This guided meditation weaves together mindfulness, breathwork, healing visualization, and mantra, inviting you to soften, slow down, and reconnect to the self and the moment.

You can follow each cue or simply sit and listen. This space is here for you. Let the words, breath, and stillness meet you as you are.

For the rest of the day, when you notice an intense emotion, thought, mood, memory, or other mental phenomena, take one mindful breath.

That is a long, slow, deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Then recognise that you are, at any time, free to make a different decision should you choose to do so. Give it a try.

This is a five-minute box breathing guided meditation for anxiety relief. Use this practice in response to stressful events, to calm down after exercise, as a lead into a meditation session, and as a sleep aid.

By slowing down and controlling the breath - breathing in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4 - This practice triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting anxiety relief, relaxation, and performance enhancement.
