Balloon Release Meditation | For Dementia Carers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Balloon Release Meditation is a gentle guided practice for unpaid carers, designed to help you release stress and tension gradually and effortlessly.
Using the imagery of balloons being released one by one, this meditation supports both physical and emotional letting go — without pressure, analysis, or expectation. Especially helpful for carers supporting someone living with dementia who have been holding too much for too long.
Find a comfortable position, press play, and allow yourself to feel lighter with each breath.
Suitable for anyone supporting someone living with dementia, whether at home or in a professional care role.
