Welcome to MeditationAuasis.com.

This is Mary Maddox.

This is a meditation from our Pure Relaxation CD.

Welcome to this mini relaxation break, begin by sitting comfortably and then close your eyes.

Take a moment to simply become aware of what's being experienced right now.

The sounds you're hearing.

The feeling of your body as it sits on the chair held in place by gravity.

Just sink into that.

Notice the sensations in your body, pleasant and unpleasant.

Not resisting anything that's being experienced.

Notice if there's any tension held anywhere in the body.

And let that go.

Make your shoulders, are they being held a little high?

Let them drop, check your neck, scalp, letting any tension go, all the muscles in your

face, around your eyes, letting them relax, your jaw, how does it feel around your jaw?

Getting your jaw relaxed, if you can even let your mouth drop open.

Bringing your awareness to your breath, noticing the breath moving in and out, the feeling

of the air as it comes in and goes out.

Checking your belly, seeing if it's relaxed, if not let it soften, let it relax, let yourself

breathe into your belly, filling your lungs with air.

As the breath goes out, letting any tension go out with the breath, just relaxing into

that exhalation of the breath.
