Welcome to this eight minute, guided meditation to dissolve your anxiety.
For best results, listen in a comfortable and quiet place.
My name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body Language Guy, and this guided meditation will
help you address your emotions and ultimately regulate your body language expression and
state of mind.
Let's begin.
One common source of anxiety is uncertainty.
Not knowing what is going to happen next.
It may be next year, or next week; when you focus on a future that remains invisible to
you... you worry.
You worry because you don't know how to prepare for what's going to happen.
But how can one worry for something that hasn't happened yet?
Surprisingly, this is really common.
We spend hours pondering about the future.
Thinking about our plans.
The worst case scenario.
The mandatory countermeasures for events that have not materialized.
It IS important to set goals.
Goals to achieve with effort and planning.
Visualize our desired outcome.
But spending too much time in trying to predict what is going to happen tomorrow, can drive
anyone insane.
That's why we are going to reframe your concept of the future.
But first, you need to relax.
You need to realize that at this moment, at this very instant, nothing can harm you.
There is absolutely no direct threat on you.
Everything that disturbs you lies in the future.
In a time that has not yet happened.
Close your eyes, slowly.
Take a slow, deep breath.
The kind of breath that you take when you're inspired by something beautiful.
Now focus on the muscles of your forehead... and silently, allow them to relax.
Take another deep breath.
Wonderful.
Now focus on the muscles of your jaw.
Allow them to relax.
Allow them to let go of any tension.
Visualize how that tension leaves all the muscles of your face... and begins to leave
the muscles of your neck, too.
You feel that stress, you feel that anticipation, you feel that tension leaving your body.
From your neck, your chest, your abdomen, and your legs.
Even your hands feel relieved and finally free.
This is your space, this is your time.
Give yourself the gift of the now.
Give yourself the luxury of another deep breath.
Now you're going to use your mind's eye.
You're on a beautiful and peaceful beach.
Choose if you want to sit on the sand, or on a towel, or a comfortable chair.
It's your choice.
I'm right here by your side.
We both can feel a gentle breeze.
The sun... is not too hot.
The sea has all the shades of blue and green, dancing, mixing, playing with the foam in
the fascinating rhythm of the waves.
You take another deep breath, but this time it feels different.
You feel your chest, You feel your whole body filling with peace.
You wonder, what is this place?
And I just answer: a place without time.
Ironically, the perfect place to talk about the future.
You see, the future is often related to unCERtainty.
And I have to acknowledge that this word is quite accurate.
What is not yet written, we can't be certain of.
But the problem is that the word "unCERtainty", has a... not so good reputation.
It is usually related to anxiety, and that's exactly what we want to address here.
Here, in this beautiful beach outside of time.
All we have to do is to make a switch.
A switch between two words.
You can see that the word "future" is written in the dry sand.
And next to it, the word "unCERtainty" on the wet sand.
The waves of salty water, come and go.
For a moment, they seem to back into the ocean.
And then, they come with full force erasing the word "unCERtainty".
You can almost hear the foam on the surface, making a subtle change.
The water goes away and leaves seaweed behind.
And the seaweed forms a word.
You read it aloud.
"Possibilities"
I smile and repeat after you.
"Yes.
Possibilities".
That's all the switch you have to make.
We remain silent for a moment, and then the water comes again.
The blue, the green, the white foam, the sun reflected on the surface.
In seconds, the seaweed is gone.
All we have left, is the word "future".
But now you know what it really means.
Say the true meaning, the word that was written with seaweed, with your mind.
That's correct.
Possibilities are endless.
And they respond to only one thing: Your actions.
Not your thoughts, not your plans, but your actions.
And your actions will always happen in the now.
The past are actions already cristallized.
Lessons learned.
Roads traveled.
Dances in the rain.
Moonlight tears.
The future? the future contains everything.
Including a version of yourself that you're going to meet one day.
One possibility.
But there's not just one.
There are hundreds.
Thousands.
Millions of versions of yourself.
But this particular one is at peace.
Is blissful.
Is wealthy.
Is loved.
Is free.
And it's calling you silently accross this dimension that defies your perception of time.
You feel a silent embrace from this possibility.
From your future self.
And they whisper to you: You already made it.
You already are.
Allow yourself to release your emotions of this moment.
If you want to smile, you can smile.
If you want to cry, you can cry.
Just realize that the future holds all the possibilities you could want.
And there is one waiting patiently and lovingly for you.
All you have to do... is act.
Take another deep breath.
I'm going to count backwards from five.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Open your eyes.
You still feel the peace of being outside time.
This is how reality feels when you let go of the constant thinking of what could happen
tomorrow.
Savor this timeless moment.
And realize that life is timeless.
Our meditation session has finished for today.
I'm going to ask you for just two things.
Any feedback in the comments would be greatly appreciated.
And sharing this with someone that you believe would need it, will also help us all.
Until we meet again, my friend.
Much Love, and Bliss.
