5 Min Meditation for Self Care, Compassion and Kindness

This is a 15 minute meditation that focuses on connecting with gratitude in my series of meditations to avoid emotional overwhelm and anxiety. When current events are upsetting, meditating can calm your mind, quiet racing thoughts, settle anxiety and help you to feel more grounded and centered. Emotions can start to overwhelm. It's important to find calm in the storm. 

A guided meditation that focuses on gratitude and all the good things in your life can help to shift what you see, especially during difficult times and much news is bad. This 15-minute guided meditation focuses on connecting with positive feelings of gratitude and appreciation for those who have supported you specifically and then generally to all the things that we can be grateful for -- all the various elements that make our lives possible. This helps lift your mood and give you energy.

I chose the outer space background because sometimes it helps to take a really big picture view to step back and realize how much we're blessed to be supported by friends, family, community, networks of workers, our ancestors, nature—all the elements that make our very life possible—are things that we can pause to appreciate.

Sometimes, when we face so much negative news, it's hard to find reasons to feel positive and to make time for appreciation of all that is good. But, it's precisely at those times when life is so challenging that it's more important than ever to acknowledge all the good in your life and extend appreciation for all that makes your life possible. Gratitude can be very empowering, particularly when things are difficult.

Meditation practice can also boost happiness and boost immunity. Studies show that people who practice meditation are less likely to get sick and if they become sick, tend to be sicker for shorter times. Enjoy this loving awareness guided meditation for mindfulness.
