Guided meditation body scan.

 

She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.

Here is a 8.37 minute guided meditation body scan, to help you feel relaxed. If you would like to listen to this meditation, just follow this link - Meditation Link. If you fancy some music to listen along with, I would suggest this beautiful playlist from Spotify called Reiki Healing Music Link.

Make yourself comfortable.

Allow your body to melt into the bed, knowing you are completely safe and supported.

Take a deep inhale, feeling your stomach rise, and then exhale it all out with a sigh.

Now breathe naturally. Whether your breaths are swallow, or deep, just let it be.

Become aware of your stomach expanding on your inhale, and contracting on your exhale.

As thoughts come to you, acknowledge them, and just let them fade away.

As you inhale bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows, and as you exhale, allow any tension you are holding here, to simply melt and smooth away.

As you inhale, bring your attention to the outside corner of your eyes, and as you exhale allow any tension to release, as you feel this space relax.

Bring your attention to your lips, allow them to part slightly, so you are not holding any tension here. Take a deep inhale, and as you exhale feel your jaw relax.

As we start the body scan, allow your awareness to float to the body parts as I call them out. If you feel any tension or sensations, imagine sending your breath into that part, allowing the breath to soften and flow, releasing, relaxing and soothing any stress you were holding there.

Now bring your attention to the top of your head, the forehead, the corner of your eyes, your cheeks, your mouth, your jaw. The back of your head.

Your entire head, is relaxed, and feels heavy and supported on the pillow.

Bring your attention to your neck, the top of your shoulders, your upper left arm, your left elbow, your left forearm, your left hand, your left thumb, your left fingers.

Now move your attention to your upper right arm, your right elbow, your right forearm, your right hand, your right thumb, your right fingers.

Feel both arms become heavy and supported as they relax down into the bed.

Bring your attention to the front of your chest, observe as it rises and falls as you breathe naturally.

Bring your attention to your upper back, send your breath here if you feel any tension or stress. Allow your breath and mind to move to your middle back, your lower back. Breathing through any sensations.

Bring your awareness to your ribs, your stomach. Your hips, feel them firmly rooted into the bed, heavy and supported and completely relaxed.

Bring your awareness to your left thigh, left knee, left shin, left calf, left ankle, the top of your left foot, the heal of your left foot, the ball of your left foot, your left toes.

Bring your awareness to your right thigh, right knee, right shin, right calf, right ankle, the top of your right foot, the heal of your right foot, the ball of your right foot, your right toes.

Both legs are completely relaxed.

Now, let your attention expand out to your entire body. Bringing your awareness to the top of your head, and down to the bottom of your toes. Feel the breath as it flows through the body.

Your entire body is completely relaxed.
