The 5-Minute Meditations series was created to help us fit in time for meditation, relaxation, and looking inward – even when we’re busy. You guessed it, meditations are usually 5 minutes or less, meaning only .04% of your day. The 5-Minute Meditations series is a great introduction to meditation for beginners, and a helpful resource for more experienced practitioners.
This third installment of the series is a short meditation in which we can relax into any experiences in our body – such as emotions, sensations, memories, or urges – and allow them to move or shift on their own.
This meditation was inspired by meditations via Self-Compassion.org.

Before starting, find a comfortable seated position or even feel free to lie down – find the position that will be most comfortable and peaceful for your practice today.

Thank you

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Beth. Meditation can be so helpful and, yes, even a short period of time can feel like a rejuvenating ‘power nap’.
Very soothing exercise…
I’m glad it did the trick, Annette.
I enjoyed this meditation and it gave me a boost for the rest of myevening.

It’s amazing how meditation cannot only be relaxing, while also increasing energy. Hopefully this helps you begin a practice.
