We all need a little time to look after ourselves occasionally and meditation is ideal for providing a bit of stress relief and healing.
Try this 20 step healing meditation and feel the stress simply ooze away. Do it every day and your health and well-being will improve immeasurably in a short space of time.
Let's Begin The Healing Meditation
1. Take three deep abdominal breaths, exhaling slowly each time, imagining the tension draining out of your body.
2. Clench your fists. Hold for 10 seconds before releasing and feeling the tension drain out of your body (for 15 seconds).
3. Tighten your biceps by drawing your forearms up toward your shoulders and make a muscle with both arms. Hold (again for 15 seconds as will be the case on all the below), then relax.
4. Tighten your triceps (the muscles underneath your upper arms) by holding out your arms in front of you and locking your elbows. Hold, then relax.
5. Tense the muscles in your forehead by raising your eyebrows as high as you can. Hold then relax.
6. Tense the muscles around your eyes by clenching your eyelids shut. Hold, then relax. Imagine sensations of deep relaxation spreading all over your eyes.
7. Tighten your jaws by opening your mouth so widely that you stretch the muscles.
8. Tighten the muscles in the back of your neck by pulling your head way back, as if you were going to touch your back with your head. Hold, then relax.
9. Take deep breaths and focus on the weight of your head sinking into whatever surface it is resting on.
10. Tighten your shoulders as if you were going to touch your ears. Hold, then relax.
11. Tighten the muscles in your shoulder blades by pushing your shoulder blades back. Hold, then relax.
12. Tighten the muscles of your chest by taking in a deep breath. Hold, then relax.
13. Tighten your stomach muscles by sucking in your stomach in. Hold, then relax.
14. Tighten your lower back by arching it up (don’t do this if you have back pain). Hold, then relax.
15. Tighten your buttocks by pulling them together. Hold, then relax.
16. Squeeze the muscles in your thighs. Hold, then relax.
17. Tighten your calf muscles by pulling your toes towards you. Hold, then relax.
18. Tighten your feet by curling them downwards. Hold, then relax.
19. Mentally scan your body for any leftover tension. If any group remains tense, repeat the exercise for those muscle groups.
20. Now imagine a wave of relaxation spreading over your body.
