Hello my darlings and welcome. This video is part of an anti anxiety Magic and Meditation series In
this video I am going to share a stress relieving guided meditation. Let’s do some Magical Crafting
This series of videos also includes a video on making an
anti-anxiety spell bag and a video on making a stress relieving amulet necklace
and herbal infusion. I will put links to those videos below.
Guided meditation and visualization is one way to relax when you are feeling anxious or stressed.
I have found it to be a good way to combat worry. Take a moment with me
now to ground yourself and release any worries or anxiety you are holding onto.
Put your body into a relaxed and comfortable position.
And please do not attempt this visualization while driving.
Begin by drawing your attention to your breathing. Focus on your inward breath
and your outward breath. Everyone breathes at a different rhythm.
There is no need to match your breath to any particular rhythm.
As you breathe in, feel fresh energy filled with vitality being drawn into your body.
With each exhalation, release a portion of your worry and stress.
Feel yourself become more confident with each breath in, as you fill yourself with energy.
Feel the stress slip away as you exhale and release all anxiety.
As you exhale, relax your jaw and your shoulders.
Let them release and drop further with each outward breath.
As you exhale, close your eyes and relax the muscles of your face.
Stretch your neck to the left and to the right. Relax your hands and rest them comfortably.
As you breathe in, bring your shoulders up, back and down to open your heart.
Imagine yourself standing in nature by a calm pool of water. Surrounded by tall trees.
The scent of evergreen and pine fills the air around you.
Crisp and clean in your lungs. Erasing outside worries with each breath you take.
Imagine your bare feet on the soft earth, warmed by the sun. You feel grounded in the rich soil.
You draw upon the grounding energy beneath your feet and you feel supported, cherished
and loved. You know the earth will guide you and surround you with protective energy
You spend some time by the calm pool of water. You look at the beauty of its glassy surface.
And you enjoy the gentle sounds of water lapping.
A fish breaks the surface of the water,
causing gentle, hypnotizing ripples to cascade slowly toward you.
You can spend as much time as you like by this small lake.
You do not feel rushed, instead you feel perfectly calm and unhurried.
Eventually you notice a foot path has appeared. It leads into the trees.
It is safe and welcoming. You know this is the path you should take. Your mind feels clear and
decisions are easy to make. You trust your inner voice, knowing what is right for you.
You begin to walk down the footpath. Your breath begins to deepen.
The path is easy to navigate and your attention is drawn to the beauty of the forest.
As the stress of the day begins to fall away you can notice all of the beauty around you.
You hear birdsong in the trees. A beam of dappled sunlight falls across your face.
This place is magical.
All of your concerns are far behind you. This is a place where worries can not touch you.
The footpath opens out onto a beautiful glade, filled with warm soft grass. As you sit in the
grass you feel the last remnants of stress float away from you on a gentle warm breeze.
You are perfectly content. You are relaxed and at ease.
And now you notice that the small woodland animals that live in this place have come to visit.
The wildlife is abundant and each animal and bird is at ease around you.
They only wish to spend time with you and give you affection and share their magic.
You can stay in this place for a long as you like. This place, with the still pond
and the beautiful footpath and the warm glade, is your special place.
You can come here as often as you want. This is where you can recharge your batteries.
Slowly, bring your breath back to its regular cycle. Let the image of this special place begin
to fade from your mind’s eye. Before it fades completely, remind yourself
that every time you take a moment to breathe in positive energy and exhale
your worry and stress, you bring yourself back to this place. If only for a momentary visit.
As you move through the day ahead, allow the calm of the water to relax you,
and the energy of the earth to support you and the beauty of nature to inspire you.
Bring these images to mind whenever you face moments of stress or anxiety.
