Welcome to my guided meditation on how to let go of overwhelm and stress in your life.

I want you first to put yourself into a comfortable position and gently let your eyes close and as you listen to the music and my voice I want you to become more and more relaxed.

Allow your breath to flow through you with ease and relaxation.

Every time you breathe in you're relaxing your body into a further state of calm and peace and pure relaxation and allow that breath to gently circulate through your entire body relaxing everything that it touches and in this calming,

Peaceful,

Beautiful place that you're in right now I want you to imagine yourself on a beautiful cloud.

A cloud where there's no worries,

There's no stress.

This cloud is your safety.

It is your divine pillow and bed.

On this cloud you are surrounded by a beautiful blue sky and in the distance you see a beautiful sunset.

This is the most peaceful place you can imagine.

As you allow your body to become even more relaxed,

Imagine sinking into that cloud as if you are becoming one with this beautiful,

Soft,

Calming,

Peaceful presence that holds you,

That loves you,

And helps keep you safe.

As you lay here in this peaceful,

Divine light I want you to recognize the stress that you're holding in your body.

Allow the thoughts of overwhelm and stress that have been coming to you,

That have been plaguing you for so long and let them come up into your consciousness.

But in this peaceful,

Calming state of mind I want you to take those thoughts and put them in an imaginary basket that sits in front of you and allow each thought,

Each worry,

Each memory that causes you stress and overwhelm.

I want you to take a few moments and put all of those thoughts into this basket.

And this basket will take that thought.

It will keep it away from your consciousness because you are giving it away to the basket.

So begin now to place all of those thoughts and worries into this basket.

I strongly advise you to do all that you can because it means you are really there.

All the thoughts that go with that breakfast will Her Nial a given tediousness,

Which will keep you safe and you you you Now I want you to pay attention to how your body feels search around within your body for any part that feels tight or tense perhaps you're feeling some anxiety in your chest,

Maybe your stomach hurts wherever you feel any pain or discomfort in your body I want you to now take those sensations and also put them in the basket I will give you a couple minutes to do this as well you you you now I want you to take that basket and off to the side of the basket is a lid I want you to cover up the basket and as you put the lid on it magically seals so you cannot open it back up and as you close it take a deep breath in and as you breathe out I want you to blow that basket out into the sky if you need to breathe in again and blow out again the second time do it with more passion and more strength to blow that away into the divine presence that is taking it from you you no longer need to be burdened with any of these thoughts or feelings or sensations in your body you are now free to let that go and to now allow absolute greatness into your life and as you see that basket go out into the sky out into the universe it's so far away you no longer can see it and as it completely disappears you notice a beautiful white star shining right above you flowing towards you it's almost as if the star is giddy and happy and so joyful to help you on your journey as this star moves closer to you it becomes just a beautiful light that surrounds you this peaceful calming joyful light becomes you surrounds you is within you and imagine that you are this light you are this beautiful divine spiritual being who knows nothing but love and calm and peace and joy you are filled up with so much love right now that you can feel the energy flowing outwards into your world into your surroundings imagine that beautiful powerful you that magnetic divine being that you are flowing out into your room into your home into your neighborhood and it keeps flowing and in that flow it attracts all great things and the most important part is you feel so good knowing that you are a beautiful divine being and you no longer need to hold on to any of the stress or the burdens that are in your life in this moment I want you to know that you are being supported by so many divine beings there's nothing that you can't handle especially knowing that you are not alone and as you come back into this time space reality I want you to feel that deep within you there's nothing you cannot handle and if anything is too big too hard to handle you just put it in that divine basket and send it off to the divine beings who are more than happy to take care of it for you and in return you will always be filled with a divine love just invited in and you will feel so calm and peaceful and most importantly you will feel so very loved and as you come back into your body into your room you begin to feel your toes and your fingers you begin to feel yourself waking up and when you open your eyes I want you to look around and thank the universe for all that you have in this moment because you are so so very blessed to be alive my name is Michelle Joy thank you so much for going on this journey with me you
