Welcome to Meditation for Anxiety. I'm Katie Kramitzos. I'm the creator of the Women's Meditation Network and your guide here. I am so grateful you've taken the time to be here with me right now. This episode is made possible thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. And after a message from them, we'll begin today's episode.

One of the most common comments I get about how meditation has helped our listeners is that it helps you feel calm and clear. Ever wish you could bottle that feeling? Well, Feel Free has done just that. Feel Free is a plant-based supplement primarily made with kava root from the South Pacific, known for its calming properties that promote relaxation and clarity. Even better, it also includes a small amount of leaf kratom, a caffeine-free plant that gently boosts energy and enhances focus.

Feel Free keeps leaf kratom in its natural state without enhancing it, ensuring you experience its benefits traditionally. Each serving is a half a bottle, which I have found to be just the right amount for the perfect little lift. I enjoy it most during the transition from work life to mom life. I just bring my little Feel Free tonic with me on my way to pick up my kids in the afternoon. It makes me feel relaxed and present and good.

Bye.

Good morning, beautiful. Thank you so much for being here with me. Close your eyes now and breathe slow, letting your breath settle you into this moment. Now, imagine that you're standing at the edge of a beautiful garden.

This garden is yours, grown and nurtured by your experiences, your resilience, your journey. As you step into the garden, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, the gentle breeze rushing past your face. Each plant you see represents a moment of growth, a challenge you face and overcome. Walk slowly through this space and acknowledge the strength it took to cultivate each part.

The tall, sturdy tree before you, that is your perseverance. Standing strong through every storm. You may bend, but you don't break. There's a delicate flower blooming nearby. A symbol of your self-compassion. Your ability to find softness in hard times. With every step, you reflect on how far you've come. You reflect on the lessons learned.

and then look back upon your entire garden and see its beauty. Take a moment to honor yourself for tending to this garden, for continuing to grow. No matter what life has brought your way, even through the hardest seasons, you have flourished. You've created beauty out of struggle. With each breath, feel gratitude for your past, for every step that has brought you here.

to this place of strength and wisdom. Take one last look at the garden, knowing that it's always growing and so are you. Namaste. Beautiful.
