Here’s a Sample of the “Notice and Accept Your Body in the Present Moment” Guided Meditation Script:
We will do a brief body scanthat is helpful for anxiety, depression, insomnia and pain.The body scan is a mindfulness practicethat will allow you some timeto be in your body fullyand to get to know how it’s feeling right nowwith your attention and awareness.It offers a time to learn to effectively sit with body sensations,like discomfort and tension.The focus of this practiceis not to try to change anything about our experience.Remember,there is no right way to feel in the moment.The key to this practice is actually to simply notice and accept(your body) whatever is present in the current moment.As we go through this practice,I’m going to guide youto focus on various areas of the bodynoticing whatever arises.If you realize you’ve become distractedor your mind wanders off,simply tune back into the sound of my voiceand pick up with the practice.
You can begin this practiceby finding a comfortable positioneither sitting or lying down.You might find thatif you lie down while doing this practicethat you become tired and sleepy.The goal of this practice isto try to stay present and awake in your experience,so if you do find that you become drowsy,it might be best to find a comfortable sitting position.But what’s most important isthat you feel comfortable.So take a momentand find a comfortable position,and allow your body to come to stillness.When you’re ready,gently close your eyes.Take a momentto feel your body as a whole.
