Hello and welcome to sound healing meditations with Kate from True Sound.
This is a guided meditation podcast that uses the magic of sound healing to help you reconnect with your body's natural vibrational resonance.
My name is Kate and I'm excited to guide you on your meditation journey today.
So go ahead and make sure you're comfortable,
Preferably in a lying down position covered in a blanket and an eye mask,
Either using headphones or a good quality speaker and enjoy your next few minutes of solitude.
Today's meditation provides you with an opportunity to tap back into your body mind and welcome an inner cleansing through connection with your breath.
When we are under the pump of the day's happenings the first thing to go is the connection with our breath.
We simply slide into a state of breathing for survival rather than breathing for connection with self and others.
The depth of the breath reduces to the upper lungs and in the shoulders which over time can lead to shoulder pain,
Neck tension and headaches.
This meditation invites you to re-engage with your body mind by tapping into the breath and breathing consciously rather than unconsciously.
Breathing itself is a vibrational inner cleanse for the body as you welcome air and energy into the body through your inhalation and remove any stagnant energy through your exhalation.
Let's begin by setting an intention for the meditation.
I offer this intention.
I flow with my breath inhale the present and exhale the past.
Once again I flow with my breath inhale the present and exhale the past.
Hold this intention in your mind throughout the meditation.
Coming back to it if you find your mind drifts away to whatever is on your mind today.
Let's begin by taking a deep breath in through the nose and a long exhale out of the mouth.
Let's take another a deep breath in through the nose and a long exhale out of the mouth.
Just letting the breath go and together we will take some slow conscious breaths.
On an inhale count of four we will hold for two and then exhale for five.
To start take a normal breath in and out and together inhale for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold one,
Two,
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Again inhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold one,
Two,
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Again inhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold one,
Two,
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Continue the breath holding the count in your mind.
Inhale for four,
Hold for two,
Exhale for five.
If the mind wanders that's okay,
That's what minds do.
Just bring it back to the conscious breath.
As you breathe feel the belly expand outwards and softly fall inwards as you breathe out.
With each exhale feel the shoulders melt away from the ears,
A loosening of the jaw,
Letting the body just settle into your seat or if you're lying down whatever is holding you beneath your body.
Just taking your last breath allowing the exhale to be nice and long,
Longer than the inhale and letting go of the counting and the breath.
Allowing the breath just to return to its normal pace,
No counting,
No pressure,
Just allowing the body to settle in to the space.
Let it coast for a moment,
Let it ride through the sound waves.
Now let's take a final lion's breath together if you're somewhere that you can make a little bit of a crazy face.
So take a deep breath in,
Open the mouth,
Stick out the tongue,
Make a crazy face and exhale.
One more lion's breath,
Deep breath in,
Open the mouth,
Stick the tongue out,
Crazy face and just feel that the emotions they come and they go and hopefully you are feeling a little more rested and calm and you can enjoy the rest of your day.
Be well.
Just keeping your eyes closed,
Start to deepen your breath,
Make small movements wiggling your fingers and your toes and rolling the wrists and the ankles.
I'm just pausing for a moment before opening your eyes and in your mind's eye bow your head to your heart center and acknowledge and embrace your abundant vibrational being that gives you your magnetic life force.
Namaste.
