Thank you for joining me for this guided meditation where you will relax your body and your mind.
Put yourself into a comfortable position which may be sitting down or lying down on your back.
Start by taking nice deep breaths.
On the inhale,
Filling your stomach,
Expanding your diaphragm and on the exhale bringing your stomach back to your spine.
You start to feel yourself becoming more relaxed.
Any worries from the day start to melt away.
If you find that your mind is wandering,
Just bring your awareness to your breath.
Now move your awareness to your feet.
As you breathe,
Allowing any tension to move out of all the joints and the muscles in the toes,
The top of the foot,
The ankle.
And slowly move that relaxation up your legs to your knees.
And as you breathe,
Allowing the relaxation to flow through the joints and the muscles.
Notice any tension and give it permission to leave.
Now move your relaxation up to your hips.
Breathing into your joints,
Your muscles,
Noticing what you feel and allowing any tension to leave.
The lower half of your body now feels twice as relaxed as it was before.
And as you continue to breathe,
You feel this relaxation move towards your spine,
Flowing vertebra by vertebra,
Relaxing all the segments in your back,
Allowing any tension to leave.
Now bring this relaxation up and over top of your shoulders.
This is where many of us hold a lot of tension,
Our stresses and our worries.
Breathe into this area and notice what comes up for you.
Give yourself permission to relax,
Allowing these tensions to leave.
Now move this relaxation down your arms,
To your elbows,
Into your wrists and right down into your fingertips.
Your hands do many things for us.
It's important that we let them rest and relax.
On the next exhale,
Bring your awareness to the very top of your head.
And as you breathe,
Allow this relaxation to flow across the front of your face,
Relaxing the eyes,
Relaxing the jaws,
The tongue.
Now that your body is relaxed,
Bring your awareness to your heart,
Noticing anything that comes up for you.
And I want you to visualize yourself,
Spreading your love around your whole entire body,
Being thankful for everything that your body does for you every day.
Now just breathe into this gratitude,
Savoring this relaxation.
Start to bring your awareness back to the present,
Starting to take nice deep breaths.
Bring your awareness back to the here and now.
You can wiggle your toes,
Your fingers to help you come back.
Take this gratitude with you into your day and always be thankful for everything that your body does for you.
When you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
So linemen,
We begin to breathe and whoa!
You you
