Welcome to this guided meditation designed to help you achieve a deeply restful state through the power of auditory digital references. As you embark on this journey, allow yourself to embrace a feeling of calm and control over your inner world, enhancing your sense of gratitude, forgiveness, peace, stillness and self-worth.
Begin by finding a comfortable position. You can sit or lie down, whichever feels most relaxing for you. Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in, filling your lungs completely, and then slowly exhale, letting go of any tension or stress you may be holding onto. Take a few more deep breaths at your own pace, each time inhaling calmness and exhaling any worries.
Now, allow your mind to focus on your thoughts. Imagine yourself in a quiet, serene room where you can hear only your own breathing and heartbeat. This room represents your inner sanctuary, a place where you can connect deeply with your thoughts and feelings.
As you settle into this peaceful space, repeat silently to yourself, “I am grateful for everything I have in my life.” Let this thought resonate within you, creating a sense of appreciation and contentment. Feel the gratitude spreading through your mind and body, bringing a sense of calm and peace.
Next, focus on the idea that “I can control my own happiness.” Repeat this phrase to yourself, feeling the empowerment it brings. Understand that your happiness is within your control, and you have the ability to create joy and fulfilment in your life. Allow this thought to flow through you, reinforcing your sense of agency and control.
Now, gently remind yourself, “I am enough.” Let these words sink in deeply, affirming your worth and value. Know that you are complete just as you are, and you have everything you need within you. Allow this realisation to bring a profound sense of peace and acceptance.
Take a moment to reflect on any mistakes or regrets you may be holding onto. Silently say to yourself, “I forgive myself for my mistakes.” Feel the release of any guilt or shame, allowing forgiveness to wash over you. Understand that mistakes are part of being human, and forgiving yourself is a step toward healing and growth.
As you continue to relax, remind yourself, “I can experience joy.” Embrace this thought wholeheartedly, opening yourself up to the possibility of joy and happiness. Know that you deserve to feel joy, and allow this feeling to fill your heart and mind. Focus on your heart space for a moment. Allow your heart to fill with love, self acceptance and joy. Feel your heart enabling the rest of your body and mind to integrate this new reality.
Now, focus on letting go of anything that may be holding you back from rest. Silently repeat, “I can let go of everything holding me back from rest.” Imagine any worries, fears, or negative thoughts drifting away, leaving you feeling light and free. Allow this release to bring a deep sense of relaxation and peace.
Finally, affirm to yourself, “I can be restful.” Embrace this thought, knowing that you have the ability to create a state of restfulness within yourself. Allow your mind and body to fully relax, sinking into a deep state of calm and tranquility.
Take a few moments to sit with these thoughts, letting them resonate within you. Feel the deep sense of gratitude, empowerment, forgiveness, joy, and restfulness that they bring. Know that you can return to these affirmations and the feelings it brings, anytime you need to find peace and relaxation.
As we come to the end of this meditation, take a few deep breaths, slowly bringing your awareness back to the present moment. Wiggle your fingers and toes, feeling the connection to your body. When you are ready, gently open your eyes, bringing with you the sense of peace and relaxation you’ve cultivated during this meditation.
Gently lie on your left side in the foetal position – legs tucked in and your head resting on your arm. Stay in this position for however long you need. When you are ready, gently bring yourself back to a seated position.
Remember, you can return to this inner speech experience anytime you need to find serenity and rejuvenation. The thoughts and affirmations you’ve embraced today are always within you, ready to provide comfort and relaxation.
Thank you for joining me in this guided meditation. May you carry this sense of peace and relaxation with you throughout your day, feeling grateful, empowered, and at peace, wholeheartedly connected to your true self.
