Transcript

Good morning, Everybody! Welcome to this morning body scan. Take a moment to arrive in this new day. Find a comfortable position, Sitting or standing. And gently close your eyes if that feels right for you. Then take a slow, Deep breath in. And a deep breath out. Allow yourself to be here exactly as you are. There is nothing you need to do, Nowhere you need to be. Just take these few moments for yourself. So now, Bring your attention to the top of your head. Notice any sensations, Any tension, Or simply the feeling of being present. Then slowly move your awareness down to your face. Relax your forehead, Soften the space around your eyes and gently release your jaw. Bring your attention to your neck and shoulders. Notice if you're holding any tension here. With your next exhale, Allow your shoulders to soften and drop. Now become aware of your arms, Your elbows, Your hands and your fingertips. Notice their temperature, Their weight. Or any subtle sensations. Now get down to your chest. Feel your breath moving in. And moving out. There is no need to change anything. Simply observe the natural rhythm of your breathing. Then move your awareness to your belly. Notice how it gently rises as you breathe in and falls as you breathe out. Now you're back from your upper back down to your lower back. Notice how your body is supported in this moment. Then slowly move into your hips, Your thighs, Your knees, And your lower legs. And finally, Bring your attention to your feet. Feel the contact with the floor beneath you. Feel grounded, Steady, And connected to this present moment. And now, Take a moment to notice your whole body as one. From the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Take a deep breath in, Down from your feet. Through your body. Up to your head. And breathe out. From your head down through your body. Back to your feet. Feel the ground. The temperature around you. Is there any sensation in your body? Does your body feel different? Before this body scan, Before this meditation. And now ask yourself gently. What do I need today? There is no need to find an answer right now. Just give yourself a moment to listen. And when you're ready, Slowly blink your eyes open. And bring your awareness back to the room. Carry this feeling of presence and calm with you into your day and come back whenever you want to. Just remember, You are here. You are breathing. You are ready to begin. Have a beautiful day!
