Hello and welcome to this healing meditation for anxiety relief.
I'll invite you to get into a comfortable and relaxed position and just let go of all your daily stresses.
Allow yourself to just be here and now letting your body just be.
You don't have to do anything because our bodies naturally want to be calm and relaxed.
Sometimes thinking too much or being tense or being anxious doesn't allow for us to relax.
So naturally we must let go of any need to control the present moment and future outcomes.
If we feel anxious because we tend to over analyze what we think will happen today,
Tomorrow or next week.
We do this out of a habit because in the past situations and outcomes that didn't happen the way we expected and we tend to feel that we need to be in control and be worried.
In order to change this habit we must change our self-image and create new beliefs.
That is what this meditation will teach you but first we need to get into a relaxed state going within calming our mind with some breathing.
I will count down from five and with each number I say I want you to fully inhale with your belly out and exhale tightening your belly.
And with each breath you will feel more and more relaxed taking you into a deep state of peace.
So five,
Taking a full deep breath in and as you exhale feel the tension loosen a little.
Four,
Taking a nice deep breath in and as you exhale feeling even more relaxed and releasing that tension.
Three,
Full breath in and out.
Your mind is becoming calm and clear.
Two,
Inhale deeply and when you exhale observe how the need to control subsides as you become extremely relaxed.
One,
As you take your last deep breath in and out slowly you feel any tension is gone and you are completely at peace and tranquility.
And just repeating these affirmations to yourself I've survived this before I'll survive now.
I'm strong and I persevere through anything.
I know that I'm not my anxiety.
I can take things one step at a time.
I live only in this moment.
I approach this situation with openness and curiosity.
I'm in charge of my breathing and I can slow it down when I need to.
I enjoy my feelings of inner calm.
I am loved.
I am unique.
I can do this.
I acknowledge when it is difficult and I know I will rise above it.
And so now I will count down from five in which with each number I say you will gain more and more awareness of the present moment.
And as you do you bring with it all that you gained today.
You take action with a new mindset ready to tackle any challenges without getting anxious or worried.
Five coming back slowly.
Four feel how your body is laying or sitting.
Three you're becoming more alert.
Two you're aware of your surroundings a bit more now.
One you're feeling fully awake and refreshed.
And so just take this moment to bring some movement back to your body either wiggling the fingers or the toes.
Moving the head from side to side.
And then I want to take this moment to allow each of you to know that I am grateful to be able to share this meditation with you today and to let you know that you are imperfectly perfect just as you are in this moment.
We'll end our meditation today with a namaste.
Namaste.
