Releasing stress and overwhelm.
Today through a meditation.
People work.
With what is coming up for us.
The feelings of overwhelm.
The feelings of stress.
The heaviness that you're carrying.
Right now in this moment.
Give yourself permission.
To release the heaviness of what it is.
That you're carrying.
I encourage you to close your eyes to find a peaceful,
Comfortable space.
And to just feel where you're at right now.
To feel what comes up.
To be right here,
Right now,
As you are.
Whatever thoughts come up,
That's okay.
Whatever feelings come up,
That's okay too.
Allow yourself to just be here in this moment.
Eyes closed,
Body relaxed.
Just to arrive as you are right now.
Notice right now how you are feeling.
How does your body feel in this moment?
How does your mind feel in this moment?
Does it feel busy?
Does it feel occupied?
Is your mind louder than your emotions?
No judgment,
Just to be as you are right now.
Knowing that you are held in this very moment.
Together,
We'll take one big breath in.
And when you're ready,
Exhale and release.
Allow your breathing to return to normal.
Carrying stress and emotional overwhelm is heavy.
It's uncomfortable.
It sometimes feels unsettling or painful.
It can cause us to feel overloaded.
Or perhaps carry a lot of worry.
In this moment.
We're going to give ourselves permission.
To release the overwhelmed.
To allow the heaviness to feel lighter.
To allow the stress to minimize,
To soften.
And to give ourselves permission.
To let go what it is that we cannot control right now in this very moment.
Know that you are safe.
Know that you are held.
Know that you are loved.
And right now in this moment.
Give yourself permission to be present with how you're feeling.
But also to give yourself permission.
To release.
Let's take one big,
Healing,
Deep breath in.
When you get to the top of your breath,
Just hold it for one or two seconds.
And when you're ready,
Exhale,
And as you do,
Feel yourself softening,
Letting go,
Releasing.
Allowing the stress,
The overwhelm.
To soften,
To lighten,
To be released with the breath.
Let's do this two more times.
One big breath in.
Hold it at the top for a second or two.
And as you exhale,
Soften.
Release.
Let go.
Doesn't have to look or feel any particular way.
Allow it to be what feels good for you in this moment.
And another big breath in all the way to the top.
Hold for one or two seconds.
And as you exhale,
Give yourself permission to just in this moment,
Let go,
Release.
You are safe.
You are held and you are loved.
Allow your breathing to return to normal.
And notice with every exhale,
Your body feels softer.
Your mind feels more at ease.
Your overwhelm has dialed down.
Your stress has lowered.
With every exhale.
Turn the dial down more.
Turn the dial down on stress,
On overwhelm.
With every exhale.
Soften.
Release.
Let go.
As we come to the end of our meditation together.
I encourage you.
To allow your exhale throughout the day.
To be a space where you can release.
Knowing that you are held.
Knowing that all will be well.
Trusting.
That all will be well,
Even when we let go,
Even when we release.
Remember.
You are held.
You are safe.
You are loved.
And with every exhale is the opportunity.
To release in that moment.
I wish for you a beautiful day.
