For this meditation today, We'll be doing a movement meditation. You are welcomed to do this seated, So finding a comfortable seat just wherever you are. Whether it's crossed legs or seated on a chair. When you are ready, I'll invite you to allow the eyes to fall shut. Allow the eyelids to be soft. And then gently find your breath. You as you allow the breath to deepen. Notice the body expand on the inhale. And soften on the exhale. Continue with this pace and speed of breath. From here, Let's sit up a little bit taller, Allowing the spine to be nice and tall, Allowing the chest to be open. From here, Let's interlace the fingers. Keep the arms straight out in front of you. And then start to round the back. Allowing the shorter blades to widen. Keeping the shoulders away from the ears as you stretch the arms forward. Pressing the hands away from you. You can gently release, Return back to centre. Let's interlace the hands behind your back. Open the chest. A slight backbend here, Allowing the collarbones to be broad. Chest forward. Slowly release. Let's come back to that first movement. So interlacing the fingers, Pushing the arms forward, Hands away from you as you round the back. Allow the shorter blades to widen. Slowly release, Back to centre, Interlace the hands behind you, Open the chest. And I'll invite you to flow through that just a few more times at your own pace. You can go a little bit faster or a little bit slower. You can sway side to side if that feels comfortable for you. Allowing the body to open up gently. And as you move, Just notice the contact of the sit bones pressing into the surface beneath you. If you're sitting on a chair, Notice the feet pressing into the floor for grounding, For support. Now finding stillness. Allow the arms to rest by your side. Coming back to centre. From here, Let's interlace the fingers. Take the arms over your head for a full stretch. Then as you exhale, Release the arms down by the side. Two more like this, Interlace the fingers, Press the palms forward, Then take both arms or take the arms over your head, Draw a big circle, Release the arms by the side. One more time, Interlace the fingers, Stretch up. Big circle all the way down. From here let's interlace the fingers, Press the palms forward, Take the arms over your head and stay. Now separate the hands, Lower the right fingertips down to the floor on the right side. Stretch the left arm up and bend over towards the right for a side stretch. Now you are breathing into the left side of the body. Notice the left side of the body expand, Creating space and length. Keeping the breath flowing nice and slow, Nice and deep. Return back to centre and let's switch sides. Lower the left hand down to the floor. Stretch the right hand, Right fingertips over to your left. This time we're stretching the right side body. Notice the space. Notice the expansion. And slowly come back to the center. Finding stillness, Let's do a little bit of a shoulder mobility exercise. From here, Let's take the shoulders up to the ears. So really try to bring the shoulders up as high as you can. Draw the shoulders up, Back, And down. So shoulder rolls. Two more. Take the shoulders up, Shrugging all the way up, And around. One more circle all the way up. And release. Other way, Take the shorters back. Reach the shoulders up and around. Two more. Draw the shoulders back, Lift the shoulders up towards the ears and all the way down. One more circle. Releasing any tension you may be carrying. Finding stillness back to center. Let's drop the right ear towards the right shoulder for a neck stretch. At any point if it gets too much, You can back off. Don't go so deep. And just notice the stretch on the side of the neck. Very gently return back to centre. Switch left ear to left shoulder. Now when you're doing these neck stretches, Make sure the shoulders don't shrug up. So allow the shoulders to release away from the ears. Then see if that deepens your stretch. You Return back to centre, Take the chin towards your chest, Stretching out the back of your neck. Still be coming up now draw the chin up towards the ceiling looking up and allowing the head to go as far back as it wants to go as much as it feels comfortable for you today Coming back to the centre. Finding your breath. You Now notice how you feel after a few rounds of movement. Some side bends, Some forward bends, Back bends, Some neck stretches. You can stay with your breath for as long as you need. When you are ready, You can gently open the eyes, Coming back into this space. Thank you so much for joining me in this meditation today. I wish you a great day ahead.
