Welcome to this guided meditation that will help you to reduce anxiety and improve your overall mental well-being. Please make yourself comfortable and find a place where you can relax and let go. You can sit, lie down, or stand–whatever feels most comfortable to you. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, hold for just a moment, and then release the breath out through your mouth. Allow yourself to relax more deeply with each exhale.

As you relax more deeply, bring your thoughts to the present moment. Allow any thoughts, feelings, or sensations to come and go without judgement or attachment. Simply observe and let go of any distractions.

Now, let's focus our attention on our breath for a moment. Inhale deeply through your nose, and feel the breath filling your lungs, expanding your chest and belly. Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension or strain you may be holding onto. Continue to breathe in and out, slowly and deeply, feeling more and more relaxed with each breath.

As you breathe, imagine a peaceful and calming environment. You can visualize a serene forest, calm ocean waves, or a favorite peaceful place from your memories. As you visualize this environment, imagine yourself immersing yourself in it, surrounded by the beauty, the calm, and the peacefulness of your surroundings.

Now, bring your attention to the present moment, and repeat the following affirmations to yourself:

1. I am safe.
2. All is well.
3. I am worthy of love and happiness.

Take a deep breath in, pausing for a moment and allowing these affirmations to sink in on a deeper level.

As you let go of these affirmations, allow your mind to expand and widen, and as you breathe deeply, let go of any fears, insecurity, or doubts that you may have about yourself, about your future, or about your well-being.

As you continue to breathe, let go of judgment and criticism towards yourself and others, let go of any anxiety you may have, and allow yourself to relax and let go into a deep sense of well-being.

Visualize a powerful, protective light around you, wrapping you in its warmth and love. Allowing you to feel safe, calm, and peaceful.

As you breathe, you may experience a deep sense of relaxation,

Welcome to this guided meditation for grounding, breathing deeply, and positive affirmations. Find a comfortable position, whether seated or lying down, and let’s begin.

First, allow yourself to bring your attention to your breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose, feeling the air fill your abdomen, and release it slowly through your mouth. Continue to breathe deeply, feeling each inhale and exhale as they pass through your body. Allow any thoughts or distractions to simply pass by, without judgment or attachment.

As you inhale, imagine the air bringing in calm and peaceful energy, and as you exhale, imagine any tension or anxiety leaving your body. Continue with this breath for a few more moments.

Now, bring your attention to your body. Feel yourself grounded and connected to the earth beneath you. Visualize roots extending from your feet, anchoring you to the ground. Feel the support and strength of the earth, and know that you are safe and secure.

As you inhale, imagine drawing in this grounding energy, and as you exhale, imagine yourself becoming more firmly anchored to the earth. Visualize yourself as a tree that is solid, strong, and rooted.

Next, bring to mind a peaceful and calming memory or place. Perhaps it’s a quiet beach, a mountain trail, or a cozy living room. Imagine yourself there, surrounded by the tranquility and beauty of that place. Take in the colors, smells, and sounds around you, and let yourself fully relax into the experience.

As you breathe in, imagine drawing in this peaceful energy, and as you exhale, release any remaining tension or stress.

Now, repeat after me: 

I am safe. 
I am calm. 
I trust in my ability to handle any challenges that come my way. 

Repeat these affirmations slowly and intentionally, letting each word sink in deeply. Allow yourself to feel the truth and power of these affirmations.

As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine sending positive, healing energy throughout your body. Visualize each breath renewing and revitalizing you, both physically and emotionally. You are capable of healing and transformation.

Take a moment to thank yourself for taking this time to ground, breathe deeply, and affirm your positive qualities. Know that you can return to this place of calm and safety anytime you need it.

As we come to the end of this practice, remind yourself that it is okay to feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed at times. These emotions are a natural part of the human experience. Offer yourself a message of self-compassion and acceptance, reminding yourself that you are doing the best you can. 

Take one more deep breath in through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. When you are ready, gently open your eyes and return to your day, carrying with you the peace and strength of this meditation.
