Finding Joy Inside Yourself

In moments of sadness, distraction, anxiety, or anger, it's easy to become entangled in a self-limiting storyline. This meditation invites you to gently return to the present, not by pushing feelings away, but by witnessing & welcoming them with awareness.

Featuring the soothing tones of the handpan, this sound meditation offers a grounding space to sit with your emotions without becoming them. Let the music & breath guide you back to your center: laugh, let go, and enjoy the present.

Perfect for starting or ending your day with a sense of calm, trust & presence.

Transcript

I'm feeling overwhelmed,

Stressed out,

Depressed,

Worried,

Fearful,

Insecure,

Bored,

Restless.

Deep breaths and see if we can let go of some of the pain and come back to faith.

And I'm flexing the belly,

Relaxing the face,

The jaw,

The lips,

The forehead.

Think.

Now is the time to let your mind be totally free to think.

Taking a deep breath in.

Holding the breath at the top,

Becoming aware as you hold the breath.

And exhale,

Let go.

Taking a deep breath in.

Holding the breath,

Feeling your presence as you hold the breath.

And exhale.

Taking a deep breath in.

And a deep breath out.

May this day with you,

My friend.

So happy you would join me today.

Wishing you encouragement on your path.

Keep going,

Keep believing in yourself to overcome.

Breathing into the whole body.

And exhale,

Releasing,

Softening.

Breathing into the heart.

And exhale,

Opening the chest.

Opening the heart.

Feeling your heart more sensitive,

Receptive,

Alive.

Breathing into the belly.

Feeling the face relaxed,

Shoulders relaxed,

Feeling the mind relaxed.

So you take one last deep breath for now.

The color for today is white.

The number is 88.

And the animal is a possum.

I thank you for joining me across time and space.

Sending you a big hug,

My dear friend.

Wishing you an abundance of love,

Resourcefulness,

Creativity,

And consciousness.

Be kind to yourself,

Be kind to other people.

Kindness isn't some sort of weakness,

But an intelligent approach to life.

When we're kind,

We feel actually it's easier to enjoy life than when we're being mean or critical.

And you can observe this very easily.

Just see how it feels when you lose your temper and lash out or be really short with somebody.

Or be very critical of yourself.

Just notice how that feels versus being kind to others,

Being kind to yourself,

How that feels.

And with that,

I will see you back here tomorrow with love.
