Welcome to your guided meditation on release.
I want you to get as comfortable as you can wherever you are.
Finding a seat,
Or laying down,
Or getting connected to the earth through the body.
Feeling the way that the earth is moving up to meet you.
And then I'd like for you to connect to your breath.
Breathing in and out of the nose a few cycles.
Feeling the body fill and empty.
And taking your time to build this relationship with your breath.
Inviting the body to soften where you can.
Around the corners of the eyes,
Maybe the corners of the jaw.
Allow the teeth to part,
Allow the tongue to soften away from the roof of the mouth.
Allow yourself to just settle with whatever it is that's present.
Finding this stillness,
Relaxing into it.
Let's do a couple rounds of cleansing breath.
We'll breathe in the nose and out the mouth.
Nice slow inhale through the nose.
Big sigh out the mouth.
A few more times,
Slow inhale.
Deep sigh.
This time we'll pause at the top with the fullness.
Inhale slow,
Really take your time.
Feel the belly,
The ribs up into the chest.
And pause at the top for 10,
9,
8,
7,
6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Big release.
And then settle back into a rhythm of breath that feels fluid and supportive.
So often we are looking to fix or change or move emotions around.
And it's not always a quick process.
But as we allow ourselves to settle into whatever is here,
We give ourselves the opportunity to feel it,
To learn the lessons from it.
And then allow ourselves that opportunity to release.
Sometimes all the mind and the body need is that recognition,
That chance to feel seen,
Feel heard.
So as you sit or lay here with the breath,
Remind the body that it's safe to feel.
Remind the body that it can let go whenever it's ready.
Remind the body that you are grateful for it and that you're ready.
You're ready to receive the lessons from whatever is present.
This is a chance to find that stillness.
This is a spot of time devoted just to yourself.
Let's take another full cleansing breath together.
Slow inhale.
Big sigh.
When we breathe with intention,
When we pay attention to the body,
We have this alchemy available to us to grow,
To shift,
To shed in our own time.
When we're not rushing to move through it,
When we're not rushing to go to the next thing on the checklist,
When we give ourselves the space to breathe,
To be,
Stay present with the breath here.
Invite the body to release a little more.
And stay as long as you want,
As long as you have the time for to breathe a few more slow,
Deep rounds of breath.
Thank you so much for taking this time to meditate.
I hope you continue to come back to your breath,
To the body,
I hope you continue to give yourself time to rest,
To release.
It's always an honor to share this practice with you.
Namaste.
