Welcome dear friend.
This meditation will help you relax your body and focus your mind so you can transform stress and anxiety into a new feeling of mindful awareness.
This is your time to take a break and simply enjoy a quiet moment with yourself,
Far away from all the worries of our busy life.
Let's start by making sure you're comfortable in your body.
Take a deep breath in and out.
Inhale new oxygen and exhale any stress or tension.
Relax your tongue and your jaw.
Relax your shoulders and your belly.
Feel the support of the earth under your feet.
Receive this loving energy from mother earth flowing up into your body through your legs all the way up to the crown of the head.
Feeling and renewing every cell in your body.
Feel this inner light shining inside like a bright star or a diamond.
You are now ready to go deeper in your mindful practice.
I invite you to ask yourself the following questions and remember that questions are keys to open our mind.
Don't worry about getting it right or wrong.
Just let the questions come and awaken you like a soft breath.
Listen carefully.
What is your present experience of stress or anxiety?
How does this feel in your body?
Is it a feeling of tension perhaps in your belly or shoulders?
Could you describe this feeling with a shape or a color?
How big or small is it?
Can you step back and observe it from a new perspective?
How does it feel now as you observe from a distance?
Could it be that you are learning how to be with this feeling instead of fighting or avoiding it?
Could this feeling actually teach you how to be more present and compassionate?
Notice you are not trying to change anything.
You are simply becoming more aware and you can stay connected to this awareness for the rest of your day.
Finally bring your awareness to an intention of gratitude.
It can be a big happy memory or it can be a small detail in the present.
Just take a moment to appreciate how lucky you are.
Enjoy how far you've come and in your own way,
In your own language.
Give thanks for all the blessings you've received and all the blessings that are coming your way.
So open your heart,
Smile and enjoy this great fullness.
Let's finish our practice by taking a gentle breath in and out.
You can either stay here enjoying the positive effects of meditation or whenever you're ready,
You can open your eyes feeling ready to go out there and spread your mindful vibes.
And remember wherever you go,
My heart goes with you.
Inside we are always connected.
Sending lots of love and blessings to you.
