Hello everyone, welcome to this episode of the Mindful in Minutes podcast.
It is that time of year again.
It is the sniffles and coughs and body aches time of year.
So I thought we need a practice to help recharge and support our immune systems.
So we're going to dive right into the practice today.
You already know the drill.
If you want to leave a review, you want to share with a friend, I'd be so grateful.
But you know the drill.
You know why we're here.
So when you're ready, just make sure that you give yourself a moment to get comfy and cozy
and that you can take this next bit of time to honor your body
and give yourself the care that you need right now.
And as you're settling in, take a few moments to just check with how your body's feeling.
Maybe you're a little under the weather, or maybe you're feeling fine.
Regardless, just ask yourself, how is my body feeling today?
And then observe your body's response without judgment and begin to breathe
with a low, slow, deep breath in and an effortless, smooth breath out.
Feel the cool air entering through your nose, expanding into your lungs,
and then release it all with a gentle exhale.
Allowing any tension in your body to soften and release.
So allow your breath to flow naturally and effortlessly in and out of your body.
And with each breath, allow any areas of tension or stress in your body begin to soften.
Feel any of that tightness or fatigue, let it just release, soften,
as if someone came up and placed a warm stone or a heated blanket on that area of tension.
Instantly feeling these areas become comforted as you continue to breathe.
Let this breath signal to your body and to your nervous system that it's safe,
and it's okay to enter a place of deep relaxation and restoration here.
Continue to breathe. Imagine each inhale brings an oxygen and nourishment to your
body and immune system. And every exhale calms your nervous system and your mind
as you drift deeper into relaxation and rest. And now bring your attention to your body
and visualize your body working hard every day to support you and your health.
In your mind's eye, see a cool blue light begin to surround your body,
creating a cocoon of comfort, nourishment, and vitality all around you.
See this blue light begin to flow into any areas of your body that may feel sick or inflamed or
tense. Feel every inhale bring nourishment, support, and health into your body. Every exhale
calm you and let go of that stress or illness or inflammation you have in your body.
Just continuing to breathe, allowing every inhale and exhale to support you,
your immune system, your well-being as you breathe and rest in this cocoon of blue light.
Now watch as this blue light continues to move through your body,
allowing every cell in your body to become nourished and recharged. With each breath,
your body is finding that inner balance and is returning to a place of harmony and health.
And with each passing moment, your immune system grows stronger and more resilient,
ready to protect and support you as it recharges in this place of rest and relaxation.
taking a big deep breath in through the nose, an open mouth exhale, sigh it out, letting go,
gently opening the eyes and closing your meditation practice.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
