Mindfulness Body Scan With Tibetan Singing Bowls

This mindfulness body scan with Tibetan singing bowls is a practice of sound meeting the body.

We are all vibration.

Our bodies create harmony and music when in balance,

Which is a primary source of pure awareness.

So the connection between sound and the body is the same,

As we are all vibrational beings.

Sound creates a unified experience to help us attune,

Regulate and integrate accordingly.

So the body regulates with itself when it meets frequencies,

Becoming finely calibrated,

Simply by noticing and letting these sounds wash through us until our bodies find resonance.

Sometimes there may be sensations that feel different,

Or you may experience a tremble or a shake in the body.

This is normal and a healthy release.

Simply as you notice,

You allow yourself to work through these sensations by going towards them.

The sounds also facilitate a healing process,

Connecting you to your dynamic inner wisdom of your body.

So give yourself permission to fully relax and simply notice any sensations,

Information that's moving through your body.

Smile and notice and focus inwards,

Not trying too hard or putting any judgment on yourselves.

So we're not just vibration,

But we're also particles and waveforms.

It's a beautiful opportunity to dance together on these waveforms,

These healing vibrations.

So let's arrive in our bodies,

Closing your eyes,

Bringing your awareness to your breath,

Just allowing your breath to breathe your body naturally.

When you exhale,

Feel yourself routine to the earth,

Your support beneath you.

And again,

Breathing naturally.

And whenever you exhale,

Really feeling yourself more and more connected to the earth.

Now begin to visualize a pure white light pouring into the top of your head,

Your crown chakra.

This beautiful stream of white light inhabiting your crown.

It travels down into the space between your eyebrows,

Your third eye,

Bringing your awareness to your third eye,

Inhabiting your third eye.

Light and love emanating out from your third eye.

Inhabit your forehead all the way around the sides of your forehead.

Let your forehead be soft and relaxed.

Breathing your closed eyes,

Let your eyes soften so they feel continuous with the rest of your face.

But present with your closed eyes.

All the way to the tip of your nose.

Seeing yourself living within your whole body and breathing.

Let yourself experience living within your body.

Let yourself experience your aliveness in your whole body.

Your whole body bathing and inhabiting pure light and love.

So as the sounds start to fade,

Giving yourself permission to spend enjoying and bathing in the silence for a few minutes.

The stillness of who you are.

The beauty and pure divine light that you are.

Keeping your eyes closed,

Find the space outside your body.

The space in the room.

This space is above you and below you.

In front of you and to the sides of your body.

Now feel that the space inside your body and outside your body is the same continuous space.

You're inside your body but you are filled with space.

If this is easy for you to feel,

Let yourself experience that you are the space.

So coming back to your breath.

Inhabiting your breath.

Feeling this light and love that you are.

This beautiful healing light gradually becomes brighter emanating out to the world around you.

So breathing in light.

And breathing out light.

Breathing in peace.

And breathing out peace.

Breathing in love.

And breathing out love.

So just continue to stay living in your temple and quiet and stillness.

When you do feel called to open your eyes,

See if you can stay inside your whole body.

Even though the world appears,

You still have the temple of your body to sit inside of.

So may you be healthy.

May you be happy.

May you continue to live in your temple of love and light.
