully safe and secure.

So let's get comfortable now.

Lay on your back in Shavasana with your feet apart,

Arms away from your body and your palms facing up.

Ensure that you are fully comfortable.

Move the body slightly now from side to side,

Settling the body into the earth.

Close your eyes and fully relax.

I want you now to focus on your breath.

Become aware of your inhalation and note the exhalation.

Focus on your inhalation and exhalation.

If any thoughts come into your mind,

Greet them,

Thank them and just let them float away.

There is no need to engage in a discussion with your thoughts.

Release any tension you may be feeling.

Any tension is melting away.

And you are becoming more and more relaxed.

So let's relax now deeper and deeper.

I'm going to count down 5 to 0 and as I count you will feel more and more relaxed.

5 you are relaxed.

4 you are relaxing more and more.

3 you are very relaxed.

2 you are deeply relaxed.

1 and 0 you are feeling fully relaxed.

Let's take a few moments now to enjoy this deep relaxation.

Your body and mind are fully relaxed.

Your body is heavy,

The limbs are heavy and you are sinking deeply into the earth.

You may wish to continue with this relaxation until you are ready to return and continue your day.

So when you are ready,

Let's slowly return to the body.

Take a couple of deep breaths.

And let's get some movement back into the body.

Gently wriggle the fingers and the toes.

Slowly move the hands and the feet.

And slowly stretch in the arms above the head.

Stretch from the fingertips to your toes.

And when you are ready,

Slowly push yourself up to a seated position.

You are relaxed,

Fully aware and fully present.

Namaste.
