Hello,
My name is Mila and this is a guided Shavasana practice.
This is a practice to invoke rest and relaxation in our body.
So you can do this practice laying down or seated.
Just making sure that you have space to be comfortable and that the muscles can fully relax.
Now once you're laying down just moving arms a bit further away from the torso,
Letting the feet and hands relax.
I'm taking a very comfy position here.
And our Shavasana practice is a lot centered around acceptance,
Moving through every sensation that comes up and letting any thought that arises move on by being fully aware yet not engaged.
Take a moment to feel your entire body and then we slowly start scanning all the way downwards.
Take a moment to place your awareness on the crown of your head and slowly drifting down towards the skin of the forehead,
The muscles around the eyes,
The cheeks,
The jaw,
The mouth,
The entire face.
Just relaxing the throats and the collarbones,
The shoulders and all the way down the arms to the fingers.
Soft and relaxed.
Awareness to the center of the chest,
Down towards the abdomen,
The hips,
Down the legs,
Into the toes and the soles of the feet and they can relax.
Feel the entire front of your body.
I'm gonna feel the back of your body.
Feels if your bones are getting heavier within the body.
As if they're sinking closer to the ground.
Muscles willingly releasing as you breathe on naturally without any effort.
I'm just taking a moment to breathe here,
To feel and to let ourselves fully be.
Acceptance is a continuous process.
It's a continuous learning.
Just allowing the entire body to feel its tension,
To feel relaxed at other times,
At other points in our body.
To let our thoughts flood us and to let them come to a natural ease too.
Continuous process of feelings and thoughts coming and going.
Less welcoming and letting go without effort.
Just full acceptance.
Start breathing fully into the belly,
Into the chest.
Fully exhaling,
Allowing this movement to be your first movement.
Let any exhale,
Any sigh leave the body.
Finding some movement back in the hands,
The toes.
Maybe starting to move the head side to side.
Letting yourself slowly come back into a seat in your own time,
In your own way,
Finishing your Shavasana practice here.
