Meditation Script:

Position your body in a way that feels relaxed and supported. As you begin to soften

tension, taking deep breaths in and out through your nose, bring attention to

anything in your physical, mental, or emotional space that feels heavy. What

weight are you carrying in this moment? Notice any ruminating thoughts. What is

difficult to let go? Aware of tension, allow yourself to feel whatever arrives.

Allow the heaviness, the tension, the weight. Now, inhaling, fill your belly up

with breath, feeling the expanse through your front and back ribs. Exhaling, feel

your belly pull gently in, the muscles along your ribs soften to center. Deep

breath in, notice what you are carrying—the weight of your past, fears for the future,

present pain. Deep breath out, allow whatever weight you hold to release. Perhaps,

bringing to mind the image of a balloon with a string. Inhaling to notice the

string you are holding, exhaling to release your grip and, in this moment, let

that balloon go.

Here, repeat gently to yourself, “Re lease. Re lease. Re lease.” Deep breath in through your

nose, open mouth exhale. Inhale, sigh it out. Inhale, then repeat again, “Re

lease. Re lease. Re lease.” Give yourself permission to let go of any weight

that holds you back from greater peace and joy. Inhale, open mouth exhale.

Inhale, sigh it out. Inhale, once more repeat, “Re lease. Re lease. Re lease.”

Move through your day or into rest with a sense of lightness, embracing calm with every

breath out. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
