This week on Namaste Podcast,
A relaxing five minute meditation.
Go ahead and close your eyes and find a comfortable seat.
Elongate through your spine,
Lifting through the crown of your head.
And start to notice your breath.
We're not changing the breath or judging the breath.
We're just noticing how it feels to inhale and exhale through your nose.
And as you listen to the sound of my voice and focus on your breath,
You might notice that your mind will wander to other thoughts,
To sensations in the body,
What you need to do after you meditate or what's going on in your life right now.
And when you've realized that's happened,
Without judgment,
Without worry,
Simply bring your attention back to the sound of my voice.
Now we're going to elongate our breaths.
So empty everything out of your lungs and then deep inhale through the nose.
Hold at the top.
Slow and controlled exhale through the nose.
Deep inhale through the nose.
Slow and controlled exhale.
With each breath cycle,
You relax more and more.
Continue breathing in this slow inhale,
Slow exhale.
And while you're doing that,
I want you to consciously relax the space between your eyebrows.
Relax your ears.
Relax your neck and your jaw.
Simply release any tension that exists in those areas.
Allow this conscious relaxation to extend down your shoulders,
Releasing any tension in your upper arms,
Forearms,
And hands.
Continuing with that slow and controlled inhale and exhale.
Now we're going to send relaxing energy all the way down our spine,
Our main energetic corridor of our entire body.
Our spine controls our hormone releases,
Our movements,
And all of our subconscious habits.
Release any tension that exists in your spine.
Now we're moving to our hips,
Releasing any clenching or rigidity that exists in your hips.
Releasing any tension in your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calves,
Your feet and toes.
Simply relax now,
Fully connected to your breath and to your body.
You can come back to this practice any time you like.
Namaste.
