A 20-minute guided meditation designed to help you achieve a deep state of relaxation. I created this guided meditation while I was studying in India, it was the first one I ever created, never did I expect to one day share it with the world. I hope it adds value to your life.
I highly recommend using headphones for a higher quality experience.
Gratitude & Love
Sit or lay down in a comfortable position feel yourself relax feel the tension the muscles releasing feel the skin of your scalp relaxing relax your jaw relax your tongue relax your eyebrows your forehead relax allow your shoulders to drop down release the tension from your forearm allow your sit bones to sink into the earth grounding you let go let go of all the unnecessary heaviness you carry let it go let it go now bring awareness to your breath as you take deep breaths the energy starts flowing down into your body from the head down to your toes and back into the universe feel with each breath more and more energy cascading down through your head your shoulders down to your chest down through the stomach calming and soothing as you find yourself more and more relaxed as you find yourself more and more relaxed allow your breathing to become deeper and deeper until you feel at one with the rhythm of the universe observe your chest rise and fall as you hear my voice softly in the background of your mind today the object of meditation is the flower the flower is an expression of life the flower represents femininity the flower connects us with infinity it's sent a proof of divinity choose your favorite flower and embrace its essence imagine its color maybe it is blue red or turquoise select any color of your choice with your full attention focus on the flower on its delicate open petals allow any thoughts that distract you to pass by bring your focus back to the colorful flower for the next 10 minutes focus on the flower focus on the flower focus on the flower it is all there is the flower is all there is the flower is slowly fading away the petals are closing the scent is fading the colors are disappearing bring your awareness back to your breath continue to breathe at your own pace allowing each breath to come and go as it may like waves in the ocean become a silent observer as the air flows effortlessly through your weightless body notice your lungs slowly fill with air when you breathe in and deflate when you breathe out without any conscious effort to change your breathing notice how your chest is rising and falling in complete harmony as you inhale and exhale prana flows through every cell of your body bring awareness back to your body remain with your eyes closed slowly move the toes of your left foot slowly move the toes of your right foot move both your feet open your left hand as much as you can feel each and every one of your fingers stretch open your right hand as much as you can till each and every one of your fingers stretch lengthen your spine move your shoulders up and down close both your hands and rotate your wrists lift your hips from side to side in slow motion move your neck up and down remain with your eyes closed place your hands together in the center of your chest on the heart chakra anahata rub your hands together place your hands over your closed eyes open your eyes to the darkness with your hands together in unity place them on the heart chakra anahata and gently bow your head gratitude
This was beautiful! I love the practice of focusing on one image in your mind and the simple movement at the end. Thank you!
