Transcript

Welcome to this guided meditation for overwhelmed minds.

Let's get right to it.

Take a moment to sit down or lie down in a comfortable position.

And just take a deep breath in through your nose,

Letting any tension you feel in your body rise up.

And as you exhale,

Let it go.

Inhale deeply through your nose and out through your mouth.

Take a moment to notice the cadence of your breath,

Noticing the in-breath filling up your stomach,

Your ribcage,

Your chest.

And then notice the air coming out through your nose slowly and mindfully.

Breathe in and out at your own pace.

And as you breathe,

Just bring your attention to your thoughts and your feelings,

Giving yourself a few moments to acknowledge the overwhelm,

To tune in to how that affects your breath,

Your energy,

The thoughts that you're having.

Breathe in deeply and breathe out completely.

On your inhalation,

Notice where do you feel the most tension right now.

Perhaps it is physical tension.

Perhaps it is mental tension.

On the exhalation,

Observe any space that you have to release and soften.

Now keeping your attention on your breath,

See if you can start to draw your focus inward toward the center of your being,

Toward the steadiness of your core,

Of your essence,

Of that part of you that can let go when you need to let go,

Can come back to being grounded and calm and peaceful.

So take a deep breath in.

And as you exhale,

Let go.

Inhale.

Exhale to let go.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Let go.

Let go.

Feel the weight of the stress and the worries lifting off your shoulders,

Releasing away,

Allowing the burden of overwhelm melt away,

Even if it's just for this moment,

Even if it's just for right now.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Let go.

Give yourself permission to stay here for as long as you would like.

But if it's time for you to move on with your day,

Take a final deep breath in,

Sigh it out.

And as you start to open your eyes,

Take a moment to stretch and perhaps notice yourself lighter,

More relaxed,

More present,

Giving yourself a moment of gratitude to remember that you can become aware of how you feel.

You can remember to let go of heavy emotions whenever you're ready.

You can remember to be present and peaceful.

Thank you for taking this time to meditate with me.

I'll see you next time.

Be well.
