Welcome to today's Guided Meditation
in Honor of World Musical Therapy Day.
Music is a beautiful tool for healing
so today we are going to move our bodies to music
to help process and shift emotion.
Begin in a comfortable position with eyes closed.
Connect with your breath,
feeling the gentle rise
and fall of your chest.
Notice the natural cadence of your breath...
and simply be with it for a moment.
Breathing in...
and out.
In...
and out.
Let's tune in to the music now.
There are many ways
you can choose to engage with music.
You can listen, and receive in that way...
Feel for the vibrations of the music if you cannot hear it...
Or simply listen to music
playing in your head and in your heart.
Take a moment to be with any emotions
that are moving through you right now.
What has been playing in your mind
and moving in your heart of late?
Allow yourself to move around in
any way that feels good.
This does not have to be dance.
It does not have to look a certain way.
Really tap into the emotions
moving through you right now.
Connect with the music
and allow your body to express it through movement.
Take a moment now to come back to stillness
and be present...
What has shifted inside of you?
What did you learn from the music and movement?
Just be present with this for a moment.
Come back again to your breath,
feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest...
Notice where your body meets the surface that you rest on...
Breathing in..
and out.
In...
and out.
In...
and out.
And whenever you are ready...
Slowly open your eyes.
