Introduction
Genuine confidence arises when we accept this moment, and ourselves, just as is. This confidence meditation script guides the listener into an embodied experience of presence. Having grounded in breath awareness, we are invited to accept the entirety of what we notice, even if unpleasant. The result is a calm and clarity that’s independent of our circumstances, the ground for authentic self-confidence.
Anxiety is dependent on a mind that’s preoccupied with the future. One antidote to anxiety then, is guiding the mind back to the present moment. In this 5 minute meditation script for anxiety, we do just that. The listener is invited to ground their awareness in the body, surrendering to gravity and the connection to the earth. Held by this supportive presence, we can then turn attention to sensation in the body, observing what’s present.
The practice centers on accepting what’s present, softening around it and letting it go. All the while, we remain supported by the body and breath. By practicing presence with this moment as is, we build trust in our natural state of calm and clarity, and find confidence in our own resiliency.
