Hello,
This is Sophie Scott.
You're listening to one of my meditations to calm your nervous system.
This meditation will show you slow breathing techniques to help calm your autonomic and central nervous systems.
Changing the rhythm of your breathing signals to your body to deeply relax,
Slowing your heart rate and stimulating the vagus nerve.
Deep breathing triggers your parasympathetic nervous system to relax and help you calm down.
So let's begin.
Close your eyes.
Settle in and feel your body making contact with the surface beneath you,
Helping you to feel safe and grounded.
Take a deep breath in,
Then slowly breathe out.
Breathe in deeply and slowly breathe out.
Feel your shoulders relax.
Relax your jaw.
As you breathe in,
Place one hand on your heart.
Place the other hand on your belly.
As you breathe in,
Feel your belly expand and contract as you breathe out.
As you breathe in deeply,
Think back to a time when you felt safe and cared for.
Who were you with?
Where were you?
How did you feel?
Remember how it felt in your body to feel safe and loved.
And bring those same sensations back to your body now.
Breathe in deeply.
Breathe out deeply.
Now gently let that memory go and repeat silently to yourself.
I breathe in calm.
I breathe out peace.
I breathe in calm.
I breathe out peace.
And hold on to those feelings of calm and peace.
Breathe in deeply.
Breathe out deeply.
Now slowly open your eyes and give thanks to yourself for taking time to meditate today.
