Hello and welcome to this meditation.
My name is Claire Mary and I'm here to guide you into a state of relaxation.
Something recently,
Having worked with many clients,
Is that I realise that a lot of people are stuck in the logical mind and go,
Go,
Go,
And busy and preoccupied and distracting and unless we bring ourselves into the body and give ourselves time and space,
The body hasn't time to heal or rejuvenate or replenish.
So my intention for this is to give you some space to come back into your body,
Out of the logical monkey mind and relax and restore some peace and calm within.
If our bodies are in constant fight or flight,
They are preventing you from absorbing,
Receiving any minerals,
Vitamins or nourishment from the external and we absorb all of this information so constantly that we think we are taking information in,
We think we are learning or doing things differently,
But really it's not meeting the embodiment within you,
It's not really digesting and so if you just take a deep breath for one moment in through the nose and out through the mouth,
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth and with each external breath find yourself sinking even more deeply into your seat,
Into your pelvis,
Into the chair or bed or surface that you are sitting on,
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth and breathe as long as you can on the inhale and for as long as you can on the exhale and if it feels more comfortable to breathe in through the nose,
Out through the nose,
That is also okay,
Finding what works for you,
In through the nose and out through the mouth and just notice on the exhale relaxing your chest,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your legs,
Your facial muscles,
Your head,
Your neck,
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth and if emotions arise welcome them with compassion without judgement to bring your body into this state,
Invitation into parasympathetic,
It really provides the body the space to heal out of fight or flight but into a space that is more receptive,
You're able to receive,
You're building a trust within your body to create this time and space that your body knows that it has the environment that it can relax,
That it can let go,
So breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth,
Scanning your body and noticing any tension or pains or signals that arise and just observing without making it mean anything other than building a communication between your body and your mind,
Breathing into any spaces that alert you,
Breathing in even more deeply and exhaling and giving yourself permission to express any tone or sound that feels good to you as you breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth,
Observing the sensations that you notice,
Whatever you do or do not notice is perfect,
There is no right or wrong,
We can want to run or move or fidget from this place but just notice,
Notice any desires to change your state,
To want to run,
To the mind making up things that it has to do but just bringing yourself back to centre,
In through the nose and out through the mouth,
The mind has a crafty way of interrupting and so the patience of reassuring the mind that anything can wait and that this is the time that you've given yourself,
Bringing yourself back to centre,
Notice the distraction,
Bring yourself back to centre,
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth and then just scanning your body from your head down through your face,
Through your throat,
Through your shoulders,
Through your chest,
Through your stomach,
Through your legs,
Just notice what you notice,
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth,
Just checking in with how your body feels right now,
Sharing your appreciation for yourself,
For giving yourself this space and time to surrender,
To let go of everything that you feel or believe that you need to do and giving yourself this space to open,
To calm,
To restore,
To replenish because there is so much that can be achieved and created in doing nothing,
In resetting,
Restoring,
Allowing your mind to be still and to come into the presence of your body and this energy right here,
Right now.
So thank you for this time and space and giving yourself this act of love,
Respect and appreciation.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Have a blessed day and I hope to sit with you again soon.
