Relax Your Body Meditation
Got 20 minutes? This one aims to relax your body from head to toe.
I take a deep breath in and out. I am moving into a relaxed position.
I place all the noise and all clutter of my life to the side. I send a message to my entire body, it’s time to relax. It’s time to rest, recharge and rejuvenate.
I continue breathing in and out. I continue to relax all parts of my body. I scan my body, noticing any tension, and with each breath, release the tension.
I am aware of my body in this relaxed position. I notice how my body feels, right now. I continue my deep cleansing breaths. My body acknowledges any tension, and with each breath, the tension is gone.
I notice peace inside my body. I feel serenity inside my body. I sense love throughout my body. I can relax here. I feel a deep, warm, pure love inside my heart. I know that the more love I give, the more love my heart has to give.
Right now this love in my heart is flowing to my chest, my stomach, my torso. With each breath, I release any grief, sadness or pain. My stomach, torso and chest are in a relaxed state and all of my internal organs are relaxed and comfortable.
I continue my deep breaths and feel the flow of love travelling to my right shoulder, bringing peace, serenity and ease throughout my right shoulder. This soft tender energy flows from my right shoulder, down the front of my arm, into my hands. I experience warmth and relaxation flowing through each of my fingers. One by one, they relax.
The comfort of love now continues in my right palm and into my right wrist. With each breath, I let things go. I choose a state of relaxation. The comfort of love now moves up my arm, filling it with love, peace and ease. It now reaches my right shoulder and my entire right arm is deeply relaxed and comfortable.
The flow of love now travels to my left shoulder, bringing peace, serenity and ease throughout my left shoulder. This soft tender energy flows down my left arm, travelling to my hands. I experience warmth and relaxation flowing through each of my left fingers. One by one, they relax.
The comfort of love now continues to my left palm and wrist. With each breath, I feel all tension releasing. This love now moves gently up my left arm, back to my left shoulder. I continue to breathe deeply as I feel tension releasing throughout my left arm. It feels great to simply let go.
My left arm is now deeply relaxed and comfortable.
I take deep breaths now as I experience this deep sense of relaxation. The light of this love now moves from my heart to the back of my neck, slowing releasing tension in my neck. It now travels up the right side of my head, relaxing my right ear, relaxing the back of my head. And with each breath, becoming a deeper sense of ease and comfort. It moves to the top of my head and slowly makes its way to the left side of my head, relaxing my left ear. And with each deep breath, I feel this love cupping the back of my head. My body knows it’s okay to let go, trusting in this love, trusting in this moment.
The flow of love now moves from my heart to the front of my neck, relaxing all the muscles of my neck and slowly moving to my chin. I feel its nurturing presence and I now relax my face. With each breath, I feel tension releasing. With each breath, I feel a comfortable state of relaxation.
I sense the loving energy move along my right jaw, allowing for any tension to completely dissipate. I feel the soothing nature of this love and my right jaw responds with a relaxed position.
This love now moves up to my cheek in a circular motion, it erases any stress stored here.
The love now travels to my lips and I feel my mouth and my tongue completely relax. I continue my deep breaths, and I feel my upper lip release tension as well.
I now sense the loving energy move along my left jaw, allowing for any tension to completely dissipate. I feel the soothing nature of this love and my left jaw responds with a relaxed position.
This love now moves up to my cheek in a circular motion, it erases any stress stored here.
This love from my heart now travels to my nose and I can feel my nose deeply relax with each breath. I continue my deep breaths, as I feel my face completely relax. The muscles of my face, releasing all tension and tightness.
I sense this love now flowing to my right eye, and it now moves in circles around my right eye. With each breath, I feel a deeper state of relaxation.
The flow of love now moves to my right temple, again creating small circles to release any tension stored here. And each breath places me in a deeper state of relaxation.
The light of love now travels to my forehead. It gently and lovingly massages my forehead, removing any tightness, any worry. I take deep breaths and allow the love erase any stress, anxiety or fear. With each breath, I move to a deeper state of relaxation.
Slowly, deeply, I am more relaxed. The flow of love now moves to my left temple, creating circles to release any tension stored here.
I sense this love now moving to my left eye, and now it moves in circles around my left eye. With each breath, I am more and more relaxed. Sinking into a deeper state of relaxation.
Love from my heart now goes to the back of my neck, travelling down my back, creating relaxation across my shoulder blades. I feel more relaxed and comfortable with each breath. This love continues to every part of my upper back and I feel the abundance of love as I keep breathing deeply.
The flow of love now moves to my lower back, sending a deep relaxation and ease to my lower back muscles. I continue my deep breaths, and with each breath, I feel tension releasing and more and more relaxation.
The warmth of this love is like the best massage experience ever. I continue in my state of relaxation as I breathe deeply and smoothly.
My entire back is in a relaxed state and all of my internal organs are relaxed and comfortable.
This love from my heart now flows to my left hip. It travels down my left leg and moves to my knee, creating a deeper state of relaxation. It flows down to my left ankle, as I continue to relax.
From my ankle, this love moves across my foot, to my toes. This love spreads to each of my toes. One by one, they relax. The warmth of this love now moves across the bottom of my left foot, to my heel, and back to my ankle.
On my left leg, I feel the love flowing up my calf to the back of my knee. With each deep breath, my muscles relax. This love now flows up the back of my leg to my left glute and back to my hip.
My entire left leg is now deeply relaxed and comfortable.
The light of love now flows from my heart to my right hip. It now travels down the front of my leg, relaxing my muscles, moves to my knee and with each breath, takes me to a deeper relaxed state. This light of love now flows down to my ankle, and I am deeply relaxed.
From my ankle, this love moves across my foot, to my toes. This love spreads to each of my toes. One by one, they relax. The warmth of this love now moves across the bottom of my right foot, to my heel. I feel my entire right foot relax. The flow of love now moves back to my ankle, and up my calf to the back of my knee. I feel all the muscles of my right leg relax. With each breath, the flow of love moves back up my leg, to my right glute, and back to my right hip
My entire right leg is now deeply relaxed and comfortable.
My body is now completely filled with love from my heart. I breathe smoothly and comfortably. I am aware of this source of love reaching to every part of my body. I am connected to myself and in a relaxed state. I am receiving this moment and all the love it has within it. I continue in this relaxed pose for as long as I need. I am thankful for love. I am thankful for my body and the loving ways it serves me. I am relaxed.

You Are Enough
Life can get difficult. Jobs are lost, hearts are broken, plans get changed, things go wrong. We’ve all been there.
But when life gives you lemons, how do you cope? How do you navigate through grief with resilience? How do you control your emotions instead of letting them control you?
Maybe you have unhealthy coping strategies. Maybe you bury your emotions, talk down to yourself, or power through the day without allowing yourself even a moment of rest and reflection.
Sound familiar? Not anymore.
