This is a short,
Mindful meditation for moments of stress,
Overwhelm,
And anxiety to release,
Rest,
And reset.
Take a moment to find a quiet,
Safe place.
Take a seat in your office chair,
Or in a private room,
Or next to a tree,
And allow yourself to surrender to this moment.
Know that you are at the right place and at the right time,
And there's nothing right or wrong.
Allow yourself here to bring your attention to my voice.
Allow my voice to guide you through this mindfulness exercise.
I invite you to be the observer,
To bring curiosity and wonderment to the present moment,
To your internal state.
Begin by noticing your thoughts.
Are they fast?
Are they slow?
Are they negative?
Positive?
Just notice them.
Get curious about them.
Notice where your mind wanders.
Then begin to bring your attention to your physical body.
Notice any tensions,
Tingling,
Numbness,
Any aches or pains in your head,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Your arms.
Just noticing what physical sensations are showing up.
Notice your torso,
Your stomach,
Your sit bones,
All the way down to your legs and feet.
Notice with curiosity and wonderment,
There's no right or wrong.
We're not fixing or changing.
Then bring your attention to your breath,
To the rise and fall of your chest,
To your heartbeat.
Just noticing.
And finally,
Bringing your attention to any emotions arising.
Sadness,
Stress,
Frustration,
Anger,
Resentment.
Just noticing fear,
Jealousy,
Shame,
Guilt.
Simply noticing the emotions that arise in this present moment,
Bringing full awareness to all parts within you,
Knowing that they are not you,
But experiencing you are having an experience within you.
Now very gently,
Simply ask yourself,
What do I need in this moment?
What is my mind,
My body,
And my emotions asking for?
Take a moment to notice.
And when you are ready,
Very slowly and gently come back to the room where you are sitting.
Come back to the space where you chose to take a moment for yourself.
And ever slowly coming back into the body.
Slowly wiggling your toe,
Wiggling your fingers,
Rolling your shoulders back,
Stretching as needed.
As you come back to the present moment,
To the body,
To the now.
After this short,
Mindful meditation,
I thank you for listening,
And I acknowledge you for choosing yourself in this moment.
