Welcome to this 20 minute OM mantra meditation session.

Just going to drop straight into the awareness around the present moment.

Letting the past be the past and allowing the future to remain in the future for the moment and just dropping into the safety of the present moment.

Placing your awareness now on the top of the head,

The crown of the head.

Feeling a sense of warmth,

Relaxation coming to the top of the head.

Feeling that sensation starting to cascade down the sides of the head onto the temples.

As you're placing that awareness around the temple,

Just feeling a release,

More space coming to the temples and relaxation coming to that area.

A release of the forehead,

Just letting the eyebrows completely relax and allowing the eyes to sink heavy.

Letting go of the cheeks and the jaw,

Unlocking the jaw.

Feeling the tongue comfortably sitting in the mouth and breathing comfortably in and out of the nose.

Placing your focus now around the back of the neck,

Just feeling the neck starting to soften and loosen.

Still supportive but relaxing and dropping.

Allowing the shoulders to fall away comfortably from the neck and the ears.

Feeling the arms become heavy.

Feeling some space around the elbow joints and the wrists in between the joints.

Allowing the arms to droop with gravity to feel completely at ease and the hands completely relaxed.

Placing your awareness now on the chest.

Watching the rise and the fall of the chest with the breath.

Feeling the breath soften and that sense of relaxation starting to cascade down over the stomach area and really letting this area go.

Feeling safe to be completely at ease through the abdominal and stomach area.

Placing the awareness now on the top part of the back in between the shoulder blades.

That sense of relaxation dropping in between the shoulder blades and allowing them to find themselves comfortably.

Once again creating more space,

Allowing the vertebrae and the muscles around it to find their places.

You slowly unwind and relax the back all the way down until it reaches the base of your hips.

Opening the hips,

Allowing them to sink into the bed or the seat that you're sitting in.

Feeling comfortable and safe.

Allowing the legs to be completely at ease and heavy with gravity.

Opening up the knees and the ankle joints.

Breathing into the legs and as you're exhaling feeling them get heavier and releasing the feet.

And if you're sitting and feeling them pulled into the earth,

Held by the earth.

And if you're lying down and just feeling the feet find their way comfortably and naturally.

Just opening as they should.

Just acknowledging the entire body now being at rest.

The body being held in perfect equilibrium between gravity holding it down and the earth.

Turning our attention now to our breath.

Just acknowledge where the breath and the origin of the breath is occurring for you in this moment.

Is it rising through your belly or is it rising and falling within your chest?

Just taking a moment to consider your breathing.

Spending several moments just feeling into its origin.

We will now begin the OM mantra meditation.

Allow yourself to let go.

Surrender into the vibration of the mantra.
