Welcome to your body awareness guided meditation.
One of the ways to relax your body is by increasing your awareness.
Begin by bringing awareness and attention to your physical body.
Notice what you feel now in your body.
And arrive in an easy,
Relaxed seated position with your spine straight.
Relax your shoulders down your back.
Take a deep breath,
Inhale and exhale,
Let it go.
In this guided meditation,
I'll gently guide you through a body scan.
As I name each body part,
Simply become aware of that body part and relax.
And then pause to notice where do you feel tension,
Where do you feel a sense of ease.
With your feet firmly planted on the floor,
Take another breath in and exhale,
Relax into the ground.
Take this time to notice your feet on the floor and the quality of the sensations of your feet on the floor.
Wiggle your toes and notice the soles of your feet and the heels of your feet touching the ground.
Become aware of both feet,
Relaxing into the ground,
Becoming heavy and relaxed.
Now invite this quality of sensation through your ankles,
Lower legs,
Knees,
Upper legs,
Knees.
Feel your entire body becoming heavy and relaxed.
Moving this energy to your hips,
Lower back,
Lower belly,
Mid back,
Mid belly,
Upper back,
Mid chest,
Upper chest,
Shoulders.
Let your shoulders melt down your back.
Release the tension in the joints of your shoulders and your hips.
Let everything loosen.
Allow all of your joints to open and release.
Upper arms,
Elbows,
Lower arms.
Slowly relax.
Wrists,
Hands,
Fingers,
Palms of your hands as your arms and hands soften and relax,
Drawing your attention to your neck,
Relaxing through the front of the neck,
Back of the neck,
Back of your throat,
Skull,
Scalp,
Forehead,
Behind the forehead,
The eyes,
Relax deeply through the back of the eyes,
The jaw,
Relax the whole face,
Your brain,
Your inner ears,
Relax through your spine.
Let your whole body gently soften and let go.
Relax your inner organs,
Your heart and mind.
Release the bones of your body,
The muscles,
Tendons,
Your skin.
Now,
At this time,
Become aware of the sensations throughout your whole body,
Pausing and notice what you feel in your body now.
Do you feel more tension or ease in your upper body or lower body?
Become aware of the sensations on the right side of your body,
On the left side of your body,
On the front side of your body,
And the back side of your body.
Relax in the space on all sides of your body with awareness.
Become aware of your whole body.
Become aware of your body in the room,
Softly breathing with each breath.
Become aware of the flow of the energy running through your whole body.
Simply becoming aware of your whole body.
Observe to see if there are any remaining pockets of tension.
Bring your awareness there and simply let it soften and let go.
Now affirm to yourself,
I relax my whole body.
My whole body is relaxed.
I relax my whole body.
My whole body is relaxed.
I relax my whole body.
My whole body is relaxed.
Namaste.
