Welcome to Making Meditation Mainstream,
10-minute meditations.
My name is Carrie.
The meditation theme for today is energy.
All of the vital functions that sustain our well-being in life require energy.
The body requires energy for everything it does,
From eating,
Breathing,
And sleeping to thinking,
Feeling,
And willing ourselves into action.
It comes from the food we eat,
The water we drink,
The sun that shines,
And the air we breathe.
It comes from the people and the places that we spend time with,
And the thoughts and the feelings that we have.
Energy can be seen,
Heard,
And felt through all of our senses.
When we take a moment to tap into the energy that surrounds us at all times,
There is unlimited potential.
Now settle yourself as we begin the meditation sequence.
Taking a moment now to just settle and relax.
Close your eyes.
Together let's take three breaths.
On each exhale,
Allow yourself to relax more and more.
Bring yourself into the present moment.
Allow the past to be the past and the future to be the future.
You are safe in this moment right now.
Place your attention on the top of your head and allow a deep sense of relaxation to cascade slowly down your face.
Feel your eyes become heavy.
Relax your jaw.
Stuff in your mouth and allow your tongue to sit comfortably in your mouth.
Allow your shoulders to drop away from your ears.
Completely relaxing your arms.
Release your stomach.
Feel your legs and feet become completely relaxed.
Now place your focus and awareness upon your breath.
Watching the inhale and the exhale of the breath.
Witnessing the rise and the fall of the chest.
Should you have thoughts or distractions,
Just acknowledge them.
Allow them to drift slowly away and calmly return your attention back to the rise and the fall of your breath.
Relax,
Relax,
Relax.
Are are are are are are are Take a moment now to contemplate the theme for today.
Thank you for joining Making Meditation Mainstream.
