Welcome to this meditation for relaxation and finding contact with your body.
This practice is designed to help you cultivate a deep sense of relaxation and connect with your body in a profound way.
By doing so,
You will be able to better understand your body's needs and take care of it in a holistic manner.
To begin,
Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
And gently close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths,
Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
As you breathe,
Let go of any tension or worry you may be holding in your body.
Focus on your breath.
Imagine each breath carrying a sense of calmness and relaxation into your body,
And with each exhale,
Imagine yourself releasing any stress or tension you may be holding.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Visualize a wave of relaxation washing over your body,
Starting at the top of your head and slowly moving down to your toes.
Imagine this wave of relaxation melting away any tension or tightness in your body,
Leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and at peace.
Now we will rotate your consciousness through the different centers of the body as quickly as possible.
Your awareness has to jump from point to point.
Please repeat mentally the name of each part after me and simultaneously become aware of that part.
Do not concentrate on any one part,
But let your mind jump freely from one part to the next.

As you continue to focus on your body,

The whole body.
Take a deep breath and repeat the following affirmation to yourself.
I'm connected to my body.
I'm able to understand and meet my body's needs.
I'm taking care of my body.
Allow yourself to stay in this relaxed state for as long as you need.
When you're ready to end the meditation,
Take a few deep breaths and gently open your eyes.
Remember that you can come back to this meditation any time you need to reconnect with your body and find the sense of profound relaxation.
Thank you for taking this time for yourself and for your well-being.
Namaste.
