Welcome back to the Living Musically Podcast. Today’s episode we are going to be using meditation to heal our bodies.
The beginning part of this meditation is one that I typically use at the beginning of my meditations and that’s a self check. We’ll take a close look at each part of our bodies and try to feel and listen to what they’re telling us. Sometimes we can feel pain or tension sometimes we won’t feel anything. All we are doing is taking note of what we feel at each part.
As I concentrate on each section I can sometimes feel a tingling sensation as I focus. Other people might feel different things. There is no right or wrong feeling. As you focus on your body, notice if it’s warm or cold. You might notice that there is pain. Also notice if there is tension. If there is tension try to relax the tension. What you might find is that your tension in one area might be related to another area of your body.
Let’s begin our meditation:
Get into a comfortable position. You can sit, stand or lie down. You can close your eyes or not.
Take a deep breath in
Exhale
Take a deep breath in
Exhale
Take a deep breath in
Exhale
Take a deep breath in
Exhale
Take a deep breath in
Exhale
Let your breath return to normal
Bring your attention to your left foot
Focus on your toes to start now, move to your whole foot.
Now move up to your shin and calf.
Move up to your thigh
Now take a full inventory of your left leg as a whole
Now move to your right foot and start at your toes. Now move up to your foot, your shin and calf, your thigh
Now move to your glutes start with your left glute. And now your right
Now i’m going to ask you to engage the muscles in your lower body and relax. Each time you relax. I want you to imagine your legs sinking down deeper in to the chair or bed each time you relax
Now engage the muscles in your body from your waist down.
Squeeze them tightly, and relax.
Engage again, and relax
Engage and relax
If you felt any discomfort or pain. Imagine a bright white light shining on to your spots of pain or discomfort. Feel them getting warmer.
Now let the light fade away.
Now move to your stomach and lower back
Up to your chest and upper back
Next move to your left hand start with your fingers and work your way up to your whole hand, your forearm, your bicep and tricep and then your shoulder
Now move to your right hand starting at the tips of your fingers, moving up to your hand, your forearm, your bicep and tricep, and then your shoulder
Just like before we are going to engage the muscles but this time above our waist and below our neck.
Engage and relax
Engage and Relax
Engage and Relax
If you felt any discomfort or pain. Imagine a bright white light shining on to your spots of pain or discomfort. Feel them getting warmer.
Now let the light fade away.
Now bring your focus to your neck, up to your jaw and your tongue, up to your nose, your eyes, your forehead and finally the top of your head
Just like before we are going to engage the muscles but this time above our shoulders
Engage and relax
Engage and Relax
Engage and Relax
If you felt any discomfort or pain. Imagine a bright white light shining on to your spots of pain or discomfort. Feel them getting warmer.
Now let the light fade away.
Now we’re going to engage our whole bodies. Each time you relax imagine gravity is pulling your body down to Earth with more force.
Engage and relax
Engage and Relax
Engage and Relax
Now I want you to imagine your whole body is now surrounded by that bright warming light
Now let the light slowly fade away
Take a deep breath
Exhale
Take a deep breath
Exhale
Take one more deep breath, make it the biggest breath of the day and exhale
Let your breath return to normal
