This guided meditation is ideal for when you are feeling anxious.
I invite you to make yourself comfortable,
Either sitting or if you prefer lying down.
And allow your eyes to close if that's okay for you.
And start to tune into the breath.
Observe the natural rhythm of the breath.
Observe the inhale and observe the exhale.
And observe how it feels to be within your body right now.
How is your body feeling?
How is your body feeling?
And feel the subtle movements of your body as you breathe,
The rise and fall of your belly.
With each breath in,
Your body feels more relaxed,
Your mind is calmer.
I invite you to take your awareness to the space,
To the space,
To the sacred pause in between the breaths.
As you inhale,
The body is filled with pranam,
Life force energy.
And before there is the exhale,
There is a pause.
I invite you to keep the awareness here.
And then exhale,
Feel the body let it go.
And then there is another sacred pause before the inhale.
And I invite you to keep the awareness on the sacred pause in between breaths.
The sacred pause in between the inhale and the exhale.
The sacred pause in between the exhale and the inhale.
And if your mind wanders,
That's simply okay.
Return your awareness back to the sacred pause,
To the space in between the breaths.
And you can stay here for as long as you need.
And when you are ready,
Gently wiggle the toes and the fingers and allow your eyes to open up.
And then wrap your arms around you and hold yourself for a couple of breaths.
I am safe.
Everything is as it should be.
Namaste.
