Breathing and body scan exercises can be effective tools for reducing feelings of stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and mindfulness.

Focusing on your breath can help reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows down your heart rate and breathing, and helps you feel more relaxed. Deep breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing, can also help reduce tension in the muscles and promote a sense of calm.

A body scan exercise involves paying attention to each part of your body, from head to toe, and noticing any sensations or tension that you may be holding. This mindfulness practice can help you become more aware of how your body responds to stress and can help you release tension and promote relaxation.

This guided mediation may work even better when accompanied by relaxing music.

Relaxing 5 Min Meditation For Stress And Anxiety

Welcome to this relaxing meditation to relieve stress and anxiety.

Find a comfortable sitting position with your head balanced atop the spine.

Begin to draw in a slow and deep breath filling your lungs as much as you can … holding the breath for just a moment at the top … and then exhaling, allowing your eyes to close and your body to relax …

Breathing deeply once again holding your breath for as long as comfortable … as you exhale, let your body sink down even more as your relaxation doubles …

Take note of how you feel right now … I bet you are already more relaxed than before you started this meditation …

Your eyes are closed, the darkness of the eyelids is comforting … you have nowhere to be right now and nothing to do … enjoy this moment of stillness …

Now, center your attention to the palms of your hands … notice any sensations that you feel in the palms…

You can imagine that your hands are feeling very heavy… and relaxed …

The more you focus on the palms of your hands, the more you slip into a deep meditative state …

Whenever your mind wanders away, following a thought, it’s okay… simply return your awareness to the palms…

Feeling every sensation in the palm of your hands … this is very relaxing.

As each moment passes by, all anxiety and stress melt away from the body and the mind…

Can you bring your attention to the breath now? Without changing it in any way … just notice how you are breathing … the gentle awareness of how each breath is bringing you life...
