Simple Relaxation Meditation

Breathe... Inhale (for 4 counts)... Exhale (for 4 counts). 
​Repeat...
​Find yourself a comfortable position.
Close your eyes and begin to feel your body relaxing.
Feel your eyes closing softly and your head getting heavy.
Notice your neck falling slightly as you breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
As you're breathing deeply, feel you shoulders relaxing and your elbows drooping.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth... in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Feel your stomach muscles letting go of any tension it may be carrying within.

Notice your hips sinking further and further into your seat.
​Focus on your breath, in through your nose and out through your mouth... and again... and again.
Feel your knees weaken and you ankles become over relaxed.
Allow your feet and toes to root themselves into the earth below you.
Breathing deeply, sit in this state of silence and relaxation, allowing the quiet to flow through your mind.
Now Imagine that you are holding all of your stress and your worries in the palm of your hands, directly in front of your eyes. These emotions are embodied inside little clear bubbles, surrounded and secure.
With each breath that you inhale, you breath in positive thoughts of warmth and love.
Filling your body and soul with light.
When you exhale you release the bubbles and let go of your negative thoughts and emotions.
You continue doing this until you can no longer see the bubbles, because they have floated away indefinitely.
You feel light and renewed. You accept that you no longer feel this hard emotions and that your are happy and free. You are grateful for this time you had in peace and serenity.

When you are ready, notice each and every body part that I mentioned, wiggle your toes and your ankles.
Notice your hips sitting in your chair.
Feel your stomach and notice your breathing.
Awaken your muscles as you sense them in your presence.
When ready, open your eyes and take in a deep breath of refreshment.

Namaste, HM
