Managing Uncomfortability

In moments of exhaustion, anxiety, overwhelm, or tension, it's easy to become entangled in a self-limiting storyline. This meditation invites you to gently return to the present, not by pushing thoughts or 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.

Welcome my friend,

You're tuned in to OMHAIKU,

I'm your host MAMUNE,

Back with another music meditation.

If you've been experiencing stress,

Overwhelm,

Anxiety,

Frustration,

Loneliness,

Or perhaps even joyfulness,

Peacefulness,

Or somewhere in between,

Know that you're not alone,

We're here to take some deep breaths and see if we can come back home to our awareness,

Beyond the thoughts,

Beyond the emotions,

The anxieties.

That being said,

Getting comfortable my friend,

Becoming aware of how you're sat,

You can lie down or sit up,

Whatever you like,

Bringing more awareness to your whole body,

You're safe to close the eyes,

Tuning deeper inside,

Witnessing and welcoming the mind,

Smiling at the mind,

Dropping the shoulders away from your ears,

Softening the chest,

Softening the throat,

Relaxing the belly,

Taking a deep breath in,

Dropping down from the head into the heart space,

Opening the heart as you breathe in,

Feeling more spaciousness in the spine,

More awareness in the spine,

As you breathe air up,

Holding that breath at the top,

And very gently exhaling the breath back down,

Softening the jaw,

The lips,

The forehead,

Softening the eyes,

As you look in,

Natural for the mind to drift,

Drifting back into awareness,

Now is the time to allow your mind total freedom,

The number is 3,

500.

I thank you for joining me across time and space,

I'm sending you a big hug my dear friend,

Wishing you an abundance of love,

Resourcefulness,

Creativity,

And consciousness.

Remember that when life gets tough and overwhelming,

That the tendency can be to constrict or to narrow,

And the invitation here is that when life gets uncomfortable,

Overwhelming,

To expand,

To become more open,

And with that,

I will see you back here tomorrow,

With love.
