Guided Meditation for Sadness and Hopelessness 10 Minutes

The intention of this guided meditation is to help you process feelings of sadness and hopelessness. I invite you to be present with whatever decides to show up during practice. This is a difficult thing to do and I'm glad you're here. Choose a comfortable lying down or seated position. You'll be guided through different parts of the body as you breathe gently, practicing a yoga breathing technique called Aharana Pranayama.

I have tears in my eyes from breathing into the different body parts. I am just breathing into it and it is releasing tension. Thank you.

I’m a psychology student, originally was not really interested in meditation or mindfulness as in my cultural context, the practice is always tied to religious practice. Until my professor taught about mindfulness in the lectures, so I learned more aspects of it than ones that I knew and opened up to experience more new mindfulness practices. Today I got triggered by a sad thought, it is a good opportunity to attempt meditation for sadness. I came across your video and it is very helpful. I felt at more ease and my sadness faded into 7 minutes. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

I am not sure if I fell asleep sitting down, or if I was very tuned in. But I feel peaceful after listening.
Thank you ❤

Wow. I want introduced to meditation a year ago and have practiced several times a week with varying success. This has been by far the most effective guided meditation video I’ve watched out of hundreds. From your tone, to the message of this video, language used, approach to regrounding and feeling safe in my body, and the clear sincerity in your voice, I’m so grateful to have found your channel.
