Five Minute Guided Meditation Script for RELAXATION and Body Tension Release
Beginning Of 5 Minute Guided Meditation Script:
Begin by lying in a comfortable position, flat on your back with your legs uncrossed, and arms at your side, palms facing downwards.
And once you find yourself in a comfortable position, softly close your eyes, and just focus on your breathing. Noticing how the air enters and exits your body, feeling your stomach rise on every inhale and fall on every exhale.
Take a moment to let your breath slow.... down, feeling your body, heavy on the surface on which you are lying.
All that matters at this moment, is your breath. And the words you are hearing, anytime your mind wanders, that's okay. Just return your awareness back to these words, back to your breath. And as you breathe softly and slowly, you feel yourself letting go.
Entering into a state of deep peace and relaxation. (Long Pause)
And as your breathing continues to soften and deepen, you began to sense the glow of soft blue light, beginning to float down over the top of your head, flowing over your face, bringing deep relaxation as the soft blue light continues to flow down your neck, into your shoulders and your arms.
Everywhere the soft blue light touches, your body experiences a release. As you enter into relaxation and you feel the soft blue light continue now down your chest, you're back, your torso.
Feel yourself sinking into this wave of peace and relaxation as the blue light continues down through your hips, your thighs, your knees, your calves, and all the way down into the soles of your feet so that your entire being is illuminated in soft blue light. And you feel every cell within you relaxing, letting go.
Take this peaceful feeling with you as you slowly begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes, and wake your body back up, for a more relaxed and peaceful stay. And whenever you're ready, slowly rise. As you open your eyes back to the room around you.
End Of 5 Minute Guided Meditation Script
Now more than ever it’s important to take time out to relax your body and mind. With the current economy, it’s not unusual that people would be more anxious and stressed than normal. Sometimes it can feel like you can’t afford to waste a minute on something like relaxing.
I know that seems like a logical conclusion, but I think the better question is can you afford not to find some peaceful moments in your life right now?
MeditationLifeSkillsPodcast.com strives to present meditation concepts that connect east and west, tradition and science in a non-sectarian way, from multiple traditions, without promoting any particular technique or method.
One important principle I try to accomplish is to take complex ideas about meditation and the not-so-well understood meditation principles and help you understand how they can fit into your life.
To your success in meditation!
