Transcript

Good morning.

This meditation is for those times when you wake up feeling anxious and need to settle the mind down.

When we sleep,

We're in a different state of consciousness than when we're awake.

We're either in a dream state or a state of deep sleep and the frequency of our brains is very slow,

Allowing us to release stress and heal.

So when we wake up,

We come back into a different reality or state of consciousness that we haven't been in for several hours because we've been asleep.

So the mind can start to race as if it's trying to make up for lost time while it was in rest mode.

And this can cause feelings of intense anxiety and overwhelm.

So right now,

Instead of getting lost in thoughts and allowing the mind to race,

Take a moment to mindfully notice just how active your mind is right now and say to yourself,

I'm having many thoughts right now.

Or my mind is very busy.

Now bring your awareness to your breathing.

Breathing in and out of the nose to start.

Close your eyes.

Or if you prefer to keep them open,

That's okay.

Notice how the breath feels a little cooler as you inhale.

And notice how it feels a bit warmer as you exhale.

Deep breath as you inhale.

And smooth breath out as you exhale.

Slowing down the beginning of your inhale.

And slowing down the beginning of your exhale.

Notice the belly rise and expand as you inhale and fall and deflates as you exhale.

Notice the parts of the body that are in contact with your bed or the surface underneath you.

Notice any sensations happening in the body.

Notice the sounds happening around you.

Now let's take a few intentional breaths together.

On your next inhale,

Inhale for a count of 4-3-2-1.

Exhale 4-3-2-1.

Inhale 4-3-2-1.

Exhale 4-3-2-1.

And continue like that on your own now.

Counting and breathing.

If you notice the mind starting to wander,

Gently bring your attention back to your breathing.

Now on your next inhale,

I want you to take a deep,

Deep breath.

Inhaling,

Filling the lungs,

Chest and belly.

And then you'll hold the breath when you're full just for a moment.

And then open the mouth and exhale with a sigh.

And let the breath be easy now.

And as we come to the end of this meditation,

It's now time for you to get up and start your day.

I want you to say to yourself,

Today is going to be a great day.

No matter what happens today,

I can choose to have a great day.

If I feel anxious at any point,

I will take a deep,

Deep breath.

And remember that I have everything I need.

And on the count of three,

I want you to open your big,

Beautiful eyes and get out of bed and start your day.

1-2-3.

Have a beautiful day.

You got this.

Great help thank you

Very uplifting 🙏🏼

Thank you for allowing me to release my anxiety this morning. Or maybe it was me eventually allowing I think. Thank you.

I really appreciated the countdown at the end yo get up and get going with my day. I often avoid morning meditations because sometimes they skip this step and they make it hard for me to get up and moving when I need to be.

Good length for a work morning.

Thank you
