Hello and welcome, beautiful. I’m Katie Krimitsos and I’m so grateful you’re here with me today.

The thoughts keep coming...raining down on you and soaking you in worry, one small drop at a time.

Anxiety comes upon you as you replay scenes of “what ifs” and worst case scenarios in your mind.

You are soaked in worry.

And no matter how legitimate your concerns are, the stress and anxiety that is caused stops you from living a vibrant, joyful life.

You will not find answers in worry. You will not find possibilities.

So you must practice stopping the cycle of worrying so you can find the solutions and the peace you crave.

So the intention of today’s meditation is to help you disengage from the thoughts that are causing you so much worry, so you can feel happy and peaceful.

***

Go ahead and take a deep breath in…

Closing your eyes and seeing the air flow into your belly

And breathe all that air out.

One more deep breath in…

And exhale all the way out.

Now bring your breath to its normal rhythm

And just be here for a bit.

Concentrating on your breath

Feeling the cool air on your nose as you breathe in

And the warm air as you breathe out

PAUSE

Relax your shoulders...bring them down away from your ears

Relax your jaw, the muscles in your face, your stomach, your hands, your legs, your feet.

PAUSE

I want you to imagine you are sitting in front of a table.

On the right side of the table is a big empty box.

And on the left side of the table are scattered pieces of paper.

These pieces of paper are your worries.

You pick up one of the pieces of paper to look at it.

It’s a thought you’ve been having lately that fuels your worry.

“What if _______ happens?”

See yourself closing your eyes as you hold that paper and take a deep, releasing breath out.

And place that piece of paper in the box.

Then, pick up another piece of paper from the table.

It’s another thought…another “what if?”

Close your eyes and take another deep, releasing breath.

And place that piece of paper in the box.

Repeat this for the rest of the pieces of paper that remain on the table…

Identifying them as a part of your worry, and then placing them in the box.

LONG PAUSE

The box is now the only thing that remains on the table.

It’s full of your worries and as you pick it up, you notice how heavy it is.

Bring your box over to the corner of the room.

Here, there is a fireplace filled with a blazing fire.

Take your box and place it on top of the flames.

Watching as the fire completely dissolves each of your worries...until all that remains is ash.

PAUSE

Now take a deep, cleansing breath in

And exhale all the way out.

Namaste, beautiful.
