Welcome to this meditation to ease anxiety and calm the mind and body.
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Allow your hands to rest naturally.
If any tension is present,
Simply notice it and allow it to be there for a moment.
There is no need to push it away.
We will begin with a breathing exercise to help you unwind and relax.
Each inhale and exhale will bring a sense of settling and ease.
Follow my guidance.
Inhale deeply,
Expanding your belly.
Exhale slowly,
Feeling your stomach soften.
Take another smooth breath in and release it gently,
Letting go of anything you are holding.
One last calming inhale and a slow,
Complete exhale,
Letting your body settle in.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
Simply breathe.
Silently repeat these words.
I am safe here to relax.
I am softening into ease.
I am here in this moment.
Continue breathing naturally,
Letting each inhale and exhale come and go.
Now,
Let's move into a gentle body scan to settle even more as you rest here.
Begin by softening your forehead.
Ease your eyes.
Loosen your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your hands and arms.
Soften your chest,
Belly,
And hips.
Rest your legs and feet.
Let your breath be calm and natural.
Silently repeat these words.
I feel settled in my body.
I hold a sense of calm within me.
I am grounded and at ease.
Now,
Begin to imagine yourself feeling more at ease within your body,
As if anything that once felt heavy has gently lifted.
Your body feels lighter,
Your mind clearer,
Your breath steadier.
You feel more at ease in your body.
Notice what it's like to move through this moment with more openness and calm.
Nothing pulling at your attention,
Just a quiet sense of space and steadiness within you.
See yourself moving through your day with the same feeling,
Responding with clarity,
Carrying a sense of calm with you.
Your movements feel smooth and unhurried.
Your thoughts feel quieter,
More spacious.
There is a natural sense of balance within you.
Rest here for a few more moments,
Allowing yourself to settle into this calm,
Open state.
As we begin to close,
Let the body and mind be in peace.
When you are ready,
Bring gentle awareness back to your surroundings.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Slowly open your eyes.
Notice the colors around you and any sounds you may hear.
Carry this sense of calm with you,
Feeling settled and at ease.
Thank you for supporting your well-being.
