Hello there,
This is Moira.
Here with a short guided meditation to help you just relax and let go of any physical tensions that you might be experiencing.
You can do this meditation either seated or lying down.
So wherever you are I'd like you to start letting yourself feel comfortable.
Take a nice deep breath.
And assuming that you're sitting in a chair,
Just feel your feet flat on the floor.
Or feel the support beneath you if you're lying down.
Just really feel your body in contact with the ground beneath you.
Just nice deep slow breaths at your natural right rhythm.
And now I'd like you to take your awareness,
Take your focus to your toes.
Scrunch your toes up.
And then release.
And now relax your ankles.
Your calf muscles.
Relaxing your knees.
Relaxing your thigh muscles.
And if any thoughts come up,
Just let them float away from you.
Just feel like they're floating away from you in an air bubble.
And relaxing your backside.
Your pelvic area.
And start to notice any tightness or tension that you might have in your back.
Breathing in deeply.
And as you breathe out slowly,
Slowly relaxing,
Letting go any tension or tightness that you might have had in your spine,
In your back.
Now notice your shoulders.
Lift them up.
Lift them up toward your ears.
And then release completely.
Feeling more and more relaxed.
Still breathing at your right rhythm.
Now it's time to relax your neck and your jaw muscles.
Taking another nice deep breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Let go of any tightness or tension that you may be holding in your neck and your jaw.
Now finally the top of your head.
I'd like you to lift your shoulders up once more.
Up toward the top of your head,
Your ears.
Rising them up and then let go.
As you release your shoulders,
Any remaining tensions can just let go,
Sinking down and flowing out of you.
You're doing something very special,
Very loving for yourself.
Take some more lovely deep breaths.
Allow yourself to enjoy this feeling of relaxation and calmness for a wee bit longer.
Now I'd like you to gently and slowly relax your shoulders.
Now I'd like you to gently and slowly bring your attention back to where you're sitting or lying,
Back to the room you're in.
Feel the air on your skin,
Noticing the sounds around you.
Wiggling your fingers and toes and when you're ready,
Opening your eyes and stepping into the rest of your day.
