Welcome to this guided meditation.

This is for anyone who's feeling anxious right now.

If you can find a spot to simply rest for just a few moments.

I invite you to place your right hand on your heart and take your left hand and wrap it around your right shoulder.

Take a deep breath in.

You may rest your hands and arms or continue to give yourself this gentle hug.

Whatever feels the best to you.

We're going to continue to take some slow deep breaths.

And as we do this,

Imagine yourself breathing in peace and calm.

What does peace and calm look like?

What would it feel like entering in your body?

With every exhale,

Let go of a little bit of that anxiety.

Imagine it just leaving your body ever so gently.

With every inhale,

You're breathing in peace and calm.

Exhaling out anxiety with gratitude.

Thank you.

Thank you for helping me see that I can regulate.

That I am stronger than the circumstances around me.

That my body and my consciousness can be in harmony.

I can move forward with more ease and flow.

Slow,

Slow deep breaths.

See if you can lengthen that breath a little bit.

Bringing it in a little bit deeper,

A little bit wider.

Perhaps holding at the top and the bottom for just a moment.

With the next few breaths,

I invite you to complete the sentence,

I am grateful for.

And repeat it again to yourself.

I am grateful for.

And then on the exhale breath,

Stating that which you are grateful for.

No judgment around what comes up as you take that big breath in,

Saying to yourself,

I am grateful for.

At the top of the breath,

Making that choice and then letting go.

And letting the universe and your heart know that what you are grateful for.

Breathing in,

I am grateful for.

Holding it,

What does it feel like to be grateful for this thing?

And then stating it with the exhale breath.

Allowing it to move through your mind,

Connect down into your heart.

Everything will work out.

Everything will be okay.

Especially when I can enter it with calm and peace.

Imagine your heart opening up to receive the lessons of this experience.

Allowing your heartbeat to slow down.

Allowing the mind's racing to slow down.

Thank you for being here.

Continue to take as many slow deep breaths as you need until you feel like you are at a place where you can take the most loving next step.

Thank you for choosing and thank you for being here.

Be kind to yourself.

My name is Eva Payne.

Namaste.
