Welcome. I'm Michelle Bradley, Certified exercise physiologist and health coach. This is a relaxing body scan meditation. Find a comfortable position. Close your eyes. And pay attention to your breathing, The air coming into and out of your body. If at any point during the meditation you find your thoughts wandering, Take notice and guide it back to my voice. It's natural for that to happen. And a relaxing meditation takes place when you simply listen to my voice, Feeling soothed and relaxed. Inhale, Hold it and exhale. Inhale a little slower, Hold it and slowly exhale. Inhale, Hold it, Slowly exhale. One more time, Inhale, Hold it, Slowly exhale. Allow your breathing to deepen. Inhale fill the chest, Allow the belly to expand. Exhale slowly, Easily. And then allow the breathing to return to normal. With each exhale, Feel your body soften. Starting with the top of your head, Feel as though everything is soothed. Exhale and soothe the top of your head like some warm gentle touch. Breathing down your forehead, Easing your temples, Erasing any tension in your eyes, Your cheeks, Your jaw.
