Guided Meditation: Helping To Calm Your Mind

Welcome to this guided meditation for beginners. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, and gently close your eyes. Let’s begin.

Begin by taking a few deep breaths, inhaling deeply through your nose, and exhaling slowly through your mouth. Feel the tension leaving your body with each breath out.

Now, bring your awareness to your body. Notice any areas of tension or discomfort. Without judgment, simply observe these sensations and allow them to soften with each breath.

Next, shift your focus to your breath. Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing, the rise and fall of your chest or abdomen. There’s no need to control your breath, just observe it as it is.

As you continue to breathe, imagine each inhale filling you with calm and relaxation, and each exhale releasing any stress or tension you may be holding onto. Allow each breath to anchor you in the present moment.

Now, bring your attention to the sensations in your body. Start from the top of your head and slowly scan down to your toes, noticing any areas of tightness or ease. With each breath, imagine sending relaxation to these areas, allowing them to soften and release.

If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath or the sensations in your body. Remember, it’s natural for thoughts to arise, but you have the power to choose where to direct your attention.

Now, take a moment to express gratitude for this time you’ve taken for yourself. Gratitude for your breath, your body, and this opportunity to find peace within.

As we near the end of this meditation, take a few more deep breaths, gradually bringing your awareness back to the present moment. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you’re ready, gently open your eyes.

Remember, you can return to this sense of calm and relaxation anytime you need by simply focusing on your breath and tuning into your body.

Thank you for joining me in this guided meditation for beginners. May you carry this sense of peace with you throughout your day.

You can print this guided meditation on a piece of paper, slowly read the script as you go to learn what you need to do. Once you have taught yourself the basics your will be able to do it yourself without the use of reading. Enjoy!

With warmth & compassion
