Reducing the tension in your body…
For the next five minutes of this exercise, lie on your back and relax. Sink into your body to feel and breathe with a calm and steady rhythm.
You are invited to slow down and deepen your abdominal breathing.
Focus your attention on the sensations in your face, head and neck; pay special attention to points of tension or tightness, heaviness or pressure. As you breathe out, the “letting go” breath, invite the sensations in these areas of your body to release, relax or just exist.
Direct your consciousness to the sensation of your torso, arms and hands; notice any tingling or numbness, cold or heat, strain or knotted areas. As you exhale, encourage your sensations in this area to soften, loosen, or to stay as they are.
Now observe the sensations of your thighs, calves, feet and toes; feel tightness or hardness, soreness or numbness. On the “letting go” breathing, offer release to the feelings in this area of your body.
Finally, lets move our breath throughout the whole body. Cleansing as it moves. Inhale deeply as you “sweep” any remaining tension on the soles of your feet up to your spine, to your head. Exhale for a long time to release all the “dust and debris” from imaginary air holes on the top of the head.
Nothing found.
