Guided Meditation for Sadness and Hopelessness 10 Minutes

[@carenhope]

Remember: 1. It's okay to feel this way. 2. You won't always feel this way, and 3. You're not alone. 🙏🏻

[@vernicephillip4882]

Thank you so much for that

Making a story. Attachment to a feeling or thought.

To anyone struggling: You’re stronger than any test, paper due, breakup, money issue, or any battle you’re facing. Keep your head up.

[@spedbeats]

You too ❤

[@mrbrightside7193]

Thank you for doing this WITHOUT MUSIC!! 🙏🙌

[@carenhope]

You bet!

[@memedogo8576]

The music is usually awful and annoying in meditations

[@zoobee]

this feels like serendipity. I needed this so much this last week I've been hit with a spiral of sadness since receiving heartbreaking news in my personal life recently. thank you xXx

[@carenhope]

I’m so sorry to hear, and I sincerely hope this helps. It’s so difficult to sit with these feelings, yet can be healing over time if we’re courageous enough to try.

[@brennan7859]

Needed this today. Wish the world was full of kinder people like you. Thanks Caren ❤

I’m a psychology student, originally was not really interested in meditation or mindfulness as in my cultural context, the practice is always tied to religious practice. Until my professor taught about mindfulness in the lectures, so I learned more aspects of it than ones that I knew and opened up to experience more new mindfulness practices. Today I got triggered by a sad thought, it is a good opportunity to attempt meditation for sadness. I came across your video and it is very helpful. I felt at more ease and my sadness faded into 7 minutes. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

[@carenhope]

I’m glad I could be there at this moment for you. Wishing you the best in your studies.

[@snoopdog1097]

[@fluffychicken3304]

Thank you so much. I have been struggling a lot recently. I cant sleep anymore, I have no energy and I break down at the smallest thing. I truly appreciate you making it feel like im not alone,

[@carenhope]

[@sjancke]

I am not sure if I fell asleep sitting down, or if I was very tuned in. But I feel peaceful after listening. Thank you ❤

[@carenhope]

Peacefulness is always lovely to rediscover when meditating. 🙏🏻

[@evansmungai6384]

It works, It works 🎉

[@ChristopherMirto]

Wow. I want introduced to meditation a year ago and have practiced several times a week with varying success. This has been by far the most effective guided meditation video I’ve watched out of hundreds. From your tone, to the message of this video, language used, approach to regrounding and feeling safe in my body, and the clear sincerity in your voice, I’m so grateful to have found your channel.

[@carenhope]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share how this meditation went for you. I’m really touched by what you said. I recorded this practice when I was going through a tough time, and it was vulnerable to share it, but I’m really glad I did.

[@breindyweisz35]

I have tears in my eyes from breathing into the different body parts. I am just breathing into it and it is releasing tension. Thank you.

[@carenhope]

So great that you allowed yourself to be as you are during this meditation. 🙏🏻

[@origamigirl95]

I actually fell asleep. Thank you for this. ❤

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Broke up with my boyfriend of two and a half years last night so I definitely needed this.

[@carenhope]

Wishing you solace. 🙏🏻

[@helenabarcas1382]

[@carenhope]

[@denisemoreau3429]

Thanks. I needed this.❤

[@carenhope]

I’m glad this helped you. 🙏🏻

[@mmg2477]

Thanks!

[@SamanthaCho]

Thank you for this ❤️ I didn't realize I was feeling anything until I saw your video and realized I needed this. Also, I joined Held! I'm enjoying it the longer practice. These shorter videos are also wonderful to fit in during a busy day.

[@carenhope]

Welcome to Held! I’m so glad these practices are helpful for you. And yes, sometimes we don’t realize the importance of tending to sadness in our lives until we get an opportunity.

[@MyParis8]

What is Held? Is that an app?

[@omgilovesteak6484]

This is nice. Thank you. Rest in peace my sweet mother :(

[@carenhope]

Just when I need this, how do you offer ‘just the thing right on time’ so often?! Thanks Kx

Namashkaram sister ,. My past husband's...approach to height of annoyance everyday . My children manipulated by him, my mom is totally against and kept showering her bitterness and to change my idea to drop everything on my studies and career .. I lost my employment ,though I know the soultion...I was not competence enough to execute the steps to overcome any challenges.... I lost my money , my money for hacked by some internet intruders.. Everyday is like hell ,intentions to clear my debts ,meet family expenses, ..... All i find a peace of mind that's I'm responsible for my action..not for any others action .. Im responsive not reactive .. I'm a Divine soul connected to other souls for healing and contribute.. Pranam P.s. it's not easy to text ..kindly excuse any errors or bothers you

[@crab7564]
