Releasing Worry & Building Self-Acceptance With Breath Work

This is a guided meditation.

We're finding a moment to deepen your relationship with your breath in order to move into a gentle,

Loving connection with yourself and find a space of inner peace.

Let's start with five deep and gentle breaths together.

With each breath,

We're going to gently inhale and hold for a count of five seconds at the top of the breath.

Let's begin.

One.

Fully inhale positive energy.

Two.

Five.

And as you exhale,

Gently let go of your breath.

Two.

Inhaling the experience of goodness.

And five,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

And exhaling into a sense of relaxation.

Three.

Inhaling your own self-acceptance and inviting it to expand within you.

And exhale any judgment.

Four,

Inhaling a deep experience of health and clarity.

Five.

And hold.

And let's exhale into the remedy.

One more gentle breath in,

Fully inhaling desire and achievement.

And as you pause and fighting the oxygen to expand and tend to your mind and your body and exhale into a sense of complete relaxation.

Imagine you are letting go of all concern from your daily life and you invite your breath to return to a gentle,

Soothing kingdom.

This is a new opportunity for deepening your relationship with yourself when faced with worries and concern.

Whenever worry or concerns present themselves,

Simply take in five full deep breaths,

Holding at the top of each inhalation for five seconds.

Imagine that you're exhaling out any concern or fears that you hold in your mind or your body.

And when you take in your last breath,

Imagine you are breathing in courage and strength.

And as you release,

Notice that you are letting go any concern and inviting yourself into a state of deep relaxation.

For some of us,

Relaxation does not come easily.

Sometimes it's even hard to imagine the experience of feeling calm or at peace.

Yet,

People-ness is an inherent part of our self.

And sometimes our brain and our body just need to be reminded that it exists.

Imagine now that you're breathing in a deep sense of peace and calm.

Notice the colors of your unique experience of people-ness and continue to exhale and release any lingering tension.

Breathing in calm and exhaling into a deeper sense of relaxation and self-connection.

Beautiful.

And as we bring this exercise to a gentle close,

Remember,

Self-connection exists within your breath.

And as we breathe in and connect to ourselves,

We can release that which does not serve us.

And your breath is always with you.
