hello this is Sara Raymond with mindful movement thank you for taking the time to listen to this guided meditation to help reduce stress and anxiety this practice of relaxation is most beneficial when done regularly where the benefits are compounding and over time it will become easier for you while this practice of meditation will take many different forms and look different from person to person don't expect perfection be patient with your practice and the resulting effects if you find value from this and believe you know someone else that can benefit from listening please share with your friends and family the idea of being in the present moment is a powerful one when it comes to anxiety and stress we are often scheduled to the max and we become physically and emotionally stressed out we often find our mind cluttered and overthinking we worry about how the past could have gone differently where we wonder if the future will go as exactly as we plan it this meditation will help to calm down your overthinking mind it will help you to be present so that you can simplify and clear the clutter of your mind it has been said by many great thought leaders in this world but the way we do anything is the way we do everything so if we want to declutter our mind we must also declutter our physical world this mindfulness meditation can be used to focus on the present moment and let go of worries about the past and anxieties about the future more you practice this the easier it will become for you and you will see the benefits trickle over into many other areas of your life and now turn off all distractions and commit this time for yourself let go of your to-do lists and your responsibilities take this time for you for self-care of the gift to enjoy you must first help yourself and love yourself before you can help or love anyone else and when you are ready close your eyes and bring your full awareness to your breath begin to count your breath in then as you breathe out encourage the exhale to be one count longer than the inhale allow each exhale to carry away with it any physical and emotional stress and tension by exhaling longer than you inhale your breath will naturally slow and your body will calm down do this for a few breaths cycles then allow the breath to return to its natural rhythm know that your breath is an anchor to the present moment you know that you cannot get back a breath from your past nor can you make a future breath come any sooner than the present moment so you know you are always in the present moment when you are attentive to your breath as you may still have thoughts going through your mind notice them from afar as if you are an observer notice your thoughts and acknowledge them by saying in your mind thinking then come back to the breath and use this breath as an anchor to keep coming back to whenever your mind wanders this breath anchor is a grounding and stress relieving practice to continue outside of the session whenever you may experience a stressful situation at any point in life you can always just come back to your breath as if you are starting over this anchor will allow you to relax and times of stress as you focus your attention on your breath approach this meditation with the intention to simplify and to slow down allow your body to soften and your breath to be gone know that your body responds to your thoughts so think about relaxing and ask your body for a release of tension your mind is so powerful in creating change in all aspects of your life and now as you breathe in imagine that your breath has a bright white color to it and it is filling you up as you breathe out that white light is taking with it any physical tension or feelings of anxiety take a long slow deep breath in through your nose and now move the breath all the way down into your abdomen filling you up with light and making space then allow your body to just surrender as you exhale breathing out anything that no longer serves you each full breath clears out the clutter and relaxes your body and mind even more deeply and now invite your body to relax each muscle completely begin with the muscles around the eyes and the jaw by relaxing these muscles specifically the rest of the body knows exactly what to do and will relax in response continue to unclench the jaw completely and soften the muscles around the eyes to begin to feel that familiar heaviness throughout the entire body all you have to do is think about relaxing and releasing the tension in your body and your body will respond because it listens to what your mind tells it and now feel the entire body let go feel that the tension in your body has begun to loosen and subside stay with your breath when you find your mind wandering stay with the physical sensations of your body so that your mind can continue to clear the clutter of the overthinking tendency know that your subconscious mind will be aware of anything that is important to you you are in complete control but for now your mind and body know it is time to relax and let go time to slow down right now all sounds around you are unimportant and they just add to your relaxation all responsibilities and items on your to-do list are unimportant right now all you need to do is follow the sound of my voice as a guide and allow your body to relax and your subconscious mind will do the job of clearing the clutter notice how deep and calm your breath has become as you continue to relax deeper and deeper you now allow yourself to drift into a deep state of relaxation letting yourself go letting your body mind and spirit become one and now begin to use your imagination and take a moment to see yourself in front of a beautifully decorated glass elevator door this class door is etched and frosted with the most amazing design on it see this design in your mind reach out and feel the texture with your fingertips feel the cool temperature of the glass this elevator will take you down to the deepest part of your subconscious mind so that you can declutter your thoughts release tension and negativity you see the door slowly opening and you step into the spacious elevator you know you are completely safe and you can see through the glass walls of the elevator you push the B button so that you can go down to the basement of your mind this elevator will lead you deep into relaxation each level will take you deeper down and in a moment as I begin to count the elevator will take you down slowly into a more deep relaxation you will find that a deeper down you go the more comfortable and the more relaxed you'll become 10 as the elevator begins at slow descent you are deeply relaxed you feel the stress melting away 9 you feel yourself completely letting go of any responsibilities or things you may need to do eight you know you are right where you need to be on your journey and you allow the outside world to just to turn off seven each level down takes you even deeper into a relaxed state six you're committed to taking your life and dreams to the next level five letting go completely for going deeper and deeper into comfort the REE almost to the basement of your subconscious mind – deep deep relaxation and one all the way into a deep state of relaxation and peace and now we have reached the bottom the elevator doors slowly open and you walk out into the basement of your subconscious mind you take a look around and see that you have stepped out into what looks like a library that stores all of your memories as well as the possibilities for your future there are rows and rows of shelves throughout the entire room each shelf filled with many many books you see books of all different sizes and colors some of the books are disorganized and there are areas of clutter around the floor in front of some of the shelves you feel an intense desire to organize the books so that they are easily accessed when needed and to clean up the clutter around the room knowing that by doing this you will organize and declutter your mind and your life you realize that just by thinking about organizing and cleaning magically this room changes the room becomes well-organized and the clutter is cleared this change has simplified your life and with this change you feel a positive change within yourself you know that deep inside you a switch has been reset so that everything works in your favor you are now organized and decluttered in all areas of your life as well as your thinking mind you are able to generate support and inspiration for yourself far more easily than before you enrich yourself mentally emotionally and spiritually to do all that it takes to actualize your goals thrive and live in alignment with your values and intentions you begin to take even better care of yourself you redefine yourself as a happier energetic and more lighthearted person you feel the physical weight of anxiety has been lifted to allow you to be a lighter and calmer you allow new and more empowered thoughts and inspired feelings of success healing wellness and happiness to profoundly build within you you respect yourself showing yourself loving kindness and compassion and now you let go of any negative thoughts that no longer serve you you let go of any pasts negativities and you replace them with positive behaviors positive thoughts and feelings of gratitude you are aware of your thoughts and you have the ability to change from a negative thought to a positive one just by being aware you believe that you could be strong and confident in your life you see your past limiting beliefs and behaviors disappear self-doubt fear and anxiety are things of the past and you replace them with optimism confidence and an easily calm disposition you trust your instincts and your abilities you are easily able to accept things as they are knowing that you are exactly where you are supposed to be on your journey and now bringing your attention to the room around you take one last look around at the organized and decluttered space of your subconscious mind know that this new organized space will translate to stress free anxiety free living in all aspects of your life now as you begin to walk back towards the elevator the doors slowly open and invite you in as you step into the elevator you have a strong sense that you can continue to reduce stress and anxiety in your life by continuing the process of simplifying and clearing the clutter oh you are capable of achieving your dreams and you have the potential to accomplish great things now bring your attention back to your physical body and your breath you will easily and effortlessly be able to use the breath as an anchor when you come out of the state of relaxation and now as an observer see yourself smiling with a positive calm and competent mind feeling proud and grateful when you awake you will still feel all of the positive feelings you experienced in this meditation and you have patience and persistence for the practice of simplifying and decluttering your mind and physical world in just a moment I will count as the elevator slowly brings you back up and when you get to the top you will begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment feeling relaxed yet energized and confident one you are slowly beginning to come out of
