Transcript

Welcome to this short stress relief meditation. Find a comfortable position, Whether sitting or laying down. Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in and slowly out. Let's begin by centering ourselves in this moment. Take a deep breath in through your nose, Feeling your belly expand and exhale through your mouth. Slowly inhale all the way to your belly and exhale, Let go. With each breath, Feel yourself becoming more relaxed, More grounded. Let your shoulders drop, Let the tension flow away with every breath you take. Breathing calm and breathe out any tension you're feeling. Let go of any thoughts or worries as you focus on your breath. Now gently bring your awareness to the top of your head, Notice any sensations or areas of tension. Slowly skin down your forehead, Your eyes, Your jaw. And as you do, Allow each part of your body to relax. Move your awareness down through your neck, Your shoulders, Your arms. Move your awareness down through your neck, Your shoulders and your arms. Feel any tension melting away. Continue this gentle skin down your back, Your chest and your legs, All the way to your feet. Let any stress or tightness release with each exhale. Now imagine a soft, Warm light surrounding you, A light that brings you peace and calm. As you breathe in, Feel this light filling your body with relaxation and peace. And as you breathe out, Imagine all stress leaving your body, Carried away by your breath. Take a deep breath in through your nose, All the way to your belly, And a deep breath out. In your mind, Gently repeat these words, I am calm, I am at peace, I am letting go. I am calm, I am at peace, I am letting go. Feel each word resonate within you, Bringing a deeper sense of calm and relaxation with every breath. Repeat one more time, I am calm, I am at peace, I am letting go. Slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings, Wiggle your fingers and toes. And when you're ready, Gently open your eyes. Take this sense of calm with you as you continue your day, And know that you can always come back to this meditation for a quick release and focus on your breathing. Namaste.
