Meditation To Calm Anxiety

Anxiety, that feeling of unease that we all have experienced at some point in our lives, can be triggered for various reasons and very quickly pull us into this uncomfortable tunnel where our mood changes swiftly and it just feels scary, confusing, out of control with worse case scenarios clips playing in our head. One of the ways how we can access your relaxation of the body response is by practicing deep belly breaths with focus on extended exhales.

Transcript

To begin with,

Let's find a comfortable position.

You can lie down or you can sit with your spine straight,

However you feel most comfortable.

Eyes can be open or closed,

And the body at ease.

Relax your face,

Relax your jaw,

And just take a few deep breaths and settle into your body.

You can do a quick scan from the tip of your toes to the top of your head and feel the sensations in your body.

And if anywhere you can feel the tensions,

See if you can relax it with a few deep inhales and exhales in that area.

Now rest your right hand on your heart and your left hand on your belly.

Feel the gentle warm touch of your hands.

And start to observe rising and falling of your breath in your chest and in your belly.

Take a deep breath into your nose and into your belly.

Feel the soft,

Cool,

And smooth stream of air entering your nostrils.

Feel the ribcage and belly expanding and your head rising up.

Exhale through the mouth and feel the warm air leaving your body,

And your chest and belly are shrinking down.

When we breathe in,

We can feel the breath entering the body and calming all the cells in our body.

And when we breathe out,

We feel the exhalation is taking away all of our tiredness,

Irritation,

And anxiety.

Slow deep breaths into our belly and long slow exhales through the mouth.

Try to make your exhales a little bit longer and slower than the inhales.

And continue to breathe in this way for a couple of moments.

Follow your own rhythm,

Your own space and time.

As we breathe in,

We can repeat to ourselves,

I calm my body.

And as we breathe out,

We can repeat,

I smile.
