I Deserve Peace Meditation

This meditation is designed to help you learn how to sit with the discomfort of anxiety. More often than not we want to run away with it when what we might need to do is sit with it. Using my trauma-informed training to guide you through safely sitting with it and redirecting the energy.

Transcript

This exercise is to be used when you are feeling extra anxious and finding yourself wanting to run away from those anxious feelings.

Find a safe place to sit or lie down and comfortably come into a seated or lying down position.

If it feels safe,

Close your eyes and connect with the anxiety and notice where it lives in your body and wherever it lives.

If it feels safe,

Placing a hand over it or one hand over the other and give the physical sensation of the anxiety a name.

Maybe it's tight or expansive,

Burning,

Cold,

Warm,

Tingly,

Sharp and breathe into it.

And when the mind wants to engage,

Come back down to that physical sensation,

Rename it.

And as you breathe into it,

Just notice what happens.

Maybe it gets a little less,

Maybe it stays the same,

Maybe it gets a little more.

Taking some really deep breaths here,

Breathe into it.

You can visualize each breath growing a light around that area and with each exhale visualizing a little bit of that anxiety leaving your body.

And when you're ready,

Say to yourself aloud or in your head,

Hi,

Anxiety.

I see you.

I feel you.

I hear you.

I know you're not here to harm me.

You're only here to send me a message that something needs attention.

And I know we're scared right now,

But I'm going to sit with you and it's okay.

Taking a deep breath in through your nose,

Out through your mouth and repeat after me.

I deserve peace.

Inhale,

Exhale.

I deserve peace.

Inhale,

Exhale.

I deserve peace.

Inhale,

Exhale.

I deserve peace.

One last deep inhale,

Exhale.

I deserve peace.

Taking as long as you need here,

Breathing into that area.

And when you are ready,

Bringing your eyes open to a soft focus and choose one grounding exercise to do,

Whether it be taking a walk or body scan meditation or eating a good grounding meal and drinking some water or grabbing an ice pack and putting it on your chest.

And just remind yourself that even though this is really uncomfortable and even though it feels like it's going to last forever,

This feeling will pass and you are safe.
