Welcome in to 10 Minute Powernapp guided meditation for energy and focus.
(00:08):
This is calming anxiety.
Over the next 10 minutes, let's reset your mind and body so you can return to your day
feeling refreshed and sharp.
This is your moment to find peace and claim your personal energy boost.
(00:29):
A quick word from our partner.

(00:50):
Now let's begin your power nap.
Gently find a comfortable seated or reclined position.
Allow your eyes to close.
Take a deep grounding breath in, filling your chest and abdomen.
(01:12):
And as you slowly sigh it out, release any lingering stress from your morning, any mental
clutter from your tasks.
And another breath in and out.
Letting go of any pressure or tension you might be carrying about that upcoming meeting
(01:38):
or deadline or simply the afternoons to do list.
Feel a sense of calm washing over you.
Now let's begin a body scan focused on immediate relief.
Notice your shoulders.
(02:00):
Often this is where we hold the weight of our responsibilities and anxiety.
Imagine those muscle fibers softening, releasing any pre-meeting jitters or the feeling of being
overwhelmed by tasks.
(02:22):
Allow your jaw to relax, easing the subtle tension from focused concentration or holding
backwards.
Shift your awareness to your forehead, smoothing out any lines of worry.
(02:45):
Let your eyes soften.
Feel your mind begin to quieten down.
We are setting aside the mental chatter related to your work performance and simply resting.
Each breath takes you deeper into a state of quick rejuvenation into a space of inner
(03:14):
peace.
You don't have to solve anything right now.
You only have to breathe and be present.
Just four more minutes until you are fully recharged, revitalized and ready to face your
(03:35):
day with clarity.
Maybe scan your body for areas of tension or stress and now focus on that single spot.
As you breathe in, imagine a warm calming sensation flowing through that area and then as you
(04:03):
exhale.
The fibers there, they loosen, they lengthen, they unwind, the stress and tension dissipates,
disappearing from thought, disappearing from memory and you truly allow yourself to relax
(04:32):
and unwind.
To take and only yourself with a ten minute power nap for energy and focus and within
the sanctuary of your consciousness, imagine you are standing beneath a gentle, warm waterfall
(04:58):
of pure, clear, golden energy.
This luminous energy washes away any lingering tiredness, any brain fog and replaces it with
vibrant alertness.
As the water flows over you, feel it igniting a spark of new motivation.
(05:26):
Heat these powerful affirmations silently to yourself, allowing them to deeply resonate.
I am fully recharged and ready for anything.
(05:48):
I am mentally sharp, focused and clear-headed.
I have the energy and concentration to complete my day successfully.
(06:09):
I welcome clarity and inner calm.
I am restored and resilient with every image of this golden light, feel your focus strengthening,
(06:32):
your concentration returning and your internal batteries restoring to that optimal level.
You are absorbing positive energy and releasing anything that no longer serves your peak performance.
(06:57):
And once more, in the beauty of your mind's eye, repeat, visualize, feel these wonderful
affirmations of positivity.
I am fully recharged and ready for anything.
(07:25):
I am mentally sharp, focused and clear-headed.
I have the energy and concentration to complete my day successfully.
(07:48):
I welcome clarity and inner calm.
I am restored and resilient.
(08:12):
I now feel your breathing once more.
Imagine breathing in every success, every moment of happiness, of positivity.
Hold onto that breath and let those feelings flow through every fiber of your being.
(08:36):
And then as you breathe out, you release any tension, any doubt, any negative blocks, allow
them to drift away.
(08:57):
Slowly now, bring your awareness back into the room, wiggling your fingers and toes when
you are ready.
Gently open your eyes.
You are now awake, alert and energized.
Take this feeling of renewed focus, clarity and inner peace with you into the rest of your
(09:19):
day.

(10:08):

Smile often, positive thoughts and above all, be kind.
