Welcome to this guided body scan to help wake your body up.
Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Whether that's seated or lying down.
Whatever's best for you,
Your body,
And the space you're in.
Take a nice deep inhale.
And as you exhale,
Just let the air fall out and gently allow your eyes to close.
And just feel the sensations of your body exactly where you are.
Not needing to change anything or assign a cause or a reason for any sensation.
Just observe,
Feel the contact points between your body and the surface beneath you.
You're here.
You're safe in this moment.
And you are alive in this brand new day.
And what a special gift that is.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your toes.
Maybe you even want to wiggle them slightly.
Just feeling a little life returning to your extremities.
And on your next breath,
Allow your focus to rise up through your body,
Spreading all throughout your feet,
Your ankles,
And your calves.
As though there's a soft rising energy beginning to spread through your body,
Just like the morning sun.
And it's powered by your breath.
Each inhale fuels the spread.
And each exhale,
Releasing tension.
Moving further up now into your knees.
And then your thighs.
Feeling that energy waking your whole lower body.
And your next breath brings you to your hips.
Each inhale,
Collecting energy in your hips.
And with your exhale,
Release the tension from them.
Your next breath,
Easing your attention and that energy up into your belly.
Feeling that rhythmic rise and fall as it moves with the cycle.
So your inhales and exhales.
Spreading energy.
Releasing tension.
And that energy expands now up to your heart space.
Feeling that gentle rhythm of your heartbeat.
Each one bringing you just that bit more present to the experience of this very moment.
That energy and awareness beginning to spread out through your arms now.
Across your elbows.
Through your forearms.
Into your palms.
And to the tips of each and every one of your fingers.
Feeling the tingle of that energy as it spreads through you.
Expanding even further up through your shoulders.
Your neck and throat.
Moving into your jaw.
Your cheeks.
And all across your face and your head.
Relaxing the muscles of your forehead.
Feeling that energy spread through your whole body and your mind.
Sweeping away any last traces of sleepiness.
Your body is entirely illuminated,
Full of energy from your head to your toes.
Shining,
Energized,
Calm,
And confident.
Glad to be alive.
Ready to make the day ahead a beautiful and memorable one.
Take one final deep breath in.
Feeling that energy spread into every cell in your body.
And as you exhale,
Gather yourself.
Returning to the space around you.
Opening your eyes whenever you're ready.
And carrying this sense of energy and calmness with you into the fantastic day that lies ahead.
