Resourcing Meditation
For today’s mediation I’d like to practice a resiliency building skill called Resourcing. Resourcing is when we imagine ourselves in a safe or happy place, noticing how we feel.
Let’s get comfortable wherever we’re sitting. Close your eyes and place your hands in your lap. Take a deep breath in through your nose and when you’re ready, exhale through your mouth.
Keep up that nice slow inhale and exhale and feel free to go at a natural pace for you.
Now I want you to imagine yourself in a place where you feel at peace. It could be a physical place like the ocean, or in a hammock in the woods. Or it might be an emotional place like with a person or pet who you love. Visualize yourself there. Engage your senses. Feel that deep sense of peace and rest in your spirit.
Hold onto that feeling and keep breathing deeply at that nice slow pace.
Where does that sense of peace reside in your body? How do you experience it? What does that peace feel like physically? Emotionally? Spiritually?
As you breathe, continue to hold onto that feeling. Focus on keeping your breath nice and slow. Remember you’re in your happy place.
One more minute to breathe. Amen.
