Hey loves,
Thank you for making time to reconnect here and most importantly,
Thank yourself.
In today's meditation,
We will use imagery that inspires your inner child to play and open yourself to the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter.
This is the Harry Potter common room relaxation meditation.
Find a comfortable position for your body.
If you are holding your wand,
Place it at a reach and have your hands rested in your lap.
Take a deep breath and close your eyes.
Let's start by bringing your awareness to your breath without trying to change how you are breathing.
However,
Alternate between normal and deep breaths a few times to yourself.
Notice any differences between normal breathing and deep breathing.
Notice how your belly expands with deep inhalations.
For my這ula meditation,
Separate the sticks from the wood.
Notice how shallow breathing feels compared to deep breathing.
Now practice your deep breathing for a few moments.
Place one hand below your belly button,
Keeping your belly relaxed and notice how it rises with each inhale and falls with each exhale.
Let out a loud sigh with each exhale.
Now let's focus on some deep breathing by inhaling peace and calm and exhaling any tension and anxiety.
And again,
Inhale deeply and slowly playfulness and magic and exhale deeply and slowly any depleting thoughts.
Do this to yourself a few more times as you relax more into this moment.
Now let your breath come to its natural rhythm.
Now let's focus on some deep breathing by inhaling peace and calm and exhaling any tension and anxiety.
You are in the Gryffindor common room or any other house you prefer.
A fire is roaring and you're playing chess with Ron and Hermione or any other characters you love,
Prefer and connect to.
You're sitting in a comfortable squishy armchair and you're wearing a Weasley or a cozy fall family sweater.
You're laughing with your friends as they teach you wizards chess.
You watch the autumn leaves fall to the ground outside the windows of the common room in the joy of the warmth of the atmosphere.
We are going to take around five minutes to be still in this moment.
Really embrace the coziness,
Warmth and magic of this image we created.
Remembering your breath.
If your mind wanders,
It's OK.
It is in the mind's nature to wander.
Just lovingly come back to your breath and the imagery of being in your house common room.
The next step is to take your imagination even further.
You are in the Gryffindor common room or any other house you prefer.
A fire is roaring and you're playing chess with Ron and Hermione or any other characters you love,
Prefer and connect to.
Really enjoy the comfort of your body.
Relaxing deeper as you settle more into this moment.
Coming back to the place you have imagined and really enjoy it for these last few moments as you breathe.
You are in the Gryffindor common room or any other house you prefer.
A fire is roaring and you're playing chess with Ron and Hermione or any other characters you love,
Prefer and connect to.
Really enjoy the comfort of your body.
When you are comfortable,
Open your eyes and bring this calm,
Peace,
And calm feeling into your body.
Bring peace and magic to your everyday life.
Thank you for making time to reconnect here and most importantly thank yourself.
Namaste.
