Transcript

Find a quiet place to sit.

Do what you can to prevent distractions.

Be seated in any meditative posture and allow yourself to be comfortable.

Activate your abdominal region to maintain a straight back.

Place your hands on your knees or palms facing up if you wish to lay down for this practice.

Now gently close your eyes and mouth.

Let's start by taking a deep breath in through the nose and out through the nose.

Rest your attention on your breath.

It will be your anchor throughout this meditation.

If thoughts arise,

Acknowledge them and let them go.

Simply return to the breath.

Allow each inhalation and exhalation to bring you more presence.

Give yourself permission to relax,

Unwind,

And allow the natural state of being to fill the space.

Breathe in relaxation and breathe out stress.

Now feel your body.

Feel every cell in your body.

What do you feel like?

Let's begin scanning the body up and down.

Turn your attention to your toes.

Focus on your toes,

Just noticing how your toes feel right now.

Notice each toe.

Give them a wiggle and feel them moving against each other.

Right now on your right foot,

Just noticing your right foot without trying to change anything at all.

Now move your attention to your left foot,

Noticing how your left foot feels.

Observe both feet simultaneously now.

Paying attention to the relaxed areas.

Focus only on the relaxed areas and spread this relaxation throughout your whole body.

It is time to conclude this body scan with a deep and powerful mantra.

The mantra is,

I am aware of my body.

I love my body.

My body is relaxed.

I am aware of my body.

I love my body.

Loved this!! So relaxing

As usual, great voice, tone and pacing. Relaxing and empowering. Thanks Elliott

Great body scan. Relaxing and made me feel present. There’s really no background music to speak of- there are nature sounds though. Good narration and sound quality as always.

Wonderfully relaxing! Thank you!

Well guided, much appreciated...
Love shalom

Nice voice. Rather than offering to comment on sensations with negative words "pain" "incomfort" it would be great to use positive ones

So relaxed I got lost in myself

Very relaxing indeed
