Hi,
This is Linda Lang from ThoughtChange.
Welcome to this guided meditation for
grounding and centering.
Find a comfortable seated position either on
the floor or in a chair and gently close your eyes.
Take a moment to notice
your breath.
Breathe in deeply through your nose,
Allowing your lungs to fill
with fresh air.
And exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension,
Inhale deeply,
Counting to four,
And exhale,
Counting to six.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Continue this rhythmic pattern
of breathing,
Allowing each breath to bring a greater sense of calm and
relaxation.
And as you continue to breathe,
Imagine a warm golden light
surrounding your body.
With each inhale,
Visualize this light entering through
the crown of your head,
Filling your entire being with warmth and tranquility.
With each exhale,
Release any stress or tension you may be holding.
Bring your
awareness to the points of contact between your body and the surface
beneath you.
Feel the support beneath you.
Simply allow yourself to sink into this
support,
Feeling grounded and secure.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Becoming more and more grounded in your body,
Imagine roots extending from the
base of your spine,
Reaching down into the earth.
Feel these roots anchoring you,
Connecting you to the grounding energy of the earth.
With each breath,
Sense the
stability and strength that comes from this connection.
Shift your attention to
the present moment,
Letting go of any thoughts about the past or the future.
Focus on the here and now.
You are safe,
And this is your time to be present.
Take a moment to scan your body for any areas of tension.
If you notice any
tightness or discomfort,
Imagine your breath flowing into those areas,
Bringing
relief and relaxation.
Allow the breath to be a soothing balm,
Melting away any
tension.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Bring your attention to your heart center.
Imagine a warm radiant light glowing in the center of your chest.
This is your center
of love and compassion.
With each breath,
Allow this light to expand,
Filling your entire
being with love and acceptance.
If your mind begins to wander,
Gently bring it back to
your breath and the present moment.
Remember that it's natural for thoughts to come and go.
Acknowledge them without judgment and return your focus to your breath.
Slowly begin to
deepen your breath even more.
Wiggle your fingers and toes and bring your awareness back to your
physical body.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Take a moment to notice how you feel.
Remember that you can return to this meditation whenever you need a moment of grounding and centering.
Thank you for taking this time for yourself.
