    Soothing Anxiety with Breath Awareness

    Here’s a Sample of the “Soothing Anxiety with Breath Awareness” Guided Meditation Script:

    Find a quiet place where you can be free from distractionsAnd take a comfortable seat that promotes good postureSet a timer for 5 minutes or longer,But choose a meditation length that will allow you to feel successfulConsistent meditation of just 5 minutes per day, is far better than one occasional 30-minute sessionWith your eyes opened or closed, breathe gently in and out through your noseAnd then as you sit here, watching the breathDraw attention to your heart, and your desire to experience clam, peace and easeConnect to this yearning inside of youAnd then silently, to yourselfCommit to remaining here, for the duration of your timerAnd commit to the practice of simply watching and noticing the breathAnd then having made that heartfelt commitment,Return to your job, which is breath awareness

    Perhaps settling in on the feeling of the breathAs it moves in and out through your noseFrom the tip of the noseTo the space between your eyebrowsOr sensing the breath as it fills and expands your lungsThen empties againOr aware of the breath as it moves all the way down into your bellyOr spaciously sensing the overall rise and fall of the bodyWith each breath in, and each breath outListen, for the ways in which the breath is speaking to youStay open, stay curiousAnd remain free from any judgment or self-criticismThe breath is perfect right now, just as it isYour role, is simply to watch(pause 2 breaths)
