Yeah,
So just using silence and this moment to notice what's going on within you points of contact with the floor points of contact with what you're resting on noticing your breath if there's any tendency to hold the breath or if it's flowing freely and enjoying this moment of slowing down a little bit slowing down noticing and just check what you're picking up within yourself right now in this moment physically maybe some holding in the shoulders or holding in the jaw or squinting of the eyes tensing up of feet or hands and see as you are resting in this moment if you can just let any areas that are a bit tense just soften a little bit and it can be really good to just remember that you being here spending this time is already really beneficial so you don't have to worry about achieving maximizing relaxation you're already achieving relaxation just by being here or in other words your whole nervous system,
Your whole body is benefiting from slowing down in this way even if some parts of you are still spinning or thinking about responsibilities and things,
That's okay but also you're here with your feet on the ground noticing your breathing and just to check that you really are aware of what's going on in your body and you're not drifting off into thoughts too much maybe just a mini body scan could be a really good idea just starting at your feet slowly moving up your legs checking in with the knees and traveling up to your hips and your breath in your belly noticing the chair that you're resting on that contact,
That holding,
That support always here supporting,
Always here holding of course a deeper layer of that being the earth the earth always being here,
Holding,
Supporting and then coming back to your lower back traveling up to your upper back going into the left shoulder and the left arm all the way into the fingertips of the left hand and before we travel over to the right just remembering it's not about relaxing each body part,
It's just checking in what's there just literally sensing what is there because if we try to relax often there can be a really subtle undertone of tension within that but if we just bring compassion and awareness to our body our body knows how to relax so we can let go you can just notice to then traveling over into the right shoulder and the right arm just letting your beautiful awareness travel down into your hand and just seeing what you sense here in your hand,
In your right hand if you're anything like me you might not spend too much time in your daily life exploring your right hand so just sensing what sensations are here knowing that this body awareness signals safety to your nervous system and to your brain it also is interesting to see what's going on within my body right now then making a bit of a jump from your hand to your chest maybe noticing your heart in your chest feeling the gentle beating so vital for your body,
For your being,
For your aliveness and it's always showing up just doing its thing,
You don't have to do anything for it so maybe even a few moments of gratitude for your heart everything it's doing,
Just on a purely physical level how it beats faster when it needs to,
And beats slower when it needs to how every function within you is possible because it's here and then gently transitioning to your throat and to your jaw,
Left side of your lower jaw again just like with the hand and with the heart,
Just noticing what's there we don't have to change anything,
We're just here with our awareness because our body knows how to relax,
Just like how our heart knows how to beat and then checking in with the right,
Lower jaw,
Right side and although we may not have an agenda to change anything the jaw may be waiting to have a signal to relax and let go a bit or it may not be ready and that's also ok,
It's just opportunities that we're offering there's never any forcing to do anything,
Just opportunities so if your jaw wants to relax or not,
Just take some calmer breaths to accompany it if it does want to relax then you can use the out-breath to just allow it to let go of whatever it wants to let go no expectation,
Just opportunities there will always be another opportunity as well and just as a last checking with the jaw for now,
Just see if there's anything that it wants to communicate with you and just letting it know that you're here the word that's coming through for me is that the jaw is like the epicenter of safety the epicenter of trying to keep us safe so just like with the heart,
Where we could have felt so grateful,
Can feel so grateful for everything it does maybe you'd also like to extend a bit of gratitude for everything your jaw does and tries to do it's like how symptoms can either be framed as the problem or the beginning of the solution having a sense of your whole body awareness,
Your aliveness and really taking your time but getting ready to transition out of this session today and coming back into your space have a beautiful day or night,
Much love soak up these soothing vibes
