Here’s a Sample of the “A Compassion Meditation Script to Ease Anxiety” Guided Meditation Script:
Sit tall, but relaxed, in a quiet and safe place
Breathe patiently and evenly in and out through your nose
Count out three, slow and perfect breaths
One long, full breath in,
And one long, full breath out
Again with a full, slow breath in,
And a full, slow breath out
One more time, breathe in
And then empty with breath out
And now let your breathing relax,
But find a nice balance between letting go of controlled breath all together,
And still aware of, and extending the length of the exhale breath a tiny bit
Take note of how you’re feeling right now in your body, heart and mind
Ask yourself, what’s present in the body?
Maybe you notice physical sensation, discomfort, ease, what’s here?
And then from an overall sense of the body, check in with the heart space
Are there any emotions present?
And then what about what’s going on in the mind?
Are there any stories present, positive or negative, that you may relate
To this felt sensation, or to these emotions
Notice what’s here without self-criticism, without self judgment
In fact, notice what’s here with an open heart, a loving kindness, a sense of compassion
To help us tap into that sense of compassion,
We’ll repeat to ourselves a few phrases
