Hello everyone, welcome to this episode of the Mindful in Minutes podcast.
I'm Kelly and today we are going to do a meditation practice to bring you hope and knowing that
you will get through this.
And of course, if you're listening to this and you can think of someone that you think
would really love this meditation or any of the other meditations on this feed, feel free
to share it or leave a review or rating and then others can find these practices that
are looking for them.
So as we dive into this meditation, I want you to remember to give yourself compassion
and grace.
There is a lot going on in your life right now, and you are really going through it.
You will get through it.
But be gentle with yourself as we take the next few minutes together to meditate.
We'll begin by taking three slow deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and taking a long
slow exhale out of the mouth.
Inhale followed by a long slow exhale.
Do this two more times, signaling to your body and mind that you are safe in this moment,
that it's ok to be here and just let yourself feel.
Do one more of these breaths, and now settle into a natural effortless rhythm of breath.
Just let the air flow in and out.
If you find yourself getting any big feelings or waves of emotion, just return to that full
inhale and long open mouth exhale to reset and ground yourself.
Imagine a protective iridescent bubble around you.
This bubble surrounds your body and creates a protective barrier between you and the world
In this bubble you are safe, you are free from judgment, and you are free to feel and
show up however you need to today.
You are safe.
No one can see you or judge you in this little bubble.
Be present in this moment, tune in to yourself, and just feel your feelings.
Allow yourself the space to feel.
Feel whatever comes to mind without judgment, there is no wrong way to feel in this moment.
Just let yourself feel those feelings, anything that has been bottled up or pushed down, anything.
Just let yourself sit with your feelings for the next few moments.
Take a few more moments to just sit with your feelings and be, let anything out that needs
to come out.
And now imagine that you are standing inside your home, looking out of your window, and
you see that it is beginning to rain.
It starts as a little drizzle at first, and you watch as the raindrops begin to fall down
the window one by one, it begins to rain a little bit harder, and you decide to go outside.
You step outside, and now it's raining harder, it's really starting to come down, and you
look at the rain, and you set the intention, may this rain wash away my pain, sadness,
and anguish.
You set your intention, and you step out into the rain.
You can feel the rain getting on your clothes, running down your face, getting your hair
wet.
More and more rain begins to come down, until eventually your clothes are soaked, and you
can feel with every raindrop that hits your body, that cleansing power beginning to wash
away those big feelings, washing away the feelings of hopelessness, of being stuck,
or not knowing what to do or how to get through it, and it's all getting washed away by the
rain, just letting the rain fall from the sky, and remove all of those tough feelings
from your body in this moment.
Each passing moment, your energy is cleared, and you begin to feel lighter, and the pain
is being washed away.
Now the rain begins to get lighter, it's beginning to hold up, it's even lighter now, and eventually
it stops.
You can smell that distinct scent of the world after it's just rained, and you take a few
big deep breaths.
As you do, the sun begins to peek out from between the clouds, and a few rays hit your
face.
The sun gets stronger, and you are slowly bathed in sunlight, and as the sun hits your
body, you are filled with new feelings.
These ones are of hope, calm, and acceptance.
As more and more sunlight hits your skin, you become more confident in knowing that
you will get through this.
There will be a day where this will all be in the past, and you will come out on the
other side of all of it stronger, and having evolved in some way.
As you stand bathed in sunlight, you tell yourself three times, I will get through this.
One day, this will all be in the past.
I can get through this.
I will get through this.
Taking a big deep breath in through the nose, open mouth exhale, sigh it out, letting go.
Beginning to reawaken gently, maybe opening your eyes, wiggling your toes.
Thank you so much for coming and sharing your meditation practice with me today.
