“A Meditation - Focus on and allow tension to be removed from your body. Take a deep breath and as you exhale, focus on your body, allowing tension to be felt and become aware of the tension leaving your body. As you breathe focus on your body parts, beginning with your scalp, your forehead and between your eyes, as you breathe out allow the tension to leave your body. Let your scalp and forehead and around your eyes relax. Now focus on your cheeks, mouth and throat. Feel the areas and feel the cells under the skin slowing to a relaxed state. Go down to your neck, your shoulders, chest and arms, elbows, hands, fingers, when they are in a relaxed state, feel your attention moving up to your chest, relaxed and removing any tension that is there. The tightened areas will become in a relaxed state when you think about the feeling and imagine all the cells under your skin slowing down and relaxing. Take a deep breath and as you exhale focus on your body, allowing tension to be felt and become aware of the tension leaving your body. Acknowledge your abdomen, stomach, bottom, legs, knees, ankles, toes and soles of your feet, all body areas, which are recognizable to you. This is a very effective way of getting in touch with your body. Your body is working with your mind in strengthening your entire being. Allowing the mind to quieten is easier when you can experience a physical letting go. Experiences and emotions can get stuck inside the body and until they are released will delay and even stop the better feelings and emotions being felt. Repetition is important.”
