Welcome to mini meditations with me Ayesha.
So today we are going to start by making ourselves really comfortable.
So find a comfortable position either seated or lying down and we're going to start with a bit of a breathing exercise.
So taking a few deep breaths now in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose and as you breathe out through the mouth give a little sigh.
Good.
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose and as you breathe out through the mouth relaxing the shoulders.
Good.
Breathing in through the nose and a relaxing breath out through the mouth and now we return the breath to your normal breathing pattern as we relax the shoulders even further and now we bring our awareness into our body.
Becoming aware of what the body feels like.
You could even do a little scan starting from the head.
Relaxing the head as you move into the jaw.
If there is any tension in the jaw take a deep breath and release that tension as you breathe out and bring the awareness down into the shoulders.
Relaxing the shoulders even further.
Bringing the awareness further down into the abdomen.
We hold a lot of tension in the abdomen in the tummy.
So allowing that to just flow right out as the sound moves into every part of the body.
The body relaxes now and you move your awareness all the way down your body down down down into your feet into the toes.
You feel this warm glow.
Move all the way down your arms into your fingertips and all the way down your legs into your toes.
Relaxing the body deeply now.
Breathe and relax the body.
Breathe and relax the body.
Breathe and relax the body.
Relaxing the mind and if you notice any thoughts come up,
See the thought as a bird flying in the sky.
As you see the bird fly away,
So too your thoughts fly away.
So that your awareness stays in the body now.
Any thought that comes up,
We notice it like a bird in the sky and we see it fly away.
Gently guiding the awareness back into the body,
Into the breath.
Allowing the sound to move all through the body now.
Allowing the sound to move into every cell,
Every part of the body.
As you breathe and relax the body.
Breathe and relax the body.
Breathe and relax the body.
Bringing your awareness back into your position either seated or lying down in the space that you are.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes as you gently open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me on this meditation.
