Welcome to your guided meditation.
Take a moment to pause.
A moment just for you.
Whether you are standing or sitting,
Start by noticing your body,
The points of contact,
The way the ground or the seat supports you,
And slowly turn your attention inward.
Feel your breath.
Begin by noticing what feels most prominent right now,
The loudest thing in your inner world.
Maybe it's a big emotion,
A sensation,
A thought pattern,
A heaviness,
A tightness.
Bring a gentle,
Friendly,
Curious attention to whatever that is.
See where you feel it in your body.
Is it in your stomach,
Your chest,
Your jaw,
Your throat?
Wherever it lives.
And rest your awareness there.
Notice the sensations around it.
Tightness,
Warmth,
Pressure,
A flutter,
A knot,
A heaviness.
And no need to change anything.
Just observe.
If it feels safe,
Look a little deeper.
What thoughts circle around this feeling?
What emotions sit underneath?
Maybe worry,
Frustration,
Sadness,
Confusion,
Disappointment.
Simply recognize what is arising and allow it all to unfold without rushing it.
See them as different energies moving through you.
Stay with it for a few breaths,
Just witnessing,
Gently curious.
Now ask yourself,
What does this part of me need right now?
Maybe it needs rest,
Reassurance,
Compassion,
Space.
Maybe simply a slow breath.
And see if you can offer that to yourself.
You might say quietly,
May you feel calmer.
May you feel supported.
May you feel compassion.
May you feel clarity.
May you feel courage.
And notice if anything shifts,
Even slightly.
A softening,
A little space,
A deeper breath.
Or maybe nothing changes,
And that's okay too.
You turned inward,
You listened.
And that is already enough.
