Transcript

So I'd like you to get comfortable either by sitting down with your hands resting in your lap, or you might choose to lie down with your arms at your side. And you might also be looking at the screen in front of you at the images or you could choose to close your eyes. I would say get comfortable in any way that's appropriate for you. And we begin by taking a couple of deep breaths, inhale through the nose and exhale through the nose. With each exhale, allow yourself to sink a little further into your chair into the floor. If during this meditation, any thoughts come to mind, simply acknowledge them.

Turn them into clouds and allow them to float by enjoy Your awareness back to your breath. So I'd like you to take a moment and kind of scan your body from head to toe. And notice any areas where you might be feeling tension. And now I'd like you to think of a mildly stressful event. So we're not picking anything overly dramatic. It might be a minor annoyance that happened to you sometime during the day.

Or you might choose to think of the word stress. Now go ahead and check in with your body again and notice what you feel. For example, sometimes when people become tense, they feel it in their jaw, or they might feel it in their belly or their neck. Everyone is different. So simply notice where you feel tension in the body, it may be in the same places when you scanned or it may not. So we want to release some of that tension.

And we set the intention that with each exhale, we're exhaling any negative energy that no longer serves the body into the earth to be recycled for a better purpose. So I'd like you to inhale oxygen into those spaces where you feel a little tension. And with each exhale, imagine that tension is melting into the floor. Keep going for about a minute each exhale relaxing a little more fully. Go ahead and scan your body with your mind from head to toe. Notice if there's any areas where you still holding on.

Breathe oxygen into those areas and exhale, relax them into the floor. And now I'd like you to imagine that as you inhale into those areas, you're drawing in a white light. And as you draw that light into that area, it's energizing and bringing positive energy in and this time as you exhale, it's spreading throughout the body, spreading throughout the arms and fingertips out through the toes out through the crown of the head. Inhale That light in and exhale, let it spread throughout your body. This is also a good time if there's any areas where you feel like you need healing. Draw that air, draw that light into that area.

Keep that going for about a minute. Now I'd like you to slowly draw your awareness back to your breath. Simply inhaling and exhaling through the nose. You're not directing or controlling the breath in any way. You're just allowing. When you're ready, kind of wiggle your fingers toes you might rock your head from side to side.

And whenever you're ready, can open your eyes
