Inner Strength Meditations
Calming before a presentation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This practice helps you settle nerves before a test or speaking in front of others. You’ll use the breath to release tension and build calm, focused awareness. Practice now so it’s there for you when pressure shows up.
Why this helps? Breathing with intention helps reduce anxiety and improve focus when you feel pressure.
Welcome to Inner Strength Meditations. For a little calm and care, we got you.

SPEAKER_01This is a mindful breathing practice for test taking or public speaking. This practice will help you release tension and stress you may feel while taking a test or speaking in public. Both these situations cause many teens anxiety. Luckily, there are some mindfulness tools that can be very helpful when you're feeling anxious. Let's practice now so you'll know what to do next time you're taking a test or speaking in front of a group. Let's begin by coming into a comfortable and alert meditation posture. Rest your feet flat on the floor. Elongate your spine. Tuck in your chin, and gently close your eyes if you like. Or you can keep them open and relaxed. Feel the contact your body is making with your seat and the ground beneath you. Allow yourself to relax into your seat. Let your weight release into the ground beneath you. Relax your body and allow any tension to release into the ground. Now simply connect to your breath in a very simple way. Notice your breathing in and notice your breathing out. On the next in breath, breathe in calm and relaxation, and on the out breath, release any stress or tension you may be holding in your body or mind, breathing all the way out and releasing stress and tension, breathing in, calm and relaxation, and breathing out, releasing stress, anxiety, and tension in the body and mind. Continue connecting to your in breath, breathing in, calm, focused awareness, and on the outbreath, breathing out, letting go of any stress or tension you may be holding, releasing tension on the outbreath. You can do this as long as you like, each time bringing in calm and relaxed energy on the in-breath, and releasing tension and anxiety on the outbreath. Each time allowing yourself to connect to greater calm, focus, clarity of mind, and balance.
SPEAKER_00Pretty awesome.
