This is a compassionate five-minute guided meditation designed specifically for easing anxiety after health scare.
Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down.
Let your hands rest loosely in your lap by your sides.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and gently exhale through your mouth.
Feel the weight of your body supported by the chair or the surface beneath you.
Notice the points of contact.
You are safe in this moment.
With your next inhale,
Imagine breathing in calm,
Steady,
And positive energy.
As you exhale,
Picture releasing any tightness or fear from your body in the form of a fog out through your nose or mouth.
Let your shoulders relax.
Soften your jaw.
Unclench your hands.
Your body is allowed to rest.
Bring your attention to your heart.
Place a hand on your heart if it feels comforting.
Silently say to yourself,
I am here.
I am okay right now.
Let those words wrap around you like a warm blanket.
I am okay right now.
Now imagine a soft,
Golden light in your chest.
With each breath,
This light slowly flows down through your body,
Soothing,
Restoring.
Bringing a sense of peace and healing calm to every cell in your body.
See the soft,
Warm,
Golden light moving through your chest and your arms,
Down your torso,
Through your legs,
All the way to your toes,
And upward from your chest,
Through your neck,
Your head and face,
All the way through the crown of your head.
This light is your body's natural capacity to heal and recover.
Now with one more deep,
Nourishing breath in,
And a slow,
Complete breath out.
Gently begin to move your fingers and your toes.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and carry this calm with you.
Knowing that you can return to it anytime you need.
