Eliminate Stress Meditation Eliminate stress meditation.
Start by finding a comfortable position.
Breathe naturally.
Feel each breath as it enters and exits the nostrils.
Feel your participation in the present moment.
Imagine a woven basket lying at your feet.
Into that basket gently place all your fears,
Worries and stress.
Just leave them all there and mentally cover the basket with a soft blanket.
With stress now put aside.
Breathe naturally for several minutes.
Now mentally reach into the basket and pull out a stressor that you lovingly place in there.
Look at it.
Analyze it mindfully.
Lean into it.
Can you do something about what is stressing you?
If so,
There is no need to stress because an action can be taken to remedy the situation.
If there is nothing you can do,
Find to fix the particular situation,
Then why stress over something over which you have no control?
Stress is part of living sansara.
See those things that cause you stress and discomfort and slowly transform your relationship to them.
Welcome them with an open heart and not a closed fist.
These stresses are opportunities for growth,
For change and for guiding you on the path.
These stresses are clear indication of what karma you need to work on and work out.
Knowledge is power.
One by one pull out every stressor from your basket and go through the same process.
At the end of your meditation your basket is empty.
You feel lighter,
More relaxed and more aware.
You can access this feeling anytime during the day by stopping what you are doing,
Breathing deeply and giving thanks for the opportunity for transformation and change.
May peace be with you.
May you be well.
May you be happy.
May you be peaceful.
