This is a bitesize meditation for rapid relief during overwhelm. No preparation or specific position needed, just listen as you are, wherever you are. May the peace and calmness come and find you again, even if for a moment.

Transcript

Take a deep breath in and a big breath out.

Repeat this a few times as you soften with each breath.

Whisper to yourself,

I am safe in this moment.

I am safe in this moment.

I am safe.

Wrap your right elbow under your left elbow and hold your shoulders with opposite hands.

Give yourself a soft,

Comforting hug.

Breathe into this hug.

It's okay.

You are safe.

And it is safe to be.

Feel how your body and mind soften and slow down.

Tell yourself,

I bend but I don't break.

I have done hard things before.

I can do this too.

My breath is my safe harbour.

Now,

Instead of having to do all these things that you think you should be doing,

I invite you to tune into your body and hear what it needs right now.

Just one next step.

Do you need to take a nap?

Do you need to eat?

Or do you need to take a walk?

What do you need to do?

Please remember,

You are safe in this moment.

You are here.

You are steady.

You are whole.

You got this.
