Transcript

You are in an emotional emergency now.

Your body is not happy.

It may be tense,

Boiling,

Restless,

Or lifeless.

Notice that.

Your breath is irregular.

Notice that.

Your mind is all over the place,

And your feelings feel out of control.

Notice that.

If you can,

Sit down with your spine and axe straight,

And close your eyes for a couple of minutes.

Now breathe in deeply,

And release it out with a big sigh.

Again breathe in,

And release with a sigh.

At our time,

Take in a lot of air,

Then hold.

Notice the stillness of your body and breath.

And release it all.

Now place both your hands on your belly.

Close your mouth,

And breathe normally through your nose.

As you breathe in,

Allow your belly to gently push your hands forward.

Don't move your chest.

And as you breathe out,

Your belly and your hands slowly recede back.

Breathe in,

Expanding your abdomen,

And breathe out,

Releasing it.

Continue breathing like this through your abdomen.

Let your breathing be deep.

You got in a lot of air,

And you release it all out.

Let your breathing be calm.

You have all the oxygen you may need.

Let your breathing be steady and even.

And this will even out your mind and moods.

Notice where in your body your emotions are living.

It could be a tightness in the chest,

Tension on the shoulders or forehead,

A feeling that your stomach is empty and cold,

A feeling of electricity and heat shooting through your veins.

It could be anything.

Just notice it and keep on with the abdominal breathing.

Feel that you are breathing in and out of that body part.

And with every out-breath,

You release all the tension,

All that energy.

Continue doing this until you feel well again,

Centered and back in control.

If needed,

Make the breathing even longer,

Slower and deeper.

That did exactly what you said it would, thank you 🙏🏻

That helped immensely. I was in a full spiral panic, and now I’m OK.

I feel like this just saved me. I received some shocking and unexpected news. I could feel my body going into a panic attack. I excused myself to a quiet place and in a frenzy, found this meditation. It saved me from a full blown panic attack. Thank you with all my heart.

This really helped to bring me from a heightened state to a place of calm. I will definitely be returning to this meditation regularly.

My physical and emotional body really needs this reminder, especially if I wake up with something that scares me, like pain in my chest. Thank you, your words and calming voice make a difference as I acknowledge what’s happening and shift my focus breath.🙏
