Welcome to this SOS meditation for breakups.

This meditation will help you find your centre,

Stay grounded and allow the storm to pass.

First,

Take a moment to settle into your space.

Notice how your body feels in this moment.

Become aware of your breath,

There's no need to force or change it,

Just observe the natural rhythm of your breathing.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling your body expand,

And as you exhale,

Let your shoulders soften.

Take another deep breath in and sit a little taller,

Gently pulling your shoulders back and opening your heart space.

Let's start with a simple breathing exercise to help you calm the mind and relax the body.

Breathe in and out for a count of four.

Inhale,

Return to your normal breath and notice your body feeling more relaxed now.

Even though breakups may feel overwhelming,

Remember that emotions,

No matter how intense,

Come and go.

Like the tides,

They ebb and flow.

Whatever you're feeling right now will not last forever.

With every breath,

You're moving through it.

You're moving through it.

Take it one moment at a time.

One day,

One hour,

One minute.

You've handled everything that life has brought you so far.

You'll get through this too.

Now,

Let's integrate some affirmations into our breathing.

On each inhale,

Silently say to yourself,

I am.

And with each exhale,

Repeat one of these words in your head.

Safe,

Healing,

Enough.

Let's begin.

Inhale,

I am.

Exhale,

Safe.

Inhale,

I am.

Exhale,

Healing.

Healing.

Inhale,

I am.

Exhale,

Enough.

I am safe.

I am healing.

I am enough.

I am safe.

I am healing.

I am enough.

I am enough.

Well done.

With every breath,

You created space for healing and peace.

Know that you can return to this practice anytime you need a reminder of your inner strength.

Take a final deep breath in.

Slowly exhale.

And when you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Take good care of yourself.

You deserve it.
