Welcome to this Breathing Meditation to help us with our anxious thoughts.
Let's sit comfortably.
Close your eyes.
Relax your jaw.
Relax your shoulders.
Try to release any tension you may feel in your body.
Begin to focus on your breath.
Your breath as it is naturally.
Paying attention to how your lungs expand and contract with each inhale and exhale.
Allow your breath to be natural and to flow however it wants to.
As you inhale,
Imagine you are breathing in new life.
And as you exhale,
Imagine letting all fear completely fade away.
Take another breath in.
And as you exhale,
Feel yourself let go of any worries.
Allow yourself to feel relaxed.
Let another breath come in naturally,
Imagining a bright future.
And as you let it go,
Notice how depression and anxiety ease and fade.
A gentle wave of relaxation sweeps over you as you breathe in and out.
Allow your breath to flow naturally.
Let yourself feel calm and peaceful.
You deserve this wonderful feeling of serenity.
You are open now to receive new thoughts.
You open up even more with each breath you take to new and fresh energy.
Notice how new ideas begin to present themselves to you.
Bring up feelings of abundance as if you have so much that your cup pours over for others to enjoy the abundance you have created.
Imagine that you are energized and have a zeal for life,
Even if that is not true in your present self.
Imagine it vividly,
And with as much detail as you can,
See yourself full of energy and optimism.
You can imagine it as if you were watching a movie of yourself.
See the colors brightly,
Watch yourself full of ambition,
Taking steps towards achievement.
Stay with your breath and allow your intentions to remain positive.
Even if you don't feel positive in this moment,
You can imagine what joyful is like.
Breathe into this joy you are creating.
Notice how you are consciously shifting any anxious thoughts into peaceful feelings instead by following your breath.
Inhale deeply into the nose.
And as you exhale,
Completely relax.
Any thoughts that previously held you back become smaller and smaller.
Watch negative thoughts diminish little by little,
As if you are riding away in a car and these negative thoughts are sitting along the roadside,
Shrinking into the distance as you ride away with ease.
As you see them go,
You are freed from their grip.
If you have any more negative thoughts,
Drop them off on the side of the road by any creative means that arises.
And ride away,
Watching them grow smaller until they are consumed by the horizon.
Allow yourself a few moments to simply be.
Notice and feel changes from this moment right now and the difference between how you felt before you began this meditation.
Your new thoughts find a new home within your inner being.
Return your focus to your breath for a few moments.
In your own time,
Whenever you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Good.
Commend yourself for making these steps towards a better life.
Accept this wonderful change to your new life.
Take as much time as you would like to sit in gratitude.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
