Hi Wellness Warriors . Welcome back to another episode of the Wellness Insp inspired podcast , a place where you can find inspiration , motivation and empowerment in the pursuit of a wellness lifestyle . I'm your host , sherry Davidson . I'm a wellness coach , acupuncturist , trail runner and former interior designer in Houston , texas , and I am deeply passionate about health and wellbeing . And , as always , I'm here with my co-host , finn . And if you're new to the podcast , vin is my Terrier , mix Rescue Dog , trail runner and loyal companion . He is also a therapy dog and greeter at Element 5 , acupuncture and Wellness .
Speaker 1And today I am calmly excited because I have a special Thanksgiving episode for you . It's also my gift to you and a thank you to you . We're hitting pause to reflect and tap into the power of gratitude Now . We all know how easy it is to get caught up in the busyness of life , right , but today I want to invite you to take a moment for stillness . I'll be guiding you through a short calming meditation that will help you reconnect with what truly matters your health , your peace and your ability to just be present . So , whether you're a seasoned meditator or totally new to the practice , this episode is for anyone who wants to bring a little more calm and gratitude into their holiday season . Okay , so find a comfortable spot , breathe deeply and let's get started . Welcome to the special Thanksgiving meditation episode . I am so glad you're here .
Speaker 1Take a moment to settle into a comfortable position , whether you're sitting or lying down . Find a place where you can feel fully supported . Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and gently exhale . Allow your body to relax and soften . Feel the weight of your body grounded and supported by the surface beneath you . This is your time to pause and be present . Your time to pause and be present . Let go of any distractions and simply tune into this moment of calm . Now bring your attention inward and start to notice any areas of tension in your body , perhaps in your shoulders , your jaw or your lower back , without judgment . Just observe where you may be holding on to tightness and , with each exhale , imagine the tension melting away . Picture it dissolving , leaving your body soft and relaxed . And as your breath flows naturally , let it bring relaxation to each part of your body , from your head all the way down to your toes . Feel the warmth of your breath as it creates space , releasing any heaviness With every inhale . Draw in calm With every exhale . Let go of stress .
Speaker 1Now bring to mind one thing you are truly grateful for . It could be a person , a special memory , or even the ability to pause and take this time for yourself . Whatever it is , visualize it vividly in your mind . See how the details of this gratitude , the way it feels , the colors , the sounds , the emotions . Notice how this gratitude fills in your heart . Is it warm , expansive ? Does it create a sense of peace in your body ? Let that feeling grow and spread through every part of you . Let it fill your chest , your arms , your legs . Allow it to radiate outward from you , touching every part of your being . Breathe it in deeply and allow the sense of gratitude to anchor you in the present moment . And , as we begin to bring this meditation to a close , carry this sense of gratitude with you . Know that this calm , this peace and this warmth are always available to you whenever you need them . Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the space around you , wiggle your fingers and toes , gently waking up your body and , when you're ready , open your eyes , take a deep breath in and exhale fully . And thank you for taking this moment for yourself today , and may your Thanksgiving be filled with peace , love and gratitude . Thank you so much for joining me in this guided meditation , this special Thanksgiving guided meditation .
Speaker 1I hope that you revisit . I hope it's something that you listen to daily , weekly , monthly , yearly . This is something that you can practice every single day . Take five minutes out of your day , that's all it takes . Five to eight minutes is all you need . I think this meditation was about five minutes . And , yeah , keep on practicing , bring that stillness in , bring that calmness in , and I think that you will see the benefits .
