1. Self-Healing Guided Meditation- 30 minutes

Problems are a part of every person’s life, and there are many forms to the problems faced by each person on this planet, according to their situation. Without diving too much into some cinematic script, let me introduce you to self-healing guided meditation! If you have been experiencing some sort of chronic pain, ailment or any other type of medical condition, then you can use self-healing guided meditation to a good extent for improving your confidence in terms of the body as well as mind. The impact of chronic conditions, especially stress and anxiety, as well as medical conditions such as surgeries or accidents on the victim’s psyche, is blatantly evident. People with such conditions are generally restricted to specific routines and limitations on their normal way of living. The time of inactivity is the foremost harboring place for negative thoughts and sitting idly for days or even months could have some serious implications on your mental health. So, what we have to do is counterpart the negativity with this simple guided self-healing meditation to ignite your mindfulness. Now, just make sure that you have your phone and gadgets turned off, get a straight-backed chair and dim the lights. We are now ready to start the self-healing guided meditation.

Sit back on your straight-backed chair…keep your head forward…the knees at a slightly comfortable right able and your hands on your thighs. Not comfortable! Try sitting with your legs crossed or sleeping with your back on the floor. Take a moment to settle in and calm down. Close your eyes now. Your pain may hold you back. Kick it back. Take charge of the moment. Let the feeling of utter darkness take its time to build around you. Familiarize with it. Don’t panic when you feel distractions passing by. The temptation to open your eyes is very pleasing. It would be best not to.

Take a deep breath and let it go…slowly with every gush of air you take in…focus on the flow of the air in and out of your body. Let this continue and pace your mind with the flow of your breathing. You can now visualize the flow of air in and out of your body as a thin line in the blank space around you. The thin line is flowing through a blank void…illuminating it…a calming sensation…a realization…your life…flowing in and out of your body. Breathe deeper and continue repeating with your attention to the flow of your breath. You can slowly feel the bright line in your darkness getting bigger. It brings hope with it. Trust the universe…let it tell the story you haven’t heard in a long time…listen to the silence and follow the light. A surreal experience builds up on one side…keep your attention on the light of life…think how it affects you…your surroundings…your home…your health. Take your time. Now, you find the connections that your life has with everything around you…your work…your attire…your body…your future…your family…your world! Float around on the path lightened up by your new discovery of life and explore the possibilities you can have beyond all the things that are holding you back. Let go of the pain…let go of the hurt…let go of the negativity…and find your new self. You are better, and you are stronger. You are as calm as you could have ever been, and you feel a new sensation of positivity.

Settle down easily and then open your eyes slowly. Sit calmly at the same place for a few minutes more. This is the perfect time for you to look back at your observations from the meditation you did. As you slowly recollect the thoughts and reflections in your mind during the meditation, you can find a sense of discovering a new world of possibilities that can change your life for the better. The confidence is the foundation that you can build your healing journey on. The life flow going in and out of our body creates a unique rhythm that beats with your efforts and the zeal to live life to the fullest. Build up the confidence and let your awareness guide you through each and every area of your life. Don’t restrain…don’t hold back…the outcomes may not be quick…but you can surely make an effort to take your life ahead towards betterment by healing your body and your spirit. The strength of your mind reflects directly on your body. As you gain new perspectives after the self-healing guided meditation, there would be little room for negative thoughts in your mind. Use your newfound perspectives for shaping up your life in the way you want.

2. Stress Relieving Guided Meditation- 30 minutes

Among the many vices that trouble almost every other individual on this planet, stress would definitely come out at the topmost position. The changing lifestyles and continuously changing social landscapes create very new yet disruptive scenarios for many people. For example, record labels are a thing of the past now with digital music streaming services on the rise. However, that is not necessarily stressful, is it? Well, ask someone in their 70s to use the iPod, and they could have a difficult and stressful time in figuring out their way through iTunes, before eventually making it there. The point here is that you are bound to encounter many stressful scenarios in every day of your life. Your job is to overcome the stress and discover new paths that could help you uncover ways to deal with the stress. Guided meditation is a proven alternative for reducing stress levels. You only need to know the right steps and the right guidance for relieving your stress through mindfulness meditation. One of the important things that you have to keep in mind for stress relieving guided meditation is the necessity of constant practice. Now, it’s time to let out stress from your minds with a rightly paced mindfulness meditation exercise.

Find a comfortable chair or clean floors…sit according to your comfort level. If you are sitting on the floor, then sit cross-legged. Many people prefer sitting cross-legged on the ground for meditation. So, it’s all up to you. Make sure that your back is straight and you are comfortable enough with a posture for longer periods of time. Try keeping your back straight, as it would be really helpful for our 30-minute long meditation session. Start with this in your mind, and you would gradually feel comfortable in the posture. Do not let your shoulders slump…keep them upright throughout the meditation to keep your back straight. The straight back could also prevent soreness resulting from long hours of meditations. If you are sitting on a chair, then sit a little bit forward on the chair with your feet firmly in the ground. This way, you can have a better posture for stress relieving meditation while also helping you concentrate better on your practice. With all of these in place and you having been seated in a comfortable position, let’s start meditating to take all of your stress
