Relaxing Facial Meditation ASMR

 


Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.   I want you to take a deep breath and exhale releasing any tension and stress in your body.  Take another deep breath in inhaling peace and calm an exhale any worries or anxieties.   Take one final deep breath in and with this exhale allow yourself to fully relax.


Now you’re at the spa, waiting for your face treatment.  You are lying on the table.  The therapist knocks on the door and comes in.  The therapist begins by washing your face with a cleanser; removing any dirt or debris.  You’re allowed to just relax.  You have nothing to worry about, nothing to do.  Allow the therapist to take care of you and rejuvenate your skin while the relaxation rejuvenates your mind.  The therapist then begins with gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.  She rubs in a lightly abrasive lotion in a circular motion on your face.  It doesn’t hurt; it just feels a little bit scratchy on your face.  The circular motion also provides a bit of a massage for your skin.  She then uses hot wet towels to remove any remaining lotion or soap, leaving your skin fresh and clean. The Esthetician then puts steam around your face and the warm steam isn’t too hot and feels nice on your face, opening up your pores.   Breathe in the nice warm steam; let it fill your lungs as it an opens up your pores, and opens up your sinuses.  It feels warm and relaxing.  As the steam is complete the therapist places a mask on your skin, avoiding your eyes and your mouth.  As you relax to let them mask dry the therapist massages your shoulders and your arms and your hands.  You are feeling totally relaxed.  Once the mask is dry, warm wet towels are used to remove the mask.  A hydrating lotion is put on your face.  The Esthetician used this time to massage your face, using small hard circles on your forehead and your temple;  sweeping motions with her fingers around eyes and down your nose; Massaging the muscles of your jaw and underneath your mouth and under your nose with sweeping strokes with her fingers.   You are feeling totally relaxed and well taken care of.  As your face treatment completes.


 Now remember that feeling of relaxation as you drift off to sleep, or returned to the room by wiggling your fingers and toes and then opening your eyes.  Remember meditation changes your mind.
