Get yourself into a comfortable position either sitting or lying down and close
your eyes. This guided meditation is for releasing the anxiety you feel in your
stomach.
Let your body settle as you slow down. There's nowhere else you need to be just
give yourself permission to be right here.
Fully release your muscles as you slow down your breath.
Feel your entire body soften as you breathe in and out.
Feel your sit bones grounding down into the earth.
When you worry you can get stuck and when you worry your digestive system can
get stuck too.
Anxiety can switch off your digestive system for a short time and like a
factory that stops working for a while there's a backlog when things get
switched back on again. It takes a while for things to balance out and get back
on track.
So let's focus on helping your stomach to relax now. Taking a long slow breath
through the nose and let it out through the mouth. This is the natural way to
calm your body. Breathe in for four counts and out for at least six counts.
Merely slowing down your breath sends a signal to your digestive system that
everything is okay.
Now allow your breath to fall into a natural rhythm.
Imagine a long string starting from the top of your head all the way down
through your spine and down deep into the ground. This is your grounding cord.
It allows you to receive all the goodness from the universe through the
top of your head and release any tension through the bottom of the cord to be
absorbed into the earth. Just take a moment to allow the input and output
through that cord, going from the top of your head flowing down into the ground.
Much like your digestive system this cord lets you take the good nutrients
from the universe while allowing toxins and anything not used by you into the
ground.
Imagine that cord becoming a bright light shining. The light can be any color
you want it to be.
Allow it to shine bright as you receive good from the universe and release
anything you don't need back into the ground.
Your digestive system starts to feel lighter ... feeling looser ... letting go of the
past ...releasing what no longer serves you...
creating space...
letting go of guilt.
Now that cord has room for the communication to go both ways so that
you can also absorb the goodness from the earth like the roots of a plant and
allow yourself to release your own good into the universe.
Things like appreciation for others, joy, the service you do for others and courage.
By releasing it into the universe you can help others receive joy and thanks
and courage when they need it. Allow this chord of communication to be open, open
to receiving to choose what you take on and to be generous in releasing.
Feel the input and output of your energies mixing around this cord. So
much goodness you can't keep it all in.
Notice as the cord becomes brighter and brighter. It shines light on your
torso. Everything this light touches becomes looser, more relaxed. Feel
yourself letting go of the grip on your stomach muscles and let the light shine
on your digestive system.
Glowing brighter and brighter.
It shines on your entire middle from your pelvis all the way up to your chest
cavity.
There is so much love here, so much goodness.
Healing not only you but those around you. Feel the warmth in your body from
this light as it glows. Feel a softness in your belly, a gentleness, it is safe to
let go. You lovingly release the past feeling at peace with yourself.
The more resentment you release the more goodness you can release into the world too.
Your body needs this balance of intake, absorption and elimination. Learn to
trust that life will always bring you what you need. There's no need to hang on
so tightly.
You can let go. Let your muscles go loose.
There is time for everything that you need to do.
I freely and easily let go of the old and welcome the new into my life.
I feel able to let go of whatever I no longer need.
I welcome guidance and support from the universe.
Feeling completely safe, feeling healthy feeling calm. Take a few more slow
breaths in through your nose and out through the nose.
Keeping your breathing natural. Carry on relaxing like that and when you are
ready open your eyes and slowly return to your day.
You should then feel refreshed, in control and calm.
