Transcript

Make sure you are in a very comfortable position and that you will not be disturbed.

You can listen to this session at any time.

See it in the day when you can catch a break or at night when you are ready to float off into a long night's sleep.

Take a large breath in,

Pulling in as much air as you can and then just let it go.

Allow yourself another full and beautiful breath,

Letting it go without pushing the air out too hard.

Take one more breath at your own pace,

As full as you can,

Holding it for a moment and then letting the air go.

Only breathe naturally now,

Just for a moment.

Begin to focus on your right palm.

Relax your right palm and hand,

Every finger,

One by one.

Relax your wrist,

Your forearm,

Your elbow.

Relax your right bicep and your entire upper arms.

Relax your right shoulder,

Down to your right hip,

Relaxing that as well.

Relax your leg all the way down to your ankle and your foot.

Each toe on your right foot,

Slowly letting go completely.

Bring your awareness up now to the right side of your neck,

Relaxing it,

Allowing anything that you hear to feel like tiny waves of relaxation going into your ear,

The entire right side of your head,

Fully relaxing.

Your right brain is now relaxing,

Allowing creativity to be fully accessible.

Your entire right side is fully calm and relaxed.

Deep is easy for you when you feel this relaxed.

Focus now on your left palm.

Relax your left palm and hand.

Relax every finger,

One by one.

Relax your wrist,

Your forearm,

Your elbow,

Your left bicep and your entire upper arm.

Relax your shoulders,

Down to your left hip.

Relax down your left leg all the way down to your ankle and your foot.

Each toe on your left foot,

Slowly letting go completely.

Bring your awareness up now to the left side of your neck,

Relaxing it,

Allowing any sounds that you hear to be tiny waves of relaxation going into your left ear,

The entire left side of your head now fully relaxed.

Your left brain is relaxing,

Allowing rationality to be fully accessible.

Your left side being now fully calm and relaxed makes it easier and brings you closer to falling asleep.

Now take your awareness to the back of your head.

Allow the weight of the back of your head to generate relaxation.

The back of your neck relaxing,

Your shoulders and your shoulder blades fully relaxing.

Your entire upper body relaxing,

Sinking.

Your spine relaxing,

Starting from the neck,

Slowly going down,

Bone by bone.

Your lower back relaxes as it presses against the surface that you're laying on.

Your hips,

Your pelvis and your glutes relaxing.

The back of your legs all the way down to your ankles relaxing,

Making you more and more tired as you relax.

Focus now on your forehead.

Allow your forehead to just melt away,

Allowing wrinkles to flatten.

Relax your eyes and notice they're making tiny movements.

These movements allow you to relax even more.

Focus now on your body as a whole,

Your entire body relaxing,

Sinking deeper into whatever you're lying on.

Just enjoy this feeling for some time.

Enjoy this meditation music for some time.

Allow your body to adjust to anything that it sees fit.

Give it complete freedom.

Your body is in control of itself now.

To heal what needs to heal.

To rest what needs to rest.

It will do exactly what it needs to do now,

Without any effort or any suggestion.

This is the natural state of your body when you allow the mind to step away.

Allow yourself to sleep now,

However long you feel you need to.

Allow your body to do what it does best.

To rest.

I found the teacher’s voice and background music soothing. I really liked this body scan because of the order of it. Didn’t go finger by finger for example. And I appreciated the suggestion for my body to do what it needs to do regarding healing. Thank you for offering this.
