Take a moment to settle into a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing,
Without trying to change it.
Simply observe the rise and fall of your chest,
And the gentle expansion and contraction of your abdomen,
With each inhale and each exhale.
As you breathe,
Start to notice the sensations in your body.
Feel the cool air as you inhale,
And the warm air as you exhale.
Scan your body from head to toe,
Noticing any areas of tension or discomfort.
With each exhale,
Imagine releasing that tension,
Allowing your body to become more and more relaxed.
Imagine roots growing from your feet,
Grounding you to the earth.
Feel the stability and the support of the ground beneath you.
Allow yourself to feel safe and anchored.
In this present moment.
Now bring your attention to your thoughts.
Imagine you are sitting by a river,
Watching leaves float by on the water's surface.
Each leaf represents a thought.
Observe each thought without judgment or attachment,
Simply noticing their presence and allowing them to drift away.
If you find yourself getting caught up in a thought,
Gently bring your focus back to your breath,
And notice what you feel in your body.
Each time you do this,
You strengthen your ability to detach from the constant stream of thinking and unwanted thoughts.
Begin to lengthen your breath.
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Hold for a few seconds.
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Hold for a moment.
And then exhale slowly through your mouth.
With each breath,
Invite a sense of calm and tranquility into your mind and your body.
As you continue to breathe deeply and evenly,
Silently repeat these affirmations to yourself.
I am peaceful and calm.
I embrace the present moment.
I embrace the present moment.
I trust the flow of life.
I am centered and grounded.
I radiate positive energy.
I release all tension.
I welcome clarity and peace.
I am unattached to my thoughts.
I am anchored to the present moment.
I am anchored to the present moment.
I am surrounded by calmness.
I am at ease with myself and the world around me.
Feel these affirmations resonate within you,
Bringing a deeper sense of peace and clarity.
Imagine a warm golden light surrounding you.
This light represents peace,
Clarity,
And calmness.
See it surrounding your entire body,
From your head to your toes.
Allow this light to soothe any remaining tension or worry,
Leaving you feeling completely relaxed and completely at ease.
When you're ready,
Start to bring your awareness back to your surroundings.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Stretch if you need to.
And gently open your eyes when you're ready.
Take a moment to notice how you feel now,
Feeling more calm,
More centered,
And detached from thoughts.
Thank you for joining me in this guided meditation.
Remember,
You can return to this state of calm and clarity anytime you need to by focusing on your breath and allowing your thoughts to flow like leaves on a river and just observing them from afar.
May you have a peaceful day.
