00:03Welcome, my name is Roberta Brown.
00:06I'm a registered nurse at Greenwich
00:09Hospital and I'm the integrative
00:11medicine and Healing touch coordinator.
00:15I would like to offer you a sound healing
00:21meditation that helps to calm the mind.
00:25And relax the whole body.
00:28I will be focusing today on helping the
00:32body to clear to have peaceful thoughts
00:36or whatever thoughts that come in.
00:39But usually when the vibrations begin,
00:42the body relaxes and the mind slows down.
00:47The thoughts slow down.
00:49So this is an opportunity for you
00:53to give yourself some self care.
00:56From self for some self love and I
00:59will be getting in a comfortable
01:01position in just a moment.
01:04And I invite you to get in
01:06a comfortable position.
01:08You can either sit in a chair with
01:11your feet on the floor or you can lie
01:14down even on your bed or a yoga mat
01:18wherever you're most comfortable.
01:20Perhaps putting a pillow under
01:22your head if you're lying down
01:25in a bolster under your knees.
01:28This will be an opportunity for you to
01:32experience sound as a healer for the body,
01:36mind and spirit,
01:37and it brings the cells back in harmony.
01:41It also relaxes your nervous system
01:44to help you to come out of the stress
01:49response and come into the relaxation
01:52response which is rest and digest.
01:55So I hope you enjoy it.
01:59And I will begin in just a moment.
02:23So taking this moment to center yourself.
02:27And coming into presence.
02:30Right here right now.
02:39By beginning to notice your breath.
02:43Notice your breath as it
02:46moves through your lungs.
02:49You don't have to change it in any way,
02:53just simply allowing it to flow. With ease.
03:00And notice your physical body.
03:04As you rest, either in
03:06the chair or lying down.
03:08Notice that there's any
03:10physical tension anywhere.
03:11Perhaps you can let the breath
03:13go to that part of the body.
03:26And thoughts come in as they do.
03:29Allow them to pass like a cloud over a
03:33landscape and simply bring your attention
03:35back to the awareness of the breath.
03:45As soon as we begin to notice our breath.
03:49That slows the mind down.
03:52It slows the thoughts and we come
03:55into the body and we can come
03:58into the heart center where the
04:01intelligence and wisdom lies.
04:04So I'm going to be guiding
04:07you through a body scan.
04:09So that you can just allow your body
04:12to melt into the chair or the floor,
04:16releasing any tension.
04:18There's nothing to do, and there's
04:21nowhere to go simply being present.
04:25Listening.
04:27Observing.
04:28Any sounds that are coming
04:32into your awareness.
04:37And if any emotions bubble up inside,
04:40allow them to be present and accept them.
04:45Breathing in and breathing
04:47out to the whole experience.
05:00Bring your attention.
05:02Down to the soles of your feet.
05:07Notice your feet begin to
05:11relax the feet. The muscles,
05:16the tendons, the ligaments.
05:19Hearing you owe me.
05:27Noticing the angles.
05:30Just allowing the fetus play
05:33out relaxing the muscles.
05:38Then you owe me.
05:47To the ship.
05:51Allowing relaxation to float up.
05:56You owe me. Softening,
06:01having a deep letting go.
06:18Noticing the thighs front and back.
06:22Allowing them to relax and soften.
06:35You're saying it helps the pelvis?
06:42The internal organs in the low belly feel a
06:47relaxation of the internal
06:50organs in the belly.
06:57And so fitting the low back
07:01as this wave of relaxation.
07:05Comes up into the low back in the belly.
07:14As you continue to rest in
07:17the awareness of the breath
07:20as the breath breathes you. Bring
07:24attention into the torso. The rib cage.
07:33The middle back.
07:36Notice the back body.
07:43Notice the heart center. The
07:48lungs as breath flows with ease in and out.
08:15go of whatever is present for you.
08:20And allowing an acceptance.
08:25As the wave of relaxation comes up
08:28into the neck and the shoulders.
08:42Allowing this wave of relaxation to go
08:46down your arms. The elbows the forearm.
08:53The wrist, the palms and fingers
08:57feeling palmz alive would sensation.
09:06Moving awareness back to
09:08the neck and throat area.
09:10Relaxing all the muscles front,
09:13back and sides. Up into the jaw.
09:19Release the job by opening
09:21the mouth slightly.
09:24Laxing the tongue. In the back of the throat.
09:31Relaxing your eyes and softening the eyes,
09:35perhaps closing them if that feels good.
09:48Notice ears listening. Hearing
09:55hearing sound, perhaps inside
09:57the body and around you.
10:04Relaxing the skull and the scalp.
10:13Relaxing all the muscles in the face.
10:22Relaxing the mind, the brain.
10:30Feel a deep letting go of the whole body. As
10:37you begin to allow your subconscious to
10:41receive the soothing vibrations of the
10:44Tibetan Singing Bowl as they wash in,
10:48around and through you and allow
10:52any healing to take place.
10:56For your highest good. Relaxing
11:00the whole body now. Feeling heavy.
21:03Slowly and gently begin to bring
21:08your awareness back to the room.
21:12Back to your body. Back to your breath.
21:19Begin to notice your back body resting
21:23either in the chair or on the Earth.
21:29Notice your front body.
21:31And notice all the space around you.
21:40I invite you to take in a deep full breath.
21:45A conscious breath.
21:47As you inhale that lifegiving oxygen.
21:51At Life force energy.
21:54That vitality going to
21:56all the cells of the body.
21:59And on the exhale,
22:01releasing and letting go anything
22:03that no longer serves you.
22:10And when you're ready.
22:14Begin to wiggle fingers and toes.
22:18Perhaps moving the body a little bit?
22:22If you're in the chair, you can
22:24move your neck or your shoulders.
22:28Reawakening integrating
22:30back to this moment now.
22:34The only moment there is.
22:38And if you're lying down,
22:40you can either stay there,
22:42or you can go to your side
22:44and push yourself up to a
22:47comfortable seated position.
22:51And just take some time to be quiet
22:54for the rest of this practice
22:57as you begin to integrate back.
23:00Into your normal activities.
23:03And I wish you a beautiful day.
23:07Thank you for your attention.
