Transcript

Welcome to my healing relaxation meditation.

So let's first of all start by just getting yourself into a comfortable position.

You could be laying down or you could be seated with your feet flat on the floor.

I'll just leave you for a few moments just to get yourself comfortable.

Take time just to adjust your clothes,

Adjust the position of your body.

Slowly just allow the eyes to shut.

We're just going to focus first of all on your breath.

So I want you to just be aware of that breath moving in and out.

I'm not trying to change how you're breathing in anyway,

We're just observing the breath.

If you're watching your body from the outside in,

Just allowing your breath or your body to breathe for you.

The next time you take a breath in,

Just breathing in really deeply,

Cleansing breath in.

As you breathe out just see if you can release any tension from your body.

I want you to imagine you're just stepping into a lovely warm bathtub.

The water is just covering your feet so just feeling some relaxation beginning at the bottom of your feet.

You may also feel the sensations or imagine the sensations of a tingling in the bottom of your feet.

Just that your feet feel calm and relaxed and loose.

Imagine that that water in your bath is just filling a little bit more just to spread over your feet and up to your ankles.

Just imagine that relaxation.

Just easing up,

Even higher now above your ankles,

Just flowing into the lower legs.

Just up to your knees.

Continuing up now to the upper legs and your thighs.

Just imagine that relaxation just starting to spread now,

Moving up from your hips and to the pelvis.

As your bath becomes fuller,

Just feeling the whole of your lower body just totally relaxed,

Surrounded by that beautiful warm sensation.

Just bring that sensation of that lovely relaxation now into your stomach and your lower back.

Into your chest and your upper back.

Just allow the upper arms to relax.

And your elbows,

Your forearms,

Your wrists.

Just feel that relaxation spreading into those hands.

Relaxing the palms of your hands,

The backs of your hands.

Every finger in each thumb,

Your hands just feeling pleasantly warm and heavy and relaxed.

Just feel your body relaxing even further now.

Just imagine yourself just sinking into your warm bath,

Up as far as your upper chest.

Just allow the shoulders to be encased in that lovely warm bath.

You might find that the collar bones just gently relax and widen.

Just allow the shoulders to become a little bit more easy,

Just slowly sliding down.

Allow your upper back to relax even further.

Sinking down into your bath,

Just allow the shoulders to gently sink down into your neck.

Just feel that relaxation just continuing to spread to your chin,

Back of your head,

Your mouth,

Your cheeks,

Your nose,

Your eyes.

Just feel those eyelids become heavy and relaxed.

Just notice your eyebrows relaxing,

Your ears relaxing,

Your forehead.

Your forehead feels cool and relaxed.

Let's see if we can let that relaxation spread further,

Just to the top of your head.

The entire body now is relaxed and calm.

Feel that relaxation flowing throughout the whole of your body,

From your head to your feet.

You may even find you can relax even further as you slowly let that spine relax completely.

Maybe starting from the top of your spine,

Mix your head,

Just feel that relaxation.

Feel the muscles just giving up their hold and releasing.

Feel that relaxation spreading down your spine,

Down your neck,

Your upper back,

Your middle back,

Your lower back.

All the way down to your tailbone at the bottom of your spine.

Just notice all of those muscles in your back,

Just relax completely.

Just feel that relaxation flowing throughout the whole of the body.

Let's invite you to take a breath in.

The next time you take a breath,

Just breathing in,

Just holding that breath now.

Just allow all those muscles to relax totally and then just let the breath flow gently from your nose or your mouth.

When you feel ready,

Take another deep breath,

Just breathing in that relaxation,

Holding that breath just as long as you need to.

Slowly,

Just let that breath flow out,

Just releasing any tension.

Continue with that breath,

Just breathing slowly and smoothly as you mentally scan your body,

Just looking for any remaining tension.

If you notice any tension,

I want you to focus on that area.

Just see if you can direct that relaxation to flow into that area and just let that tension be carried away.

Just imagine that the air you're breathing can cleanse your body,

Just removing that tension.

Imagine that each breath carries relaxation.

Just picture that tension in your body,

Just leaving as you breathe out.

I want to leave you for a few moments just to enjoy that feeling of relaxation for a few more moments.

So maybe just creating an image in your mind of your current state of being.

Maybe imagining a physical ailment that troubles you.

It might be pain or illness or injury.

It might be something that's been diagnosed or it may just be a problem that hasn't been identified yet.

But whatever it is you'd like to heal,

Just imagine that problem in your mind just now.

And just focus on the specific location in your body where that problem is present.

I want you to see if you can imagine what that little problem looks like in your body.

Maybe noticing it as a colour.

What colour would it be?

Does it have a texture?

So once you have that image of that problem area in your mind,

I want you to see if you can let that light of relaxation just flow through the body and direct it towards that area that you've identified,

That specific location in your body.

Your body has many ways of healing itself and just seeing that healing relaxation helps promote your immune system,

Helps promote strength,

Promotes growth of healthy tissue,

Removes toxins and waste,

Just clearing up your body.

Just imagining that light of healing,

Relaxation flowing and swirling,

Just touching the areas or the edges of that problem area in your body.

Maybe noticing small pieces of that area just being carried away by the healing relaxation.

Just allow those pieces just to leave your body as you breathe out.

Just breathe in health and healing and calm.

Just breathe out tension,

Illness or any problems with your body.

Just allow that healing light relaxation just to continue to swirl around that area.

Maybe just seeing if that area becomes smaller.

Even just imagining that area just completely enveloped in relaxation.

Just seeing that healing relaxation making the problem area lighter and lighter,

Just carrying away anything that's not good for your body.

Imagine your immune system is working to heal you.

Just picture the cells you need going to the places they need to go,

Working as they need to heal your body.

Imagine the healing relaxation flowing,

Coursing itself through your body.

Just picture your body just entirely filled with relaxation.

Also notice that that problem area is just healing,

Becoming lighter,

Just filled with relaxation.

That healing light is just carrying away any discomfort,

Just allowing your body to heal itself.

Take a cleansing breath in,

Just breathe out what your body does not need.

Breathing in relaxation,

Just breathe out all the old air.

Just allow yourself to relax for a few moments and just imagine that healing process going on inside your body.

But also be confident that your body has this wonderful ability to heal itself.

Feeling calm,

Much peace.

Very slowly,

We're going to allow ourselves just to ease out of this relaxing meditation.

So we need to start to become aware of sounds around you.

Just picking out sounds in the room you're in.

And then becoming more and more aware of your physical body,

Just sitting on the chair or resting on your bed or the floor.

Slowly bringing that awareness into your fingertips,

Your toes,

Maybe even to your head.

Just slowly bringing a little bit of movement in,

Just maybe stretching out.

Slowly becoming more awake,

Just allowing yourself just to leave this relaxation.

And then already just slowly just allow the eyes to open,

Just gazing down towards the floor softly,

Opening those eyes.

Just taking in your surroundings.

Maybe taking one last full deep breath in,

Just let that breath just release tension one last time.

Slowly,

Fully waking up back into your day.
