Transcript

This is a body relaxation meditation aimed to soothe and release tension from the body,

Tension from the mind.

Gently close down your eyes and bring your presence to your physical body.

Take a deep breath here.

Envision your breath as calming waves of relaxation.

With every inhale you are inviting these calming waves to come in and with every exhale you're extending these waves throughout your body.

Each breath that you take is soothing and softening deeper and deeper into your body.

Bring your awareness to the top of your head,

Imagining a feeling of deep relaxation beginning to journey down from the top of your scalp into your face.

Let the muscles in your temple and forehead relax.

Allow the eyes and eyelids to soften and relax.

Invite your cheeks and jaw to soften and release the tongue inside your mouth.

Allow this peaceful feeling,

These gentle waves of softening and relaxation to flow down your neck and throat,

Deep into the muscles of your shoulders,

Soothing and releasing them.

As you breathe allow this peaceful feeling to flow down through your arms,

Relaxing down into your hands and your fingers.

Allow this peaceful sensation to flow through your chest,

Down into your belly.

As you breathe inviting your chest and belly to be soft.

Feeling as your chest and belly rise as you breathe in,

Fall as you breathe out.

Now bring your awareness to the back of your body,

Feeling these relaxing waves travel all the way down your spine and across every inch of your back.

Allow this softening sensation to release any tension or tightness.

Continue to send these softening waves down into your lower body,

Softening into your seat and your glutes,

Down into your thighs.

Feel these softening waves across the front and back of your knees.

Feel a softening in your calves,

Across your shins,

Down into your ankles and your feet.

Feel every one of your toes soften and relax.

Take a deep breath here.

Now continue to breathe,

Imagining the whole of your body now receiving these softening,

Relaxing waves.

Using your in-breath to scan for any areas that may require further softening and using each breath out to send that softening to release and relax even deeper than before.

From this softened place of relaxation we'll close with a grounding breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
