Hello,
I'm Russell.
And today I'll be leading you through a short.
Relaxation Reset.
So just sit in a comfortable chair.
Where your feet can touch the floor.
And let's just relax into our bodies.
Let's feel the feet.
On the floor.
And the body.
And the chair.
As we relax our physical body.
We begin to relax our nervous system.
And we'll relax our nervous system.
We can come back to presence.
And when we come back to presence.
We have clarity and discernment.
So I just want you to breathe however feels good for you.
If a nice,
Slow,
Long,
Deep breath feels good,
Go ahead and do that.
If regular breathing feels good,
Continue that.
Just try to avoid short,
Quick breaths because that short,
Quick inhale can certainly activate the nervous system.
So just make sure your inhale is just nice and soft,
Whether it's long or shorter.
Just really come back to your feet.
And your seat on the chair.
As we can actually feel our physical body.
We start to drop out of the mind.
So good targets are the soles of the feet.
The base of the spine,
The tailbone,
Which I'll call the seat.
We're just going to begin.
And the pelvic region and just bring our awareness there and invite everything to soften and release.
Everything,
Not just muscle,
Muscle.
Connective tissue.
Hard tissue bone.
The fascia,
Everything.
And if you don't know what these terms even are,
It doesn't matter.
You're just bringing your awareness to the pelvic region and inviting everything that's often released.
And then we'll gently move down to the thighs.
And invite everything in the thighs to soften and relieve.
You can almost just imagine it melting,
Everything melting into the chair.
Maybe you can almost feel your thighs gently spreading.
On the surface of the chair.
You might actually get a little bit of a warmth or a tingly sensation.
Then we'll gently work down to the knees and just invite everything in the knees to soften and release.
The synovial fluid in the joints,
Everything.
Relaxing even from a cellular level,
Just inviting all the cells and all the bodily tissues to just soften,
Release,
Expand.
We'll work down to the lower legs and invite the lower legs to soften and release.
With special invitation to the calve muscles.
And just remember to keep feeling your feet in your seat.
Then gently down to the ankles.
Invite them to suck and release.
And then slowly down to the feet and just invite everything in the feet to soften and release.
The tops of the feet,
The bottoms of the feet,
The toes.
We'll bring special awareness to the soles of the feet.
Just invite them to activate and open up and you don't even have to know what that means.
This bringing awareness to them will have them activate,
Which opens up the connection.
To Mother Earth to start letting all the heavy energy drain.
But we did just open up a beautiful pathway for all this heavy energy that we accumulate throughout the day to drain down the body,
Down the legs,
Out the soles of the feet.
And as this happens,
It allows room for the living energies to come up,
Space for the living energies to come up through the soles of the feet and start to rejuvenate.
And live in.
Refresh us.
Just remember your breath,
Remember your feet,
Remember your seat.
Go ahead and stay here for as long as it feels good.
And have a sacred day.
