Guided Meditation Script for Therapists:

First finding a comfortable sitting or lying position. Allow your body to settle into this position, letting go of any lingering tension. Let your hands rest softly, either in your lap or by your sides, and allow your fingers to relax. Close your eyes gently, or if it’s more comfortable, softly focus your gaze downward. Take a moment to check in with yourself, noticing how you feel in this present moment. Acknowledge anything that might be on your mind, but for now, set it aside as you create space for stillness.

Now, begin to shift your focus inward. Notice where your body is making contact with the surface beneath you—whether it’s the chair, the floor, or the bed. Let that connection remind you that you are fully supported in this moment, held by the earth beneath you. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely, allowing the air to expand into your belly. Hold it for a moment at the top of the breath, and then exhale gently through your mouth, releasing any tension or heaviness. With each exhale, feel yourself sinking deeper into relaxation.

Again, breathe in deeply, feeling your chest expand, and hold for just a moment. As you exhale, imagine the air carrying away any stress or worries. With every breath, you are moving closer to stillness and peace. Let each inhale bring fresh energy and each exhale carry away anything that no longer serves you. Allow your breath to settle into a natural rhythm, peaceful and effortless.

Now, let’s bring your awareness to the body. Start by noticing the top of your head. Gently scan down from the crown, slowly noticing any tightness or discomfort. With each breath, allow any tension in the head to release. Let your forehead smooth out, your eyebrows soften, and your eyes rest peacefully. As you focus on the muscles around your eyes, imagine them softening, becoming loose and relaxed. With every breath, feel the muscles around your eyes becoming more and more relaxed, letting go of any strain.

Next, move your awareness downward, toward your cheeks, your jaw, and your lips. If you notice that your jaw is clenched, gently part your teeth and allow your jaw to relax. With each inhale, soften these areas. With every exhale, release any tightness, and feel your face become smooth and peaceful. Now, let your awareness flow down into your neck and shoulders. These are areas where we often hold the most tension. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your shoulders to release, melting further away from your ears. Let the weight of the day simply drift away.

Feel the muscles in your arms relax, your elbows softening, your wrists and fingers becoming loose and still. Allow your arms to feel supported by the surface beneath them, heavy with relaxation. Now, shift your focus to your chest. Feel the rise and fall of your breath as it flows in and out, nourishing your body with each inhalation. Let each exhalation create space for more calmness and stillness within.

Move your awareness to your heart center, where the rhythm of your heart beats steadily. Place your hand over your heart if that feels comforting, and take a moment to simply acknowledge any emotions or thoughts that might arise. There’s no need to judge or analyze them—just notice them without attachment. Breathe into your heart center, allowing love, peace, and compassion to flow into this space.

Now, bring your focus to your abdomen and belly. Feel the gentle movement of your breath, soft and steady. Let your belly rise and fall effortlessly with each breath. With every inhale, allow your belly to expand fully. And with each exhale, soften and release any tightness or tension you may be holding in this area. Allow the breath to cleanse and calm this part of your body.

Feel your lower back resting against the surface beneath you, supported and safe. Let your hips soften and release any tension in your thighs and legs. With each exhale, feel your legs growing heavier, sinking deeper into the support beneath you. Allow any lingering tension in your hips or thighs to melt away as you relax further into the surface below.

Now, bring your awareness all the way down to your knees, your calves, your ankles, and finally your feet. Feel the energy of the earth beneath you, grounding and supporting you. Visualize roots extending from the soles of your feet, reaching deep into the earth below. Feel the strength and stability of the earth as it holds you, grounding you in this present moment.

Now that your entire body is deeply relaxed, let’s return to your breath. Feel the rhythm of your breath again, steady and calm. With each inhale, feel your body becoming lighter, more at ease. With each exhale, feel yourself sinking deeper into a state of calm and relaxation. If your mind begins to wander, that’s okay. Simply notice where it went, acknowledge it without judgment, and gently bring your focus back to your breath.

Now, let’s introduce a grounding affirmation to deepen your connection to the present moment. Silently or aloud, repeat after me: “I am safe. I am present. I am grounded.” Breathe in, and say, “I am safe.” Breathe out, and say, “I am present.” Breathe in again, and say, “I am grounded.” Allow these words to settle deeply into your mind, like gentle ripples spreading across the surface of a calm lake. With each repetition, feel their truth seep into your being. Continue repeating these words at your own pace, letting them resonate in your body.

Take a few moments to rest in this space, feeling the deep peace within you. Trust that this stillness is always available to you—whenever you need to return to it, it is within reach.

Now, begin to bring your awareness back to the space around you. Notice the sensations of the air on your skin, the sounds in the room, the gentle hum of your surroundings. Begin to move your fingers and toes, slowly waking your body back up. Roll your shoulders gently, and stretch your neck. Allow your body to reawaken gradually.

When you feel ready, take a final deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely, and exhale fully through your mouth. Then, gently open your eyes, returning to the space around you. Take a moment to notice how you feel now—calm, supported, peaceful, and connected to yourself.

You’ve done something kind and nourishing for your body and mind today. Carry this peace with you as you continue with your day, knowing that you can return to this stillness whenever you need. Feel the warmth and safety of this moment, and take it with you into the world.
