Finding peace during uncertainty,
A meditation for coping with job loss with Angelica Janic.
Dealing with job loss can be a challenging and emotional experience,
Causing feelings of uncertainty,
Anxiety,
And stress.
It can be a difficult time,
But meditation can be a powerful tool to help individuals cope with these feelings and find a sense of peace and clarity during this transition.
To begin,
Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit or lie down,
And when you get there,
Take a few deep breaths in through the nose and out of the nose,
Allowing your body and mind to relax.
If you're feeling more tense today,
Inhaling through the nose,
Holding the peak of your inhalation,
Before exhaling out of the mouth,
As you breathe,
Visualize a calm and peaceful scene that can be from a favorite vacation that you took,
Curling up on the couch with a warm cup of tea,
Or perhaps being in a very warm mood.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Focus your attention on your body,
Noticing any areas of discomfort or tension,
And allow yourself to feel the sensations without judgment or resistance.
Simply observe the breath and allow yourself to be present in the moment.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Imagine yourself being surrounded by a supportive and loving community,
Such as family,
Friends,
Colleagues,
Even your pets.
Visualize their love and support surrounding you,
Gratitude for their presence in your life.
As you bask in the warmth and love of this community,
Reflect on your own strength and resilience.
Remember that you are capable of overcoming challenges and that you have the power to transform your life.
Visualize yourself surrounded by a bright and radiant light,
Representing your own inner strength and power.
As you continue to breathe deeply and visualize this inner strength,
Repeat the following affirmations to yourself.
I am strong and resilient and have the power to overcome this challenge.
I am surrounded by love and support and I am grateful for the people in my life.
I trust in the abundance and the flow of the universe and no new opportunities will come my way.
Allow yourself to repeat these affirmations,
Feeling their positive energy resonating within you.
Know that you are not alone in your journey and that you have the love and support of the universe surrounding you.
As you continue to breathe deeply and visualize this positive energy,
Allow yourself to release any negative emotion or thoughts that may be holding you back.
Acknowledge any fears or concerns that you may have about the future and allow yourself to feel them without judgment or resistance.
As you breathe,
Imagine yourself releasing these negative emotions and thoughts,
Allowing them to flow out of your body and mind like a river,
Feeling a sense of peace and clarity washing over you.
As you let go of the past and embrace the present moment,
As you continue to breathe deeply and visualize this sense of peace,
Reflect on the new opportunities and possibilities that may come your way.
Allow yourself to be open and receptive to new experiences.
Trust in the abundance and flow of the universe.
Visualize yourself surrounded by a bright and radiant light,
Representing the new opportunities and possibilities that are available to you.
See yourself moving forward with confidence and courage,
Embracing the unknown with a sense of excitement and joy.
As you continue to breathe deeply and visualize this positive energy,
Allow yourself to feel a sense of gratitude for this new chapter in your life.
Know that with each breath,
You are moving closer to your goals and dreams.
And that you are capable of achieving great things.
Taking a deep breath in through the nose,
Filling the entire body with space.
Exhaling out of the mouth.
Repeating these affirmations to seal the work that you've done today.
I am strong and resilient,
And I have the power to overcome this challenge.
I am surrounded by love and support,
And I am grateful for the people in my life.
I trust in the abundance and flow of the universe,
And I know that new opportunities will come my way.
Remember that dealing with job loss can be difficult and an emotional experience.
But with the power of meditation and positive affirmations,
You can find a sense of peace and clarity during this transition.
Trust in the process,
And know that new opportunities and possibilities are available to you as you move forward with confidence and courage.
Taking five more mindful breaths to close our meditation.
You're welcome to stay if you need more time,
But when you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes and take a few moments to reflect on your meditation.
Notice any changes in your body and mind.
And carry this new sense of peace,
Acceptance,
And optimism with you throughout your day.
Have you enjoyed this meditation?
Be sure to come back and share with your loved ones.
