I understand you're feeling overwhelmed.

Let's deal with this together.

Allow your eyes to close or gaze to a fixed point.

Breathing in through your nose filling your lungs with air and exhale letting go.

Breathing in and out.

You are capable of handling challenges that come your way.

You have the power to find calm and confidence within yourself.

Feel your feet connect to you,

To mother earth.

Joining me for this four,

Seven,

Eight breath.

Breathing in for four,

Holding for seven and out for eight.

There should never be any strain.

If there is just do deep breathing in and out.

Breathing in.

Hold.

And out.

In.

Hold.

And out.

In.

Hold.

Out.

Allow your breath now to return to its usual pace.

Mentally say,

I trust in my ability to stay grounded.

I trust in my ability to stay grounded.

Feeling capable,

Deserving of peace.

Visualize yourself firmly rooted down into the ground.

Feeling your feet connected to the air.

When you're ready,

Gently opening your eyes.
