Hello everyone. You're very welcome to this space of natural rest. This meditation will be very simple. It does what it says under 10. We will be taking about 30 minutes out of our day to ease into natural rest. Here there will be lots of natural pauses and silences for you to enjoy and gently sink into. Just taking a big deep breath for now. And sighing as you exhale out. As you have done this, Just naturally release down into the structure you are on bit by bit. Allowing the structure to take your weight. Each muscle releases into the structure like ice melting in the sun. Notice your head sinking into the structure or if it's in the air, Notice it just relax down. Gently softening. The little muscles of your eyes. Gently softening your jaw. Your tongue relaxing. All giving in to this support. Your neck releasing. It does so much work for you throughout the day. Your back softens down. Along with your spine. Moving around to get more comfortable if you wish. Softening into the support beneath you. Allowing it to take all of your weight. Softening. Softening. Softening. Giving the structure your chest's weight your abdomen's weight. Sink into it. Your hips sway too. Your legs wait. Allowing these parts to just unwind. They have done so much for you over the last while. Supporting you throughout each second of the day. It's time they have a break. Allowing the whole weight of your body to just sink even further into the structure It takes your weight. Like a sponge takes up water. So naturally. The body knows it's time to release to let go. It will naturally happen. Just like sleep naturally happens. Allowing the structure to support you at this time allowing your muscles to float on the structure. Allowing your bones to flow. Your head and brain to flow. Like you're in a buoyant infinite sea on a warm summer's day. In this buoyancy. There's nothing for you to strive for. No goals. It's just you floating on the gentle water. There's no authority in this sea. Everybody is on the same level. No hierarchy. No leaders. Here is where you become your own intuitive leader. Not concerned about the words I speak. It's only a gentle guide. Leaning into the naturalness that your body is allowing for what is to be here. What is in this buoyancy? If your thoughts are here. Allow them to be here. If there is discomfort. It's okay. It may be your body's natural way of regulating at times. Allowing it to be there. If there is comfort. Allowing it to be there. There is no right. No wrong. Just you. Floating in the infinite buoyancy. There's no particular goals that you need to have in mind. Allowing your body to just be here. Your body naturally floats. Naturally does what it wishes. Allowing your own intuition to guide you. Into your body's own naturalness. Wherever your awareness goes, Allow it to gently be there Observing from a distance as you were cocooned by the floating effect of the infinite sea. If you feel naturally inclined to notice your knee. Go there. Your thoughts. Go there. A certain pull in your chest. Go there. A warmness in your heart. Go there. Going only if you're drawn to it. Ink of a sea turtle in the infinite sea. It is naturally drawn towards the distant shore. But it doesn't hurry. It just lets the great ocean currents do the work. It observes the deep from a distance. It is cocooned in the water. As you are. Observing from a distance. There's nothing at all to do wrong. Because there is no right either. You dropping any conclusions or ideas that you have about meditation. They are no use here. The body knows naturally how to meditate. How to rest. We just need to step aside. Similar to how we step aside as we drift off to sleep. Our minds go elsewhere. Our bodies do what they know best. Which is natural rest. We have nothing to do here. Just floating in the infinite sea. Notice the floating experience your body is currently going through in this sea. How your weight is supported and protected. As light as a feather. No effort to maintain yourself at all. Notice that this sea gently transitions back into the structure that you were lying on. Going from a stable liquid structure. To more of a grounding solid structure. Gently bringing your whole body back to this structure. Feeling the edges of the body and where it meets the surface you are on. Feeling how supported you were in this meditation. By this structure and by the infinite sea. As this meditation comes to a close, Giving yourself a moment to take a big deep breath. And sighing on the exhale. For anybody who would like to stay longer within this space. You can do so. For others. Just bringing yourself back. Moving your body around slowly but gently. Going easy on yourself for this time and for the next while. No matter what happened during this meditation. Remembering there is nothing you could have done wrong. Alright. Wiggling your fingers and toes if you wish. When you're ready, Opening your eyes. You can come back to this meditation whenever you wish. Or take it with you into your life. The lessons and experiences you independently learn. All the best.
