Containment Meditation

Containment Meditation: Some thoughts, feelings, and memories are too much to carry all day, but they are not ready to be worked through yet either. This meditation offers a third option: a safe place to set them down.

You'll be guided to build a container of your own design, one strong enough to hold whatever it needs to hold and able to be sealed tight. Breath by breath, you'll place inside it anything that feels heavy right now, close the lid, and store it somewhere safe. Not to avoid it, but to return to it another day, when you have the capacity to do so.

This is a practice many people use at the end of a therapy session, before sleep, or between the demands of work and home when there's no time to fully process what has come up. It helps you choose when to open the difficult things, rather than having them open on their own.

What's included: MP4 guided video with calming nature scenery, MP3 audio for listening anywhere, and a PDF script with pacing notes so you can read it to yourself, record it in your own voice, or share it in a therapeutic setting.
