Hello friend.
We're going to take a moment today to find a little stillness and create some calm in our bodies.
Thank you so much for showing up and for allowing me to guide you.
Let's begin in a comfortable position.
If possible,
I recommend lying down for this particular practice.
But anything will work,
So do what feels best for you.
Really any position that feels like a good place to get super cozy for a few minutes where your body can fully relax.
And once you make your choice,
Take your time getting there as you gently invite your awareness to make its way toward the present moment.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze when you've landed and just start to notice.
Notice how you are feeling today in your body,
In your mind.
Notice any sounds around you.
Notice how the air feels against your skin.
How your body feels against the surface beneath you.
Notice your breath.
Maybe you even notice your heartbeat.
It's really beginning to slow down here.
To get quiet.
To become still.
Gently observe the thoughts passing through your mind.
Allow them to come and go freely.
There's no need to shut them out.
But we don't need to follow them either.
Just notice the thoughts as they come up.
And allow them to keep moving through the mind.
Bringing your awareness back to presence as best as you can.
Bring your awareness back to your body now.
Growing heavier with each breath.
Softly surrendering to the earth beneath you.
Feeling supported.
Grounded.
Held in this moment.
Notice any areas of tension or tightness in your body.
Any areas that might be struggling to relax.
Take a deep breath in.
Exhale.
Let it go.
Soften.
With each cycle of breath,
Your body becomes more and more relaxed.
Your body becomes more and more relaxed.
Really melting into stillness.
Slowly bring your awareness to your toes now.
Relax through all your toes.
Through the soles of your feet.
Your feet.
The tops of your feet.
Your heels.
Both of your feet relaxed.
You are breathing in.
And breathing out.
Relaxing through the ankles.
The shins.
The calves.
Softening the knee and the back of the knee.
The front and back of your thighs.
Both of your legs now relaxed.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Grow heavy through the hips.
The pelvis.
The glutes.
Your entire lower body relaxed.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing out.
Moving up the spine.
Relaxing the low back.
The mid back.
Softening the belly.
The side body.
Your upper back.
Shoulder blades relaxed.
Rib cage and collarbone relaxed.
Your entire torso relaxed.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Soften through the shoulders.
The upper arms.
The elbows.
The lower arms.
The wrists.
Relaxing the palms of your hands.
Fingers soft.
Hands heavy.
Both of your arms relaxed.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Moving back up the arms to the traps.
Soft and relaxed.
Relaxing your neck.
Your throat.
Your jaw.
Softening your cheeks.
Your ears.
Your forehead.
Your scalp.
Your eyes softly resting in their sockets.
Your entire skull relaxed.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Your entire body is relaxed and heavy now.
Sinking into the surface beneath you.
Gently held in this present moment.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Start to deepen your breath.
Start to deepen your breath a little bit.
Bringing soft and gentle movements back to the fingers and the toes.
Waking up through the body.
Emerging from stillness.
Bring your hands to rest on your heart or your belly.
Feel the sensation of your hands on your body.
Thank yourself for showing up.
Let's take one final deep breath in together.
Inhaling deeply.
Exhaling completely.
Thank you so much for allowing me to guide you today.
I look forward to many more peaceful moments together.
Until next time,
All my love.
Take care.
