Inner Strength Meditations
Tune into who brings joy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This meditation guides you to recognizing positive signals that attract you to spend time with people who support your wellbeing. A grounding practice for self-awareness and growth.
Why this helps? Tuning into positive signals helps you make choices that support healthy growth and connection.
Arrival And Posture
SPEAKER_00Welcome to Inner Strength Meditations. Let's take a moment.
SPEAKER_01Begin by finding your best mindfulness posture. Plant both feet on the ground, allowing your hands to rest anywhere that is comfortable for you.
Breath And Body Grounding
SPEAKER_01We will begin with a deep, full inhale through our nose, and a slow, steady exhale through our mouth. Notice the solidness of the floor beneath your feet and the chair supporting you. Feel gravity's gentle pull into your chair. When we feel uncertain, we can always connect to the surface beneath us to feel steady.
Sensing Joy In The Body
SPEAKER_01Take a moment to think of something that makes you smile. It could be an activity, place, even a pet. Notice what it feels like to rest your attention on something that brings you joy.
SPEAKER_02Where do you feel happiness in your body?
SPEAKER_01Does your heart warm? Do you feel light or grounded? Does your breath move slowly or quicken?
SPEAKER_02Notice what the smile and small joy feels like for you.
Counting Breath Practice
SPEAKER_01When we can identify what positivity feels like for us, we can better choose activities, places, and friends that guide us towards positive growth. Take a few more moments to think of something that makes you smile and simply observe what tiny signals happen in your body. If you like, you can place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly to connect with your breath and body a little bit more.
SPEAKER_02Inhale through your nose, one, two, three, exhale through your mouth, one, two, three, four. Inhale one, two, three. Exhale one, two, three, four. Inhale one, two, three, exhale one, two, three, four. Continue a few more times at your own pace.
Gentle Return And Closing
SPEAKER_02You can return to your natural breath.
SPEAKER_01Take a moment to press your feet into the floor. Maybe wiggle your toes or roll your neck. As you're ready, you can blink your eyes open if they were closed. Thank you for taking time to connect with yourself today and practice mindfulness.
SPEAKER_00You can stay here as long as you'd like, or move on when you're ready.
