In this meditation, I guide you through a simple practice of noticing, tensing and relaxing different parts of the body.
Many of us carry tension without fully realising it. This practice helps bring gentle awareness to the body, allowing stress and tightness to become more visible and easier to release.
We begin by settling into stillness and checking in with ourselves, before gradually moving awareness through the body as though shining a torchlight on each area.
From here, the meditation gently introduces cycles of tension and release, beginning with the feet and moving upward through the body.
As each area softens, the breath becomes a way of releasing held tension, helping the body settle into a deeper state of relaxation and ease.
This is not about forcing the body to relax, but about becoming aware of what it is holding and allowing it to soften naturally.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or preparing for sleep, helping you feel lighter, calmer and more physically at ease.
This meditation supports relaxation, stress relief and body awareness.
