Thank you for joining me for this meditation on calming your anxiety.
I always like to start with three big deep breaths,
Breathing in through the nose,
Filling up the belly,
Making a nice audible sigh on your exhale.
I would like you to still pay attention to your breath,
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth in any pattern that is comfortable for you.
Feel your feet either on the ground or feel your bottom in your chair.
And just keep breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
I would like you to imagine as you're breathing in through your nose that you're actually drawing the breath in to your belly button so that as you breathe in,
You can feel your belly expand.
And as you breathe out,
You can feel your belly collapse.
Breathing in peace and breathing out anxiousness.
Breathing in love and breathing out worry.
Breathing in light and sighing out anything heavy.
Breathing in lightness,
Letting go.
Imagine that there is a stream.
As you're breathing in,
You can almost feel the air a little cooler,
A little cleaner.
Imagine with your eyes closed that you can see the light on the water.
Breathing in and breathing out.
You can see the water ripple as it moves around rocks.
You might even imagine that there are birds in the trees and that right here,
Right now,
Everything is peaceful.
Sometimes to get deeper into the body and out of the mind,
We can breathe in through the mouth and breathe out through the mouth.
So if you would like to shift,
You can breathe in through your mouth,
Filling up your belly and breathing out through your mouth.
Breathing in through your mouth,
Breathing out through your mouth.
So as you're breathing in through your mouth,
Imagine that the air,
The light,
And the energy can move to the back of your body,
Travels through the lungs back to the kidneys and the adrenals.
So that as you breathe in,
You're breathing your breath into the source of excess adrenaline and cortisol.
And as you breathe out,
You can release the effects of excess adrenaline and cortisol.
Breathing in through your mouth,
Bringing balance to your system,
Regulating your body.
Breathing in,
Bringing your breath down to your kidneys,
Breathing out,
Releasing the overwhelm.
Here you go.
Imagine for the feeling of relief.
As you breathe in and as you breathe out,
Becoming more calm,
Becoming more centered,
Becoming more connected to the earth.
Breathing in,
And you can choose either to breathe in through your nose or breathe in through your mouth.
My attention is now brought up to the head.
So as you're breathing in,
Breathe in through the top of your head and still bring the breath down into the belly.
Breathing the air,
The light,
The energy in through the top of the head,
And then breathing out through the perineum,
Becoming more connected to yourself,
More connected to the earth.
Breathing in through your nose,
Breathing out through the top of your head,
More centered,
More stable with each breath.
You may reach down and connect your hands to your legs or your knees.
More calm,
More centered,
More stable.
Thank you for joining me.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
