Hi and welcome to this short 31-point body scan practice.
Body scan practices are great baby steps to longer meditation practices.
I love body scan practices because it's just about listening to my voice and bringing your attention or your awareness to different parts of your body.
So let's begin by getting nice and comfortable,
Getting really supported,
Giving your body a chance to soften and feel at ease.
Adjusting the volume so that this recording feels soothing to you,
Not too loud,
Not too soft.
You may want to close down your eyes,
Keep them slightly open.
Whatever works for you,
Whatever feels better for you.
This is all about you having choice.
Begin by releasing,
Taking a deep sip of air in through the nose,
Holding,
Open the mouth sighing,
Letting it all go.
Again,
Another deep breath in through the nose,
Hold,
Open the mouth,
Exhale,
Releasing,
Letting it all go.
One last time,
Deep sip in through the nose,
Holding,
Holding,
Open the mouth sighing,
Letting it all go.
Good.
Now just let the weight of your body melt into the surface beneath you.
All you have to do is listen to the sound of my voice.
There's nothing else to do,
There's nowhere else to go.
At this moment you're just listening to the sound of my voice and bringing your awareness or your attention to different points of your body,
Allowing a softening feeling to envelop that part of the body.
There's no right or wrong way to do this,
It's just a practice.
Bringing awareness as if you can feel a soft warming light to the space in between your eyebrows,

Just resting here,
Whole body soft,
Whole body at ease,
Present,
Just noticing the sensations in your body,
Knowing that you can do this practice anytime,
That you need a moment to reset,
A moment when you catch your body in too much tension.
It's a quick five-minute,
31-point practice.
Feel free to come back to this whenever you need.
Don't forget,
You are divine,
You are whole and safe,
And you are free at rest.
Thank you so much for practicing with me.
I hope this was helpful.
Namaste.
