Welcome to this short meditation for nausea relief. Get yourself into a comfortable position
staying nice and still.
And before we get started I want you to know about a couple of pressure points
that can help you today.
On the very middle of the inside of your wrist place the pads of your three middle fingers
down along the inside of your wrist in between the two tendons.
Follow the line down from your wrist three finger widths
and once you find the spot press firmly for a minute.
While you're doing that either close your eyes or just lower your gaze.
Take a deep breath in
and let your breath out slowly and evenly.
Just being here pressing that pressure point.
And on your next breath make the exhalation a little longer than you normally would.
When you breathe out a few counts longer than when you breathe in
you're sending a signal to your brain that all is well.
Now go back to your normal breathing. Not too fast, not too slow,
just your own Goldilocks rhythm.
Now let's try another pressure point.
With your palm facing up locate the area just under the top crease of your ring finger.
Right in the middle of the finger but close to the crease
and again press for a minute while focusing on slow, even breathing.
So breathe in and breathe out as slowly and evenly as possible.
And just be present,
be here in the moment.
I'll let you know when a minute is up.
Feeling calmer now
Feeling more in control.
Tapping into your imagination can help your body feel better.
And we're about to use some guided imagery that'll make you feel better.
I want you to imagine yourself as a lighthouse.
And take a moment to think about what kind of lighthouse you'll be.
Where are you located?
Picture yourself as this lighthouse in a unique healing place
far away from others.
In a natural place of beauty.
Imagine your body as the lighthouse vertical and powerful.
Feel yourself rooted down into the firm ground beneath you
solid
dependable
unshakeable
Feel that solid ground underneath your body right now.
And even if you are perched on a remote rocky blustery cliff you remain unwavering.
Your foundations are rooted so deep into the earth
that you remain still even in the strongest of storms.
On days that the wind howls around you and the noise ricochets around the cracks in the rocks
you remain calm and steady. Your beacon of light guiding others to safety.
Take this time to notice and enjoy the surroundings of this healing place.
Become aware of the guiding light emanating from you and protecting both yourself and others.
Imagine being comforted by the warm healing light.
It's like a shield supporting you and your health and it bats away anything harmful.
Sense this shield around you like a bubble of protective light.
When you are ready begin to let your awareness carry you towards this current time.
Leaving behind your healing sanctuary for a moment
but knowing that you retain the healing light with you at all times for protection.
Let's move your attention on listening for sounds.
Start as close to yourself as you can get.
What are the sounds within 10 centimeters around your own skin?
It might only be the sound of your breath.
Listen to the sound of your own breath.
Notice qualities of the sound, the tone, the volume, the rhythm.
Now let's expand the listening area a little farther out and focus on hearing any movement,
any sound that's happening within 10 paces, 10 steps around you in any direction.
What do you hear moving?
No need to react to any of these sounds or get carried away with the stories behind the noise,
just hear it.
Now expand your field of awareness to other sounds further away from you
but still within your building.
Now if it's very quiet and you don't think you can hear anything
challenge yourself to pay attention to subtle sounds.
There's no right or wrong way to do this, everyone in the world has a different way of hearing.
And after you have thoroughly explored the sounds in your building
you can expand your awareness to include sounds outside.
Now allow yourself to rest for a few more moments before you continue with your day.
Take some slow deep breaths allowing the exhale to be longer.
When you are ready, open your eyes.
Thank you for meditating today with Generation Calm.
