Guided Meditation for Stress

To practice this guided meditation, sit in a comfortable position, with your back straight and your head level and breathe in with the breathing in lines and breathe out with the breathing out lines.

Keep the focus on the meditation but let your body and mind take in what it feels and then let it out with the breath.

Breathing in, I am aware of my breath going in

Breathing out, I am aware of my breath going out

Breathing in, I am present in my body

Breathing out, I am present in time and space

Breathing in, I invite a new perspective on anxiety

Breathing out, I empty my mind

Breathing in, I give myself the gift of fresh air

Breathing out, I give back to the world

Breathing in, I recognize that I suffer from anxiety

Breathing out, I wish to change that habit

Breathing in, I know that I am human

Breathing out, I know that people get anxious

Breathing In, I feel the pain and worry

Breathing out, I give that to the world

Breathing in, I feel the world’s anxiety
