    Here’s a Sample of the “Let Go of Thoughts and Let Go of Anxiety” Guided Meditation Script:

    You might sit up tall in a quiet place where you can be free from distractions
    Breathe slowly and evenly in and out through your nose
    Let your energy settle by anchoring your attention to the breath
    Soften your shoulders, belly and thighs
    And watch the breath with a sense of loving awe
    Breath in, breath out
    Feel the gentle rise and fall of the body
    As the body breathes itself
    And let yourself drop into a state of being, rather than doing
    Right here, right now, just present with the breath
    And as you watch the breath, of course, thoughts will still arise
    The mind is energy, and always at play
    Today, as you notice these thoughts
    Watch them as if from a distance
    You are not your thoughts, but the witness of these thoughts

    It can help to visualize your thoughts as if they are clouds or bubbles
    A thought arises, it floats up and into our awareness,
    And then if left alone, it will also float on by, dissipate, or burst
    Stay anchored to your breath as you play with awareness of this process
    Present with breath
    But aware of thought clouds, or thought bubbles that arise
    Like clouds, like bubbles,
    You might notice that these thoughts are not solid
    Not fixed
    They take shape, and they break apart
    They are continuously changing shape, blown by the wind
    They come and go
