Hello,
And welcome.
It is so wonderful you are here.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Sitting up or lying down.
Now close your eyes gently,
And take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling up your lungs completely,
And now exhale through your mouth.
Another deep breath in through your nose,
And sigh it out through your mouth.
One more deep breath just like that together.
On your biggest audible exhale yet,
Now begin to breathe normally.
Starting at the top of your head,
We will gently scan down throughout to smooth out and dissolve any creases or knots of anxiety that may be present.
Feel a lifting of your scalp.
Your ears are relaxing back and down.
Allow your jaw to melt softly towards your chest.
Let your shoulders drift away from your ears and down.
Your arms are resting comfortably at your sides.
They are heavy,
Soft,
And supported.
Soften your hands and fingers,
Releasing any tension into the air.
Notice how the surface below you is supporting you,
Allowing your back,
Hips,
And legs to completely relax.
Now bring your focus to your ankles and feet.
They are relaxing with oxygenated peace flowing through them and out through the ends of your toes.
Continuing to breathe normally.
Imagine with each inhale,
Calm and peace is entering your body as a white vapor.
With each exhale,
Visualize anxiety or stress leaving your body.
As you exist here and as you breathe in this relaxed state,
Acknowledge any thoughts that come into your mind.
Rather than pushing them away,
Simply notice them.
Imagine them as clouds passing through the sky,
Brief and transient.
Allow yourself to observe them without judgment.
With each breath,
You are inhaling peace and tranquility and calm.
With each exhale,
Stress,
Resistance,
Anxiety is leaving your body.
Simply place one hand over your heart and the other on your stomach.
Feel the gentle rise and fall,
The cleansing of the breath,
The entering of peace and the exhaling of any anxiety.
The kindness and compassion you are creating for yourself is right here.
We will affirm this with affirmations.
You can absorb them by listening or repeat them softly to yourself.
I am here for myself.
It's okay to feel how I am feeling.
I am safe and secure.
I am worthy of peace and calm.
I am strong and resilient.
I trust in my ability to handle whatever comes my way.
I release all fears and embrace peace.
I am grateful for this present moment.
I am here for myself.
It's okay to feel how I am feeling.
I am safe and secure.
I am worthy of peace and calm.
I am strong and resilient.
I trust in my ability to handle whatever comes my way.
I release all fears and embrace peace.
I am grateful for this present moment.
You are now going to feel the truth of these words resonating within you with three deep breaths.
Deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and an even longer exhale.
Take in your longest,
Deepest inhale yet and your most luxurious exhale.
Begin to breathe normally again.
As you are breathing and simply existing,
You are embracing this moment of self-kindness.
You deserve this compassion.
You deserve this peace.
You are worthy.
You are loved.
When you're ready,
Begin to gently trace your fingertips with your thumbs.
Bring energy to and wiggle your toes.
And slowly open your eyes.
Take in this moment.
Notice how your body feels and enjoy how your mind has shifted.
Remember,
You can return to this state of calm and compassion anytime you need.
Thank you for joining us.
