Evening Relaxation 5 Minute Meditation

It's time to relax.

Let's take a few deep breaths together.

Inhaling and exhaling.

If you'd like to you can place one hand on your chest and one hand over your heart.

Notice for a moment how you feel.

It's time to relax and let go of the busyness of the day.

With every inhale you breathe in more calm and relaxation.

And with every exhale your breath blows away your cares and your worries.

Each exhale blowing them further and further away as you feel more and more relaxed.

Notice the feeling of where you are laying or sitting.

Focus on your breath in and out.

Gently deeply breathing.

Inhaling filling your lungs with fresh air and exhaling anything that is no longer needed.

Exhaling the busyness of the day.

Exhaling any to-do lists,

Any concerns.

Exhaling anything on your mind that you can deal with at a later time.

And inhaling more relaxation,

More calm and more time for you to take care of your well-being.

Relaxing,

Breathing,

All of the muscles,

Any tightness melting away.

Just like the feeling as you sink into a warm bath.

Comforting you,

Soothing you and relaxing you.

I'm going to leave you in a few moments so that you can enjoy this piece.

If you find your mind wanders,

Remember you can return to noticing your breath.

I'll leave you now.

It's time to come back now.

If it's time for you to go to sleep,

You can simply drift off as this meditation reaches its end.

Or if you are returning to your day,

Notice your breath once more.

The inhale and exhale.

Wiggling your fingers,

Moving a little bit in your body.

Noticing any sounds around you where you are.

And noticing the feeling of whatever you are sitting or laying on that is supporting you.

Then when you are ready,

Gently open your eyes to return to your day.
