Transcript

Welcome to your nervous system reset meditation where in just five minutes you will drop into a state of feeling calm.

When you're ready close down your eyes and either find a comfortable seat or lie down on your back.

Place your right hand onto your left shoulder and place your left hand onto your right shoulder so that your arms are crossed over your chest and then we're going to tap very gently at the same time on both the left and right shoulder and as we start to do this you may feel the need to take a deep breath in and breathe out of your mouth.

Let's begin and then we'll start to pick up the pace,

Release the arms and just feeling the sensation,

The energy moving through your body and then start to direct your breath down into your belly.

So as you breathe in you feel your belly expand outwards like a balloon and as you exhale the belly draws back towards your spine.

Again inhale,

Breathe into your belly,

Breathe into the belly and exhale belly comes back to the spine.

Now breathe in through your nose,

Open your mouth and exhale the breath out of your mouth.

Again breathe in through the nose and make the exhale slightly longer than the inhale,

Exhaling out of your mouth.

Again breathe in through the nose,

Open mouth,

Exhale.

One more time breathing in through the nose,

This time hold the breath at the top for a count of three,

Two,

One,

Exhale the breath.

From here take your right hand and place it on the left shoulder again and the left hand on the right shoulder and just take a moment to squeeze and hug yourself here.

Deep slow breaths as you're doing this and then placing your hands on your heart,

Setting an intention for the rest of your day.

Breathing in,

Feeding your intention with your own life force energy and then exhale let it go.

That completes your nervous system reset meditation.

When you are ready you can gently open your eyes.
