Hello and welcome to this guided practice.
In this practice we will be gauging a vantage point on any anxious thoughts and feelings we may be dealing with at the moment.
So I'd like to invite you to enter your meditation position.
Take a moment to come into your body.
How are you holding yourself right now?
And if it feels possible,
I'd like to invite you to release any tension you might have relaxing your face,
Your jaw,
Relax your shoulders,
Your tummy.
Now I'd like you to draw your attention towards the uncomfortable feeling that you're experiencing.
Say hello to it.
How does it respond?
Now I'd like you to place your attention upon a part of your body where you notice the feeling manifesting.
I often feel anxiety in my stomach.
Just spend the next few moments feeling into this.
Does it have a colour or a texture or a movement?
See if you can notice this.
I'd like to invite you now to turn towards this feeling and ask it a question.
Why are you here?
How does it respond?
And now I'd like to invite you to speak to the feeling and say thank you for being here.
I understand that you want to help,
But I'm doing just fine at the moment.
If you like,
You can take a break.
Thank you for being here.
I understand that you want to help,
But I'm doing just fine at the moment.
And you can take a break.
And now I'd like to invite you to take a deep inhale,
Keeping your attention on the point of the feeling.
See if you can breathe all the way into the feeling and releasing on an exhale.
And we'll do that twice more.
A full inhale and exhale.
And last time,
Breathing in and releasing.
And when you feel you're ready,
You can open your eyes and come back into the room.
And now I'd like to invite you to speak to the feeling and release.
