Hello everyone, welcome to the last community mini of 2024.
Today we are doing a 5 minute meditation to help you accept change in your life.
And this month we are supporting an organization that I love, it's called Second Stork.
It's a local one to me, so it's in the Twin Cities here in Minnesota.
And this organization helps to provide families in need with essential newborn care items
just so they can give their baby a safe and healthy start.
So they give all sorts of things like diapers, wipes, newborn clothing, safe places to sleep,
things like that.
So that's who we're supporting this month.
And if this meditation resonates with you, I'd be so grateful if you'd be willing to
share it with a friend or on social media or leaving a review letting people know how
much you enjoyed it because it helps me reach the people looking for meditations like this.
So when you're ready, we'll begin our meditation by just settling in, finding a comfortable
position where you can relax your body, yet keep your mind alert and awake.
Allow your hands to rest gently at your sides or in your lap.
You can close your eyes or just soften your gaze if that feels better.
And now take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling your chest rise and expand on
slowly exhale through your mouth, feeling your chest soften and release as you let the
breath out.
Do this two more times.
Now allow yourself to be fully present in this moment.
Be here in your body in this moment.
Notice your breath and allow each inhale to bring you a sense of calm and each exhale
release any lingering resistance or negative feelings towards the change that you're experiencing.
Now gently bring to mind the change that you're going through.
It could be a shift in your work, a relationship, your health, or any other area of your life.
Just acknowledge the change and any discomfort or resistance you may be feeling towards it.
Breathe into those feelings.
Offer yourself compassion and understanding for how you're feeling and what you're experiencing
right now.
Change is a natural part of life and as you breathe, know deep inside of you that you
are capable of navigating this one with grace and ease.
Feel the weight of resistance to change softening as you embrace the reality of the transition
you're experiencing.
This may not be what you expected in your life, but you can navigate this change.
All of those negative feelings or worry or apprehension, whatever you're feeling, any
of that resistance to the change, let it soften as you breathe.
On your next inhale, say to yourself, I trust the process of change.
And on the exhale, I can navigate this change with grace.
Once again, inhaling, I trust the process of change.
Exhaling, I can navigate this change with grace.
Feel the words resonate within you as you breathe.
Let go of the desire to control every outcome, trusting and knowing that you have the strength
and resilience to navigate whatever lies ahead.
Just allow yourself to be and breathe and open your heart to trusting and knowing that
you can navigate this with grace and ease.
Now one more time, tell yourself, I trust the process of change.
I can navigate this change with grace.
Take a big deep breath in through the nose, and open mouth exhale, sigh it out, letting
go.
When you're ready, opening the eyes and closing your meditation practice.
Thank you so much for joining me for this meditation.
