join me as I challenge myself to find
0:02
inner peace and relaxation through a
0:04
guided meditation on December
0:06
21st as we approach the end of the year
0:09
it's natural to feel overwhelmed and
0:11
stressed that's why I want to take a few
0:13
minutes to talk about the importance of
0:16
meditation with all the hustle and
0:18
bustle of the holiday season it's easy
0:20
to get caught up in the chaos and forget
0:22
to take care of ourselves but meditation
0:25
is an incredible tool that can help us
0:27
find calm and Clarity even in the midst
0:31
as we head into December many of us are
0:33
faced with a multitude of
0:35
stressors there's the pressure to host
0:37
the perfect holiday party or find the
0:39
ideal gift for our loved ones there's
0:42
the stress of yearend deadlines at work
0:44
and the anxiety of reflecting on the
0:46
past year and on top of all that there's
0:49
the constant barrage of social media
0:51
reminding us of all the things we
0:53
haven't accomplished it's no wonder we
0:55
often feel like we're drowning in a sea
0:57
of Stress and Anxiety December can be a
1:00
tough month folks it's a time when we're
1:03
forced to confront our shortcomings and
1:05
the things we wish we'd done differently
1:08
it's a time when we're tempted to
1:09
compare ourselves to others and feel
1:11
like we're coming up short but the truth
1:14
is we're all in this together we're all
1:17
struggling to find our way and we're all
1:19
doing the best we can as we navigate the
1:22
challenges of December it's more
1:24
important than ever that we take care of
1:26
ourselves that's where meditation comes
1:28
in by taking taking just a few minutes
1:30
each day to focus on our breath and
1:32
quiet our minds we can find a sense of
1:35
peace and Tranquility that's hard to
1:36
find elsewhere meditation is all about
1:39
technique folks it's about finding a
1:42
comfortable position closing your eyes
1:45
and focusing on your breath it's about
1:47
letting go of distractions and simply
1:49
being present in the moment and it's
1:52
about setting intentions about deciding
1:54
what we want to achieve through our
1:55
meditation practice and what we want to
1:58
let go of in a moment moment I'm going
2:00
to guide you through a meditation
2:02
exercise that will help you find a deep
2:04
sense of inner peace and
2:06
relaxation but before we start take a
2:08
deep breath in and let your eyes gently
2:11
close feel the weight of your seat on
2:13
the chair and The Sensation of the air
2:15
moving in and out of your body allow
2:18
yourself to let go of any tension or
2:19
stress and simply be present in this
2:22
moment imagine yourself standing in a
2:24
peaceful Forest surrounded by towering
2:27
trees that stretch up towards the sky
2:29
feel the soft Earth beneath your feet
2:31
and the gentle rustle of the leaves in
2:33
the breeze as you inhale imagine fresh
2:36
clean air filling your lungs and as you
2:38
exhale imagine any stress or anxiety
2:41
leaving your body as you continue to
2:44
breathe deeply bring to mind an
2:45
intention for your meditation practice
2:48
what do you want to achieve through this
2:50
exercise do you want to let go of stress
2:53
and anxiety or find a sense of calm and
2:55
Clarity take a moment to silently repeat
2:58
your intention to yourself and feel it
3:00
resonating deep within your soul as we
3:03
come to the end of our meditation
3:04
exercise take a moment to notice how
3:06
you're feeling do you feel more relaxed
3:09
more at peace do you feel more connected
3:12
to your body and more grounded in the
3:14
present moment take a deep breath in and
3:17
when you're ready slowly open your eyes
3:20
through regular meditation practice we
3:22
can achieve a sense of calm and Clarity
3:24
that's hard to find elsewhere we can
3:27
reduce our Stress and Anxiety and
3:29
cultivate a greater sense of inner peace
3:32
relaxation so I encourage you to make
3:34
meditation a part of your daily routine
