DEEP RELAXATION

Now let us put our hymnals aside and anything that may disturb us.

Begin by getting comfortable in your seats
perhaps with your feet flat on the floor and

your hands resting in your lap in a palms up receiving position,
and then gently closing your eyes.

 

Take a couple of deep, slow breaths and let the "out" breaths be real "letting go" kinds of breaths.

You are beginning to release any tension or discomfort in your body.

Now that you have learned to relax, you will find your body and mind relax more quickly and more easily than ever before.

As you focus your attention on each part of your body, you can invite it to release and relax any tension that may be there, and then merely allow it to release in its own way.


Focus your awareness on your left foot, and invite your left foot to release and relax any tension it may be holding.

Notice the beginning sensations of relaxation in that foot.

In the same way, invite your right foot to release and relax any tension that might be there.

Invite the muscles of your left calf and shin to release.

And your right calf and shin.

Just notice and allow your lower legs to relax in their own way, becoming more comfortable and at ease all the while.


Remember, as each part of you relaxes, all of you relaxes more deeply, and as you relax more deeply, each part can relax even more easily.

Invite your left thigh and hamstrings to release and relax, and your right thigh and hamstrings.

Allow your hips and pelvis to join in this letting go and releasing of tension.

Allow your entire lower body to release and relax and notice the relaxing sensations.

Allow it to be a comfortable and pleasant experience.

Invite your lower back and buttocks to join in releasing and relaxing any tension that may be there.

And in your lower pelvic area.


Invite your abdomen to relax and the muscles of your abdomen and your midback to join in this deeper, more comfortable state of relaxation.

Invite the organs in your abdominal cavity to also join in this letting go, releasing and relaxing.

Just allow that whole lower half of your body to let go and become even more deeply comfortable and at ease.

Invite your chest muscles and the muscles between your shoulder blades to release and relax becoming soft and at ease.

The organs in your chest joining in this deeper, more comfortable state.


Imagine your shoulders and neck muscles becoming soft, releasing any tension that may be there.

Allowing them to take a well-deserved rest.

And this relaxation flowing down over your shoulders into your upper arms, elbows, forearms, wrists, and hands.


Invite all the small muscles of your hands

In between the fingers, to release and relax and become very comfortable and deeply relaxed.

Your index fingers, middle fingers, ring fingers, little fingers, and your thumbs deeply relaxed, all the way to the very tips.


Allow your scalp and forehead to release and relax, any tension that may be there becoming soft and smooth and at ease.

The muscles of your face soft and at ease.

And allowing a very pleasant sense of relaxation to come into the small muscles all around your eyes.

Inviting those muscles to release any tension and to feel that sense of letting go flowing through your face and jaws, neck and shoulders, and all the way down.


And as your body relaxes more deeply, your mind becomes quiet and peaceful as well.

You have released all the tension of the day.

Now whatever thoughts are wandering around in the mind, let them go.

For just this moment, here and now, relax from all fear, guilt, worry, and doubt.

This is your time, a time for healing and inner reflection.

 

Our Healers are available at the back of the room –
If anyone would like healing today,
please feel free to go to our healers during meditation.

(Re-start guided meditation)

Let your mind focus inward now. Until finally you find yourself deep within, at the very centre of your being, that very secret place within, where you become at one with Spirit.

Let your mind travel now, to your favorite place, a place that only you can envision for yourself, a place where you may greet your spirit friends, be they angels, guides or counsellors, and feel the loving warmth of their presence, and acknowledge their gentle, caring support in all you do. You know that they are there for you always, you need only ask, and accept.

Experience now the uplifting of your own inner spirit, as you feel yourself drawing closer to the presence of the Infinite Spirit. Allow yourself to enjoy the beauty of this moment of spiritual connection, as you listen to the music in the background. Reflect on the easing of your spiritual pathway as you accept the helping hand of the Divine Presence ... Know that in the infinite reaches of the Divine Power, wisdom, and awareness, you will always be secure in your journey through life.

And now, with a silent word of thanks to the Almighty in gratitude for these few moments of serenity and peace, you prepare to return to the here and now with a renewed sense of commitment to your path of spiritual enlightenment, and a feeling of being refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally, ready to face the coming days of the week, with renewed vigour and determination.

Opening your eyes now, feeling fine and in perfect health, much better than before.
