Welcome to this guided meditation.
This meditation is to help you if you're feeling nervous or you are planning a trip and you're gonna be on a flight and you're feeling fear,
Or maybe you're already at the airport and waiting to board,
You can listen to it at that time as well.
So go ahead and gently close your eyes and start turning your attention towards your breath.
And take a slow,
Deep inhale,
Just noticing the sensations.
Gentle air entering on your inhale.
And the sensations as you exhale.
Now I want you to picture yourself at your destination.
See the place where you're going.
Imagine the people.
Places,
Experiences waiting for you.
Really take a look around in your mind's eye and see the sights and sounds.
All the sensations of already being there at your destination.
Feel the warmth of arriving.
Feel the happiness of being there.
And allow that peaceful,
Calming,
Enjoyable picture to fill your mind.
And your body.
Returning your attention back to your breath.
And now imagine that you're on the plane.
Just picture yourself walking towards your seat,
Settling in comfortably.
And taking another deep breath in.
And exhaling out.
Breathing in relaxation.
Exhaling tension.
And you imagine the steady sounds of the engines.
And the sound is actually your journey carrying you forward.
And you can picture the gentle movements.
And the physical sensations that you'll experience when you're on the plane and in that seat,
And just remembering that they're temporary.
And they're also part of the journey carrying you forward as you travel to your destination.
And that you will allow each sound and every sensation to just remind you that you are supported.
And you are cared for.
And that you are in capable hands.
And that you can trust in the pilots and the flight crew that they've been trained extensively for this journey.
And you can trust in the aircraft that's carrying you.
To help you arrive at your destination.
And any time your attention drifts.
Or if the fear or nerves arise,
Just return your attention back to your breath and consciously breathing in relaxation and calm.
And exhaling out any tension,
Any nervousness.
And you can breathe in.
That reminder,
I am calm and grounded,
Supported.
I'm capable of doing this.
And exhaling out any tension,
Any fears.
And with every inhale,
You can even imagine yourself that you're getting closer to your destination.
So that when you get on that plane,
You can remind yourself to use your breath to propel you forward.
Now I want you to really breathe in in this moment before you take that journey.
The feeling of gratitude.
Really let yourself connect with gratitude for the people that will help you along the way,
Getting you to where you need to be.
Gratitude for even the opportunity to be able to travel,
That we could even do this and arrive where we need to be.
Picture yourself now that you're actually stepping off the plane and you got to your destination.
You're looking around.
And you arrived safely.
Just really let yourself take in that visual.
So breathing that in,
Breathe in relaxation,
Arriving safely,
Picturing that.
Letting yourself feel that.
And exhaling out any tension,
Any fears.
One more time,
Breathing in relaxation and gratitude.
And exhaling out anything you need to let go of.
So as you prepare for your trip,
Just remember one breath at a time,
One moment at a time.
And that you're moving towards the beautiful moments that are waiting for you at your destination.
I hope you have a great trip.
Thank you so much for listening.
