Welcome everyone.

This is a meditation for moments when we feel overwhelmed by strong emotions like anger,

Frustration,

Anxiety,

Stress and so on.

Let's begin.

You can sit,

Stand or lie down for this practice.

Whatever feels the most comfortable for you and your body at this moment.

Allow your body to settle into stillness.

Bring your awareness to your breath.

Just noticing your breathing gently moving in and out of your body for a few moments.

Now softly turn your attention inward.

Notice any strong emotions that may be present for you at this moment.

Without judgment gently name it anger,

Anxiety,

Frustration,

Overwhelm or anything else.

Let it be here just as it is.

Then make some space for it and be kind to yourself in its presence.

Now follow along with the breath.

Breathing in,

I know that anger is here.

Breathing out,

I know that this anger is not me.

Breathing in,

I feel the discomfort.

Breathing out,

I know this feeling will pass.

Breathing in,

I am calm.

Breathing out,

I am strong enough to take care of this feeling.

Breathing in,

I feel my body.

Breathing out,

I soften and let go.

Breathing in,

I feel my feet on the floor.

Breathing out,

I come back to the present moment.

Now allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.

Notice your breathing in your body.

Notice the falling and rising of your breath to your belly or your chest as you are breathing in and breathing out.

Take a moment to notice how your body feels at this moment.

Notice any shift in your mind or emotions.

You are here.

You are safe.

You are whole.

Let yourself rest in this calm awareness for a few moments and breathe naturally.

Whenever you are ready,

You can slowly open your eyes,

Look around the room and finish this practice.

Thank you.
