Welcome to the Meditation Wases Podcast. This is Mary Maddox. Before we get started with the

meditation, I wanted to let you know that our meditation RX app is free on both Apple and Android.

We've made the app free in the hopes that it will help people with the stress and trauma of

the current pandemic. The app was originally created in collaboration with a doctor who wanted an

app for his patients and families who were faced with the stress of serious illness. As it turns

out, this app is just perfect now for the pandemic. The full name of the app is Meditation RX

for patients and families. Today's episode is a guided meditation from that app. It's a meditation

for self-suiting. This guided meditation will help you to learn to soothe yourself when your

emotions have become very rough and intense. You've had a traumatic experience. You could be

feeling all sorts of things.

So find a position that feels comfortable.

And now you can close your eyes.

Simply be aware of whatever is being experienced right now in this moment.

We're going to be paying attention to feelings, to emotions.

You may be having all sorts of thoughts about the emotions.

Judging them, evaluating them, trying to figure them out.

It's not necessary to understand why you feel something or where that feeling came from.

You can think of your emotions as like energy, a movement of energy in the body.

You can pay attention and notice where you feel the emotions in your body.

Let go of labels about them. Let go of thoughts about them and simply be present.

Be present to yourself and how you're feeling.

This is a time to be your own best friend.
