This meditation is aimed at supporting you if you've recently lost your job or have been made redundant.
There are many emotions that sit around this situation.
Meditation can help calm your mind,
Help you listen to your body and release emotions,
Strengthen your parasympathetic nervous system and release stress and tension,
Anxiety and worry.
It can help your body,
Mind and spirit come to terms with actions outside of your control.
All you need to do is try your best to relax and listen to my voice.
If you twitch and your mind wanders,
That's okay.
Just continue to bring your attention back to my voice.
Let's begin by getting comfortable,
Either sitting or laying down.
If you are comfortable to,
Close down your eyes.
If you prefer to keep your eyes open,
Lower your gaze and slowly settle yourself.
Move your attention to your breathing and take a deep breath in,
Slowly through your nose,
Filling your chest,
Stomach and diaphragm and then slowly releasing your breath out of your mouth.
Repeat this two more times then return to the natural rhythm of your breath.
Set the intention as you breathe throughout this meditation that you are breathing in healing energy and breathing out what no longer serves you.
You have nowhere else to be,
Nothing else to do.
Allow yourself to be present here in this moment.
When your mind wanders,
Just acknowledge the thought,
Release it with love and acceptance and return to my voice.
Focus your attention on your whole body.
Feel the connection between your body and the floor,
The cushion or the chair.
Notice any sensations anywhere in your body,
Any tightness,
Any twitch,
Any soreness or part of your body wanting some tension.
Focus your awareness on this body part and we are going to breathe into it and release any tension.
If you don't notice any specific part that's okay,
Just focus on your whole body and breathe in to your whole body.
Breathing in a long slow breath,
Imagining you are filling that part of your body up with love and healing energy and slowly breathing out any tightness or stress and imagine it flowing out as you exhale.
Repeat this a few more times.
Move your awareness to your solar plexus,
The stomach area between your rib cage and belly button.
This is where many emotions like stress,
Anxiety and insecurity can be stored.
By focusing on this area,
We can relieve stress and cultivate a sense of inner strength and peace.
If you would like to,
Place your hands over this part of your body.
Feel free to move them back to their original position any time throughout this meditation.
We are going to do slow breaths in and out.
Imagine you are breathing yellow healing light into your solar plexus.
As you breathe in,
Say to yourself in your mind,
I am safe and secure.
And as you breathe out,
Say to yourself in your mind,
I release all fear and doubt.
Continue repeating as you breathe,
I am safe and secure.
I release all fear and doubt.
I am safe and secure.
I release all fear and doubt.
Now return to breathing in the yellow healing light.
As you breathe in,
Say to yourself,
I honour and trust myself.
And as you breathe out,
Say to yourself,
I release all anger and frustration.
I honour and trust myself.
I release all anger and frustration.
Now return to breathing in the yellow healing light.
As you breathe in,
Say to yourself,
I choose to stand in my power.
And as you breathe out,
Say to yourself,
I release the need to control.
I choose to stand in my power.
I release the need to control.
Now return to breathing in the yellow healing light.
Check in with your body again.
Is there another thought or emotion that needs to be addressed or released today?
If there is,
Acknowledge it.
Don't judge,
Solve or analyse it.
Just notice it,
Thank it and release it with love and acceptance.
Breathe in positive yellow healing light and breathe out what no longer serves you.
Move your attention to your whole body and feel the connection between your body and the floor,
Cushion or chair.
Notice the energy flowing through your body,
The feeling of relaxation and calmness.
Slowly bring your awareness back now to where you are.
Slowly wriggle your fingers,
Your toes and start to make slow and gentle movements.
Take a deep breath in and out.
Slowly,
When you are ready,
Open your eyes and gently stretch and move.
As you bring your awareness back to this room.
Thank yourself for taking this time to honour your body.
Thank you for sharing this time with me.
