Transcript

Welcome to this quick guided meditation designed to help you release feelings of overwhelm.

In just 5 minutes you will find yourself grounded,

Centred and more at ease.

Find a comfortable seated position,

Relax your body and prepare to let go of this weight of overwhelm.

We've got this.

Let's begin.

Firstly,

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Allowing your belly to rise.

Hold it for a brief moment and then exhale slowly through your mouth,

Allowing your abdomen to gently fall.

Repeat this deep breathing pattern several times,

Focusing on the sensation of the breath entering and leaving your body.

Allow the relaxing music to help you find a sense of calm.

That's fantastic.

Now let's just return to a normal breathing pattern and let's close our eyes and imagine a peaceful,

Serene garden.

In this garden,

There is a beautiful pond with clear,

Calm water.

Visualise yourself standing by the pond,

And imagine that the water represents your overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

As you take a step closer to the pond,

Imagine gently placing your hand in the water.

Feel the coolness and soothing energy as you release all your overwhelming thoughts and emotions into the pond.

Watch as the ripples spread,

Carrying away your feelings of burden and pressure.

You don't need to be so hard on yourself.

Life is tough enough as it is,

Let alone when we're beating ourselves up all the time.

In order to feel less overwhelmed,

We need to give ourselves permission to feel less overwhelmed.

So as you're watching the ripples spread,

Carrying away these feelings of burden and pressure,

I'd also like you to say out loud,

I give myself permission to let go of this pressure and feel good.

I give myself permission to let go of this pressure and feel good.

One more time,

I give myself permission to let go of this pressure and feel good.

Those ripples are still carrying away your feelings of burden and pressure.

You can feel a weight being lifted off your shoulders in this moment.

You are fantastic.

You are amazing.

Just think of how far you have come.

Look at the room around you right now and recognize everything that you have done in your life,

All your achievements.

You are an amazing person and you deserve to feel okay.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed,

Just go back to the mantra,

I give myself permission to let go and feel good because you deserve it.

Well done for today.
