Stress! For Teens
by Ariel Hardy
This prayer and visualization are for teens who feel stressed out from all of the responsibility on their shoulders. I talk to them about being different. I lead them through a visualization for allowing the stress to fall away. In the end, I pray that their Angels and Guides help them to keep the stress off and to feel light, like a kid again.

Welcome back to the healing room.
I'm going to talk about how to get rid of your stress.
I work with so many teenagers who feel so stressed out,
And you should be.
The amount of things you guys are doing after school,
Before you even can get to your homework,
Is pretty impressive.
So what do you do with all of that stress?
You know,
Where does it go?
I talked to one teenager recently and she said she just can't meditate.
When she sits down and tries,
Her thoughts just take over and nothing happens.
And believe me,
Adults have the same issue.
Everybody's talking about it.
When you hear people talk about meditation,
They're always talking about their thoughts,
Their thoughts,
How to let go of the thoughts,
What to do with the thoughts.
So I'm going to just solve this right now for us.
And I would like to just take you into the way that I meditate,
Which is I use my brain.
So I can't really call it meditation.
It's more like visualization and then prayer.
I use my brain because I'm super creative.
I use it to create because that's a very fast way that I can suddenly feel lit up with God's light,
Surrounded by angels.
You know,
When I was a teenager,
I was very strange,
Very different.
So I remember my English teacher walking over to me and pulling my headsets out of my ears because I had a Walkman back then.
It was called a Walkman.
It was this little chunky big box that you put a tape into.
And he looked at me and goes,
Elevator music,
And hands it back to me.
But he was trying to figure out what was I listening to because I was always so happy when I got to his class because it was the first class of the day.
I walked to school and I listened to my Walkman.
And I would listen to this very uplifting spiritual music.
So he was making fun of it because it wasn't cool.
But it lifted me up.
It was how I stayed connected to the divine,
To source,
To God,
Whatever you want to call it,
For my day.
And then my goal for the day was to spread that light and that love.
So I would fill myself up and then I would walk through the hallways giving that love,
Giving it away to people by smiling,
Giving compliments.
There was a long phase where I would take my little dog before school,
5.
30 in the morning,
To the track and I would practice throwing discus.
And I did that to be in nature,
To be out when there were no people out because I had moved to the city from the country and I wasn't used to all the people in the cars.
But I also did it because the new school I'd moved to,
The new high school,
Didn't have softball and I played shortstop and pitcher.
And all of a sudden I had no sport.
So I had to learn something new.
So I would practice and practice discus so that I could win when I got to the track meets.
So we're going to pray and visualize that all of your stress is dumped out so that you too can connect to this love,
This divine light and be that light and feel that instead of the stress that everybody's feeling so that you can be different,
You can feel differently.
Believe me,
You want to feel different.
The mass majority of people are not feeling very happy.
They might fake it,
They might look happy,
But once you really get to know them and as an energy healer,
I really get to know them,
They're not happy.
Even the most popular girls in school and the most popular guys may not really be that happy.
I want you to imagine that you've got this black crusty layer all over you,
Either over your body or over your clothes.
I don't care which way you see it.
You know how when mud dries,
It becomes crackly and crusty.
Imagine that is caked to you.
Now I want you to imagine that you just sit up straight.
You can go ahead and join me and do this.
Stretch your arms over your head.
You're going to start stretching until it all breaks and falls off of you like dried mud.
Just kind of move.
Just move your shoulders,
Your left shoulder,
Your right slowly,
Almost like you're in slow motion.
You're going to arch your back,
Round your back.
Move forward like lean forward,
Whatever you need to do to make sure this crust breaks away off of you.
And now that every last piece is falling away,
Imagine that the sun is suddenly shining above your head and that sunlight is God's presence or the universe or source,
Whatever you call it in your family.
And you're going to just put your head back and receive this light.
Open your hands like you're going to receive this light.
Let it fall on you,
Pour over you.
You can even close your hands in front of you like prayer position because what that does is it centers you.
So right now I have my hands in prayer position just to center me there in front of my chest against my chest,
But I'm also swaying and moving almost like a tree in the wind.
We ask,
Now we're going to go into prayer.
We ask the angels to move around us and to bless us,
To fill us with light so that we're different.
So that we're not like everybody else,
So that we feel special,
So that we feel happy inside.
We feel content.
We give thanks that we're different.
We give thanks we're not like everyone else.
We give thanks that we know who we are inside.
We give thanks that we feel unique.
Now I'm kind of hugging myself.
So I have my left hand on my right upper arm,
My right hand's on my left leg,
And I'm just kind of holding myself like I love you,
Like I'm special,
Like I feel good.
Because it's everyone else that tells us maybe we're not as good when we start comparing.
And then our brain starts to believe it.
We were not as good.
But the goal here is you really want to be different.
You don't want to be like everybody else.
You want to feel light within you.
You want to feel surrounded by angels.
You want to go to bed smiling.
We give away all of your stress.
We give it away.
We ask that that crust that fell away from your body that we visualized is just swept up,
Sucked away,
Swept out of your room,
Away from you.
The space around you is completely clear and clean,
That you feel fantastic.
We give thanks for your angels and your guides for cleaning up the mess,
Cleaning up the stress.
We ask them to help you keep it this way.
We ask that they help you to feel light and free like a kid,
Even though you have a lot of adult-like responsibilities on you.
We ask that you feel like standing tall instead of slouched and heavy and burdened.
We lift it all up.
We give it up to God.
Anything bothering you,
Worrying you,
Stressing you,
We give to God.
We ask that you continue to feel stress-free and that you continue to revisit this prayer,
This visualization or make up your own every time you feel stressed so that it doesn't build up in your system again.
We ask your angels and your spirit guides to help you to keep up with it,
Help you to maintain your energy field,
Help you to maintain the lightness of being.
Thanks be to God.
Thanks be to the light.
