This is a guided meditation using breathing as the main tool to calm the mind. The intention is to help you shift your state of mind to a place of gratitude and happiness by introducing positive affirmations. In order to be open to receive, it is important to first relax the body and reduce stress by just breathing slowly and deeply. The 4-2-4 technique is a great way to start using the breath to relax. Inhale slowly to the count of 4, hold your breath for the count of 2, and then exhale slowly to the count of 4. If you get distracted during the meditation bring yourself back by noticing your breathing. It is normal to drift away so keep practicing. You can create your own affirmations and repeat them in your mind or aloud when you want to bring your state of mind to a more positive state. Affirmations work better when they are short, in present, have an intention, and are positive. Thank you for meditating with me!

Transcript

This will be a short meditation to incorporate some positive thinking into our day.

So I will guide you and we're going to use the breath to open some space within and welcome some positive thoughts.

So start by finding a comfortable position where you can relax and spend few minutes by yourself.

Close your eyes and get ready.

Start by taking some long deep inhale,

Inhale deeply and slowly and then exhale slowly.

One more time,

Take a long deep inhale and then exhale.

Last time,

Take a long deep inhale and then exhale slowly.

Now you can go back and breathe at your own rhythm.

Just take the time to notice the air getting in contact with your body,

Flowing through your whole body.

And then exhale slowly to allow the air to spend more time inside of your body.

Start relaxing your feet by just setting the intention to breathe directly down to your feet and allow your feet to relax.

And then let the relaxation go up to your legs.

So relax your knees.

Relax your upper legs,

Your hips and your stomach.

Pay attention to your stomach and notice how it rises up when you inhale and how it contracts when you exhale.

So think about the inhale and the exhale as a dance with relaxation and releasing.

So when you inhale,

Invite relaxation into your body and when you exhale,

Allow the stress and the tension to leave your body.

Relax your chest,

Where we have one of the most important organs of our bodies,

The heart.

And inhale knowing that you're helping your heart to function better.

And exhale knowing that you're releasing toxins,

Stress,

Tension,

Worries out of your body.

Relax your shoulders,

Your arms,

Your hands,

Your lower back,

Your upper back,

Your neck,

Your face,

Your mouth,

Your nose.

Your eyes and your forehead.

And with the next inhale,

Allow your mind to relax,

Opening a space within.

At this point,

You can do a quick scan through your body to identify areas where you're still holding some stress.

And make sure that you use the breathing,

The inhale to bring relaxation to that part of your body and then exhale knowing that the stress is leaving your body.

And now with the body completely relaxed and with space open within,

I'm going to repeat some positive affirmations and all you have to do is just take them in,

Contemplate on them,

And keep breathing.

I am loved.

I am happy.

I am thankful.

I am a good person.

I have abundance.

I am healthy.

I have compassion.

I express gratitude.

I have many talents.

I am honest.

All is well.

I invite you to constantly repeat positive affirmations to yourself.

I invite you to say positive affirmations to others.

I invite you to think positively.

And to imagine that everything that you set your mind to is achievable.

Now you can open your eyes and continue with your day.

Thank you.
