Taming Overwhelm Meditation: Finding Resilience Within | Mindful Movement

I am no stranger to the feeling of being overwhelmed. When you find yourself in this state, it is important to slow down, connect with your values, prioritize what’s most important, and take one small step at a time with patience. This meditation is designed with these ideas in mind to help you build resilience and come back to a state of calm and clarity.
If you are looking for more in-depth guidance for working through the feelings of being overwhelmed, I have a comprehensive article at www.themindful.... Consider taking a look after your meditation practice is complete.

Dear Sara, this meditation is truly wonderful. I have recently learned that I have a form of dementia and found your words and the mental pictures it generates to be greatly soothing and indeed appropriate to aid my ‘path’ through life with this illness. I am most grateful, thank you!

Wishing you strength, courage and the bery bedt outcomes / may clear light surround you Graham

I've been dealing with pain and fatigue for almost 3 months and still don't have answers. I've been unable to leave my house or work, and my family is caring for me. Your meditations have brought me so much comfort and ease.

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Thanks for sharing that

[@KBish111]

Oh my goodness. Sara that was amazing!!!!! What a beautiful wonderful connection to my inner spirit and the strength and calm I receive in the Holy Spirit. This was extremely beautiful and powerful and so peaceful. Thank you from my heart to yours for this gift 🦋💓🦋

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Thanks for sharing that 💜

[@jazzsoul1695]

Helped me relax. Im being highly criticized at my job and its very traumatizing.

[@barbaradover7073]

This was a lovely meditation. Exactly what I needed to wake up to this morning. Thank you!

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mommybearcubs9906]

Ok, you earned a new subscriber! I was in tears when going down the pathways of my garden, while looking and admiring all of my life stages per corner 😢. I plan to retrain my brain, as I have been battling severe anxiety/ agoraphobia. I am a mother of five with a wonderful new baby and postpartum has been very tough and mind altering to say the least. I ca not wait to see the positive changes by being kind to myself and utilizing this wonderful guided meditation when feelings of distress come on❤ 🙏🏽

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Thanks for sharing that 💜

[@kimbawhitelioness]

This was perfect. I SO needed to come across this meditation today. Very much appreciated thst you created it. Thank you ❤

[@user-cx7xb5ke1r]

What a fantastic synchronicity and a blessing when this came up on my feed. My garden is chronically neglected and has been for a great many years, which is probably why I am suffering with a very painful fibromyalgia flare up and a job redundancy. I had been so busy trying too hard I had forgotten who I was and how to care for myself. This meditation has been a fantastic relief in every sense, prompting an awareness of and caring towards my own personal garden. Thank you so much for posting and for all the goodness you bring, it is deeply appreciated xx

[@rosiehailu2221]

This was beautiful I was able to look at my garden with confidence, and tender with care. Surely has been a journey for me but I’m thankful for the lessons I’ve learned, and I am now embracing the journey ahead with clarity and patience.

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Glad you enjoyed 💜

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Thanks for your continued support!

[@rosiehailu2221]

I practice with her every morning too! and this one felt much needed and timely.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

This is exactly what I needed tonight. I pictured a weedy area in the back of my yard, and thought, “yep! That’s what my mind feels like!” I’m going to listen again. Thank you. Nice music, too!

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@user-vh1bd1hy5q]

Another amazing meditation Sarah. I turned to you after surgery yesterday when I woke to a lot of pain. Thank you so much.

[@connie10000]

❤ Sara, OMG this session totally in sync to book, CULTIVATE from my Bible study group last night. Also places, I'VE been led to as listening & Taking Steps Forward 🎉 as my Inner Voice/Holy Spirit guides. I literally felt led to Hug a TREE on Sunday @ State Park. Sharing this to Bible Book gals🎉With Gratitude

[@connie10000]

EnJoyed reading your comment. Ironic, one night you are at a Cultivate book Bible study then the next day Sara brings Cultivate R & R into your path. You Got this Girl. One Step Forward Each Day = Success🎉

[@vasilisff]

It made me cry intensely... Brought up the image of me as a happy child that I feel I have abandoned... But at the end it provided me some relief

[@booksie1]

Feeling particularly misunderstood and unseen today. Experiencing a form of one-up-man-ship today and realised I always have. I’m expected to remain calm all the time even in the face of death. Labelled bad and needy if I show emotions. Need to self soothe, thank you for this x

[@madi_E]

Very very helpful i am grateful beyond measure

[@creonaoconnor-kv2ew]

Hi Sarah I woke up at 2.30 at night and listened to this and felt better it's lovely. Overwhelmed again as Bank has refused our mortgage after 4 months waiting so very disappointed and listened to cheer up.

[@judyzachary8761]

Try working with a mortgage broker instead of a bank. Good luck!

[@daviddean6032]

This is going to sound like a joke or something to make it sound like I’m mocking mindfulness but it isn’t and I’m not. My garden was on fire. I started off fine. I was relaxed, i focused on my breathing, I pictured the path in the forest to the garden, and I was trying to be receptive. But everything changed when I was supposed to envision the obstacles. Instead of thorns or something, a volcano sprang up and started erupting. As you were guiding me to remove the rocks and thorns, I couldn’t do anything about the volcano. So I just skipped when you got to the garden. Everything seemed relatively ok but I couldn’t stop thinking about the volcano. And in the part where my relationships were, lava just overran everything. In the self care area a flaming rock landed and destroyed it. When I was in the center of the garden and you were telling me to focus on the empowering words I was being whipped by a shadow telling me the opposite. And on the path to the big tree instead of the flowers they were shadowy, skeletal hands. And the big tree was fine until you said it represented my resilience. Then it was on fire and the bark began to shatter as the wind blew harder against it. Then when you gave the last empowering words I was in a headlock by the shadow and it repeated what you were saying but in a mocking way, to tell me that they weren’t true for me. Its voice was distorted but I heard my own in there. There was no way out of the burning garden and I couldn’t even find the way I came in. Idk what to do now. I just want to stop feeling like this all the time.

[@nataliegreen6188]

Is this good for stress

SARAH RAYMOND IS THE SHIT! THE MIKE TYSON OF MINDFULLNESS. THE OTHERS ARE JUST JAKE PAULS.

I always thought Sara resembled Tyson a bit. -Les

[@KBish111]

This !!!!!!😂❤

[@Kinship1]

Id love it without the music please, I find it a big distraction.

[@aib_]

This is not good. It feels aimless.

[@MariahIsSkinnyFuckBlueLives]

Found this guided meditation to be kind of stressful but I think maybe that’s not a bad thing? I feel like it brought up a lot of stuff that I wasn’t wanting to consciously acknowledge

[@SudhanshuMishraTheOne]
