Welcome to Sunday Morning Joy with Jai.

Thank you for joining me on episode number 135.

The flow is going to be as follows.

I'm going to go ahead and do a long,

In-depth meditation today.

And that meditation will include some breath work to begin to help you to find your center.

And then I will go ahead and lead that into the matters of the heart.

And today I have a very profound meditation that'll help you to completely de-stress from the stress and anxiety,

Help you to declutter your mind and get into a state of deep presence and prepare you as you go out to make a beautiful week ahead.

So I ask that you go ahead and downshift your gaze or close your eyes,

Whatever you feel comfortable.

I want to thank you for taking the time today to listen to this guided meditation to help you to reduce your stress and anxiety.

This practice of relaxation is most beneficial when done regularly where the benefits are compounding.

And over time,

You'll find that it'll become easier for you.

While the practice of meditation can take many different forms and look very different from person to person,

Don't expect perfection.

Be patient with your practice.

And the results will speak for themselves.

The idea of being present in this moment is a powerful one when it comes to busting your stress and anxiety.

We're often scheduled to the max and we become physical and emotionally stressed out from everything that we do.

And we find that our mind is cluttered and oftentimes overthinking.

We worry about how the past could have gone differently or we wonder if the future will go exactly as we plan.

So this meditation will help you to calm down that overthinking mind.

It'll help you to become present so that you can simplify your life and clear the clutter in your mind.

It has been said by many great thought leaders in this world that the way you do anything is the way you do everything.

So if you want to declutter your mind,

You must also declutter your physical world.

This meditation can be used to focus on the present moment and let go of worries about the past and the anxieties about the future.

The more you practice this,

The easier it'll become for you and you'll see the benefits trickle into many areas of your life.

Now,

I want you to turn off any distractions that may be around you and commit this time for yourself.

Let go of any to-do lists or other responsibilities,

At least just for this next few minutes,

And take this time for your self-care.

This is a gift for you to enjoy.

Remember,

You must first help yourself and love yourself before you can help or love anyone else.

When you're ready,

I invite you to close your eyes and bring your full awareness to your breath.

Begin to count your breath in,

And then as you breathe out,

Encourage the exhale to be one count longer than the inhale.

Allow each exhale to carry with it any physical or emotional stress and tension.

By exhaling longer than your inhale,

Your breath will naturally slow down your body and you will begin to see that your mind begins to calm down as well.

So I want you to do this breaths for a few cycles.

Now,

Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm and know that your breath is an anchor to the present moment.

You know that you cannot get back a breath from your past,

Nor can you make a future breath come any sooner than the present moment.

So you know you are always in the present moment.

When you're attentive to your breath,

You may still have thoughts going through your mind,

But I want you to notice them from afar as if you are an observer.

Notice your thoughts and acknowledge them and then come back to the breath.

And using the breath as an anchor,

An anchor to keep coming back to whenever your mind wanders.

This breath anchor is a grounding and stress-relieving practice to continue outside this session.

Whenever you may experience a stressful situation at any point in your life,

You can always just come back to your breath as if you are starting over.

This anchor will allow you to relax in times of stress as you focus your attention on your breath.

I want you to approach this meditation with the intention to simplify and to slow down.

Allow your body to soften and your breath to be nice and long.

Know that your body responds to your thoughts.

So if you think about relaxing,

Asking your body to release tension,

It will.

Your mind is so powerful in creating change in all aspects of your life.

And now as you breathe in,

Imagine that your breath has a bright white color to it.

And this light,

This white color fills you up.

And as you breathe out,

That white light is taking with it any physical tension or feelings of anxiety.

Take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in through your nose.

And now move that breath all the way down to your abdomen,

Filling you up with light and making space.

And then allow your body to just surrender as you exhale,

Breathing out anything that no longer serves you.

Each full breath clears out the clutter and relaxes your body and mind even more deeply.

I want you to invite your body to relax,

Relax at every muscle completely,

Beginning with the muscles around the eyes and your face and the jaw.

By relaxing these muscles specifically,

The rest of the body knows exactly what to do and will relax in response.

Unclench the jaw completely and soften the muscles in your face,

Especially around the eyes.

You may begin to feel that familiar heaviness setting in throughout the entire body.

All you have to do is think about relaxing and releasing the tension in your body and your body will respond.

The body listens to what your mind tells it.

Now feel the entire body let go.

Feel that tension in your body has begun to loosen and subside.

Stay with your breath.

If you find your mind wandering,

Stay with the physical sensations of your body so that your mind can continue to clear the clutter of the overthinking mind.

That's overthinking as a tendency.

And know that your subconscious mind will be aware of anything that is important to you.

You are in complete control,

But for now,

Your mind and body know it is time to relax and let go,

Time to slow down.

All responsibilities and items on your to-do list are unimportant right now.

All you need to do is follow the sound of my voice as a guide and allow your body to completely relax.

Your subconscious mind will do the job of clearing the clutter.

Notice how deep and calm your breath has become as you continue to relax deeper and deeper.

You now allow yourself to drift into a deep state of relaxation,

Letting yourself go,

Letting your body,

Mind,

And spirit become one.

Now,

Using your imagination,

I want you to see yourself in front of a beautifully decorated glass elevator door.

This glass door is etched and frosted with the most amazing design on it.

See this design in your mind's eye.

Now reach out and feel the texture on your fingertips.

Feel the cool temperature of the glass.

This elevator will take you down to the deepest part of your subconscious mind so that you can declutter your thoughts and release any tension and negativity.

You see the door of this elevator opening slowly,

And as you step into the spacious elevator,

You know that you are completely safe and you can see through the glass walls of the elevator.

You push the B button so that you can go down to the basement of your mind.

This elevator will lead you deep into relaxation and each level will take you deeper down.

And in a moment,

As I begin to count,

The elevator will take you down slowly into a more deeper state of relaxation.

And you will find that the deeper down you go,

The more comfortable and more relaxed you become.

10,

As the elevator begins at a slow descent,

You are feeling relaxed.

You can feel the stress melting away.

Nine,

You feel yourself completely letting go of any responsibilities or things you may need to do.

Eight,

You know that you are right where you need to be on your journey,

And you allow the outside world to just turn off.

Seven,

Each level down takes you even deeper into a relaxed state.

Six,

You're committed to taking your life and dreams to the next level.

Five,

Letting go completely.

Four,

Going deeper and deeper into comfort.

Three,

Almost to the basement of your subconscious mind.

Two,

Deep,

Deep relaxation.

One,

All the way into a deep state of relaxation and peace.

Now you've reached the bottom.

The elevator door slowly opens and you walk out into the basement of your subconscious mind.

You take a look around and see that you have stepped into what looks like a library,

A library that stores all of your memories as well as the possibilities for your future.

There are rows and rows of shelves throughout the entire room,

And each shelf is filled with many books.

And you see books of all different sizes and colors.

Some of these books are disorganized and there are areas of clutter around the floor in front of some of the shelves.

You may feel an intense desire to organize the books so that they're easily accessed when needed and to clean up the clutter around the room.

And knowing that by doing this,

You will organize and declutter your mind and your life.

You realize just by thinking about organizing and cleaning magically,

This room changes.

The room becomes more organized and the clutter is cleared.

This change has simplified your life.

And with this change,

You feel a positive change within yourself.

You know that deep inside,

You have a switch that has been reset so that everything works in your favor and you are now organized and decluttered in all areas of your life.

You're also decluttered in your thinking mind and you're able to now generate support and inspiration for yourself far more easily than before.

You enrich yourself mentally,

Emotionally,

And spiritually to do all that it takes to actualize your goals,

To thrive and live in alignment with your values and intentions.

You begin to take even better care of yourself.

You redefine yourself as a happier,

Energetic,

And more lighthearted person.

You feel the physical weight of anxiety has been lifted,

Allowing you to be lighter and calmer.

You allow new and more empowered thoughts and inspired feelings of success,

Healing,

Wellness,

And happiness to profoundly build within you.

You respect yourself,

Showing yourself loving kindness and compassion,

And you let go of any negative thoughts that no longer serve you.

You let go of any past negativities and replace them with positive behavior,

Positive thoughts,

And feelings of gratitude.

You are aware of your thoughts and you have the ability to change from a negative thought to a positive one just by being aware.

You believe that you could be strong and confident in your life.

You see your past limiting beliefs and behaviors disappear.

Self-doubt,

Fear,

And anxiety are things of the past and you replace them with optimism,

Confidence,

And an easy,

Calm disposition.

You trust your instincts and your abilities.

You are easily able to accept things as they are and knowing that you are exactly where you are supposed to be on your journey.

Now,

Bring your attention to the room around you.

Take one last look around at the organized and decluttered space of your subconscious mind.

Note that this new organized space will translate to a stress-free,

Anxiety-free living in all aspects of your life.

Now,

As you begin to walk back towards the elevator,

The doors open slowly and invite you in as you step into the elevator,

You have a strong sense that you can continue to reduce stress and anxiety in your life by continuing the process of simplifying and clearing the clutter.

You are capable of achieving your dreams.

You have the potential to accomplish great things.

Now,

Bring your attention back to your physical body and your breath.

You will easily and effortlessly be able to use the breath as an anchor when you come out of the state of relaxation.

And now,

As an observer,

See yourself smiling with a positive mind,

Calm and competent,

Feeling proud and grateful.

When you awake,

You will still feel all the positive feelings you experienced in this meditation and you have patience and persistence for the practice of simplifying and decluttering your mind.

The mind affects your physical world.

In just a moment,

I will count as the elevator slowly brings you back up.

And when you get to the top,

You will begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment,

Feeling relaxed,

Yet energized and confident.

One,

You are slowly beginning to come into the state of awareness of the comfort.

Two,

Bring your awareness to the present moment to the sounds around you,

Around the physical body.

Three,

You are feeling totally relaxed and calm and your mind is clear.

Four,

You feel confident.

Five,

Your thoughts are positive.

Six,

You begin to bring some gentle movement to your body.

Seven,

You are feeling wonderful,

Emotionally calm and at peace.

Eight,

You feel the strength of confidence and you believe in yourself,

Ready to open your eyes,

Ready to move forward with your day.

Nine,

Open your eyes.

You are fully awake and energized.

10,

Notice how amazing you feel.

Now,

As you step out the elevator,

Back into your awake,

Relaxed,

Energized,

Confident,

New you in this new body with a new mindset,

Making a new beginning,

Ask yourself,

How do I summarize how I'm feeling right now in one word?

Thank you for joining me in this practice.

Have a blessed day.
