Namaste everyone.

So we are going to do a meditation to relax the body,

To soften the breath,

And just overall calmness in the system.

So,

Preferably,

Let's lie down.

So feet about shoulder distance apart,

Arms by your sides,

Palms facing up.

Swallow just to clear the palate.

Rest the tongue on the roof of the mouth.

Now,

Separate your teeth about a centimeter so you don't clench your jaw.

De-wrinkle the forehead.

Keep the ears open,

Listen to everything that's going on around you.

Don't label it,

Just listen.

Soften your forehead,

Your cheekbones,

Your cheeks.

Feel the heaviness of your head.

Soften your neck.

Relax the muscles around your spine.

Feel the softness of your shoulders,

Elbows,

And hands.

Soften your hips,

Your legs,

Your toes,

Your feet.

Now to soften and to relax a little bit more,

Put everything to the side,

Thoughts,

Memories,

Future,

Past.

So,

For a moment,

With the body,

There's nothing more to do,

No waiting,

And no next,

No next steps.

So,

Just start to breathe.

Notice the breath,

And feel that physical sensation on the tip of your nose as you inhale and exhale.

Feel that sensation.

The inhalation,

The exhalation.

And start to soften that breath.

Maybe you'll have to lengthen the breath a little bit.

Just start to soften the breath.

Feel that sensation in the tip of your nose.

And say to yourself,

I'm aware of that soft breath.

I'm aware of that soft breath.

I'm aware of that soft breath.

One more time,

Go back to the body.

So relax the forehead,

Your cheekbones,

Your cheeks,

Your jaw.

Feel the heaviness of your shoulders,

Arms,

Back legs,

And feet.

You're in a safe space,

So completely let go.

In your name,

Say your name,

And so tell yourself to relax.

You're in a safe space,

So let go.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

Soften the breath.

Relax the body.

Just breathe.

Now,

Start to wake up the body.

So wiggle your fingers,

Your toes,

Ankles,

And wrists.

Now slide the feet together,

Legs together.

Take the arms up and back,

Tops of the hands on the ground.

Stretch reach,

And roll over on your right side.

Now use your left hand to bring yourself up to seated.

Come to a comfortable seated position,

Whatever's comfortable for you.

Close your eyes so there's no external stimulation.

Take your palms to your heart.

Feel that physical sensation from the thumbs to the heart.

And just for a moment,

Breathe into that space.

Feel that connection from thumbs to heart.

Okay,

Now rub the palms.

And place your hands over your eyes.

Open your eyes in the darkness of the palms.

And place your hands on your thighs.

Check in,

See how you feel.

May all beings be happy,

Safe,

And free.

Namaste everyone,

And thank you for joining me.

Hope you have a blessed day.
