Let’s get started.

Guided Meditation for Releasing Negative Thoughts:

Take a deep breath in, and slowly breathe out. Feel the cool air entering your body and the warm air leaving. Again, inhale deeply through your nose, filling your lungs with life, and exhale gently through your mouth, releasing all tension.

Let your eyes gently close and feel your body begin to settle into the space around you. With each breath, allow yourself to become more grounded, more present, and more still. Let the weight of the day begin to melt away as you focus on your breath, grounding you to the present moment.

Now, bring your attention to your mind. Just notice the thoughts that are there, without any judgment or attachment. You don’t need to chase them away or analyze them—simply observe them, like watching clouds drift across the sky. These thoughts may be fleeting, but they are a natural part of your experience. Allow them to pass by, just as leaves float gently down a stream.

If a negative thought comes up—perhaps a worry, a fear, or a lingering frustration—gently label it, “Thinking…” and acknowledge it without resistance. Recognize that these thoughts do not define you. They are simply thoughts. And just like the leaves in the stream, they will pass. Let them go, and return your focus to your breath.

Inhale deeply, and as you do, imagine that you are breathing in peace and calm. Exhale slowly, releasing any negativity or stress with each breath out. Feel the breath as your anchor, drawing you back to the present moment whenever your mind begins to wander.

There is no need to fix or control anything—simply observe. No need to judge yourself for having these thoughts. You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness behind them.

If a difficult or repetitive thought comes up, try saying silently to yourself, “This is just a thought. It does not define me. It has no power over me.” Picture that thought dissolving into the air, like mist dissipating in the morning sun. Let it drift away, and with each exhale, feel it growing lighter and lighter, until it is gone. Release the need to hold on to it.

Now, gently shift your focus to your heart. Imagine your breath flowing into this space, filling your chest with warmth, light, and peace. Allow this light to expand, gently softening your heart, easing any tightness or heaviness.

With each breath, feel your heart becoming lighter and more open. Say to yourself quietly, “I am not my thoughts. I am the awareness behind them. I release what no longer serves me.”

Feel the light of your awareness growing within you, calming your mind and soothing your body. Your breath is like a wave, gently washing away any tension, creating space for peace to settle in.

Allow yourself to soften with each breath, releasing the need to hold on to anything that does not serve your well-being. Allow yourself to be free of the weight of negative thoughts, knowing that you are always supported by the present moment.

Now, take a moment to simply be. You don’t need to do anything right now. You are enough, just as you are. With each inhale, imagine drawing in more calm and peace.

With each exhale, let go of anything that no longer serves you—negative thoughts, judgments, worries, fears. Let them go, and feel the space opening up inside you. You are becoming lighter, more peaceful with every breath.

Take a few more deep, cleansing breaths, and when you’re ready, gently bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Begin to notice the sensations in your body—how your fingers and toes feel.

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes, and notice how the energy in your body feels more balanced and at ease. When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, bringing the calm and peace with you.

Carry this sense of peace with you as you move through your day. Know that you can return to this space of calm whenever you need to. Your breath is always here, your awareness is always here, and in this presence, there is peace. You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness behind them, and you have the power to release what no longer serves you.

Take one more deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel gratitude for this moment of stillness. You are grounded, you are peaceful, and you are whole. Namaste.
