During this meditation,
You'll be given the opportunity to calm and soothe that scared part of you.
The part of you that's feeling overwhelmed with anxiety right now.
So to begin,
Just take a really deep,
Deep breath all the way down into your belly,
Expanding your chest,
Expanding your belly.
And as you breathe out,
Just breathe out any tension.
And let yourself be present right here and right now.
Every deep breath in relaxes you even deeper and deeper.
And every deep breath out releases tension,
Anxiety,
And doubt.
As you breathe in,
You find yourself becoming more centered and peaceful.
Continue breathing deeply all the way down into your belly.
And notice how you feel your breath begin to smooth and slow and deepen.
And to help you continue to relax,
Just imagine,
Visualize,
Or sense that there is this young child within you,
This small part of you that is feeling this anxiety.
As you get in touch with that younger part of yourself,
That child,
I want you to imagine that you can soothe them by giving them exactly what they need.
So to begin,
Perhaps imagine this child in your head or even sense them inside you,
The one that's feeling doubt and insecure,
The one that feels very uncertain right now or vulnerable.
I want you to begin by just telling that part of yourself it's okay that you're feeling anxious and vulnerable or uncertain.
It's okay.
And next,
I want you to let them know I'm here for you.
Tell that part of yourself or convey it in a way that helps them.
I'm here for you.
I'm here with you.
You're safe now.
And just breathe and repeat any words that feel particularly soothing to this frightened part of yourself,
That feels like they have to do this all alone.
Say something like this.
I'm here with you.
You don't have to do this alone.
We'll figure this out together.
And now take a few moments to convey your own positive and helpful messages to that scared part of yourself,
The part of you that's feeling anxiety.
What words do they most need to hear from you?
Go ahead and give yourself those words of comfort now.
And when you are ready,
Slowly and gently move your body around and come back into the room,
Bringing with you the peace and comfort and relief that you found in this special place.
Another deep breath,
And you open your eyes fully back in the room,
Aware and awake and ready to move on with your day.
