Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
I'm Lai.
This morning meditation is here to help release stress,
Soften anxious thoughts,
And begin your day feeling a little lighter,
Calmer,
And more steady within yourself.
You do not have to force yourself to feel calm.
You don't have to push anything away.
We're simply going to breathe.
Soften the body and create a little more space inside.
So I invite you to take a moment now to get comfortable.
Let your hands rest.
Soften the shoulders.
And gently close your eyes or lower your gaze in front of you.
Take a slow breath in.
And gently breathe out.
In your own time,
Take another breath in.
Breathing out.
And this time,
Take another deeper breath in.
And as you exhale,
Just exhale a little longer than the inhale.
Just letting your body soften.
Now begin to notice where stress may be sitting in your body this morning.
Maybe it's in your chest.
Your stomach.
Maybe it's in your jaw.
In your head.
Or maybe it's more like a restless feeling inside.
There's no need to judge it,
Just notice where it's showing you,
Where it is.
Now I invite you to breathe into the place.
Where you feel it most.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine that area just softening.
Even just a little.
We're not changing it right now,
We're just softening with the breath.
To breathing into that space.
Letting the breath move through it.
Softening.
With the breath.
Breathing in,
Making space.
Breathing out.
Just letting go.
Of any weight.
Anything that you carry,
Just let it go out.
With the breath.
You are not your stress.
You are not.
Your anxious thoughts.
You're the one noticing them.
And as you notice.
.
.
You can begin to create space around them.
Use the breath.
Breathing in space.
Letting go as you breathe out.
And imagine that with every exhale,
Your body releases what it no longer needs to carry into this day.
Any tension.
Any pressure.
Any worry that has been taking up too much space and energy.
Let it soften.
Let it loosen.
And let it move through.
And you might like to bring one hand to your heart,
On your chest,
On your stomach,
Wherever it feels comfortable.
And take a slow breath in into the space.
And let this moment of kindness towards yourself.
Be here.
You've carried enough.
And you are allowed to begin this day gently.
Show yourself this kindness and compassion right now.
And you may like to repeat.
I am safe in this moment.
I allow my body to soften.
I release what I do not need to carry today.
And is there anything else that you need to know in this moment?
Just let it come through.
Take another slow breath in.
Gently breathe out.
To face soften.
Soul is strong.
Your belly release.
Now imagine yourself moving through the day ahead.
With a little more calm in your body.
Not because everything is perfect,
But because you are more connected to yourself.
You are allowed to pause.
To breathe.
And to come back to the steady place within you.
It's always here.
And you may like to repeat.
I am calm.
I am steady.
I choose to move through this day with ease.
Take one final slow breath in.
And release it fully and begin to feel the ground beneath you.
And just notice the space around you.
The morning is waiting for you.
And when you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes or adjust your gaze.
And carry this calm with you.
One breath.
One moment,
One step at a time.
Have a beautiful day.
