Welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your host
Unknown:Aurora, and I'm very grateful to be spending some time with you
Unknown:today. If you want to relax, unwind, reflect, then this is
Unknown:the place to be, you can go back to season one and pick out
Unknown:meditation that suits you. Or you can listen to several
Unknown:inspirational talks that I titled so that you can pick what
Unknown:is best for you today. Today, I want to guide you through a body
Unknown:scan. This will be more of a relaxation than meditation. When
Unknown:we meditate, we, most of the time, sit up straight, you can
Unknown:also lay down but today I would like you to lay down on the
Unknown:floor on the ground on a mat. Or you can lay down on your couch,
Unknown:on your bed, whatever is most comfortable for you have
Unknown:comfortable clothes on
Unknown:and
Unknown:maybe see, organize it that way that you have nothing important
Unknown:to do. After this little session here as you can just unwind and
Unknown:relax or just have a super lazy day. He'd pizza and drink coke
Unknown:cuz we need those days too. Alright, find your space where
Unknown:you are at peace undisturbed, and just can lay down.
Unknown:And then close your eyes. Preferably have your arms like a
Unknown:little bit spread apart from your body and your palms facing
Unknown:up to the sky. Take a deep breath in and exhale and inhale
Unknown:and exhale. And today with this body scan, don't worry if you
