Release Performance Anxiety
Does your heart beat faster, your hands sweat, your mouth go dry, or your stomach tie itself in knots when you’re in the spotlight? If so, you’re not alone. Approximately 75 percent of us experience some type of performance anxiety. Even accomplished profes- sionals often suffer from stage fright. An eight-week study of musicians, published in Psychology of Music in 2008, found that meditation improved participants’ performance anxiety as well as their performance quality. Whether you have stage fright, interview anxiety, first date jitters, or any other type of performance anxiety, the following meditation will help you feel grounded, protected, and confident.
1} Sit quietly in a place where you feel comfort- able and close your eyes.
2} Imagine a shaft of light, like a laser beam, descending from above you. Sense it enter the crown of your head and travel down through the center of your body.
3} Feel the light move through each chakra and then exit your tailbone region (this experience may give you quite a rush). Imagine the shaft of light continuing its descent, all the way down to the very center of the Earth. See or sense the beam grounding you as it anchors you to the Earth.
4} Now, imagine a sphere of luminescent light forming around you, like a cocoon. This sphere shields you and provides a sense of security.
5} From your place within the sphere, ask your Higher Self to remove the anxiety you are experiencing.
6} Feel the sphere drawing the anxiety and ten- sion out of you and away from you.
7} Remain in the meditation for as long as you like. When you feel ready, open your eyes.
Freed of the anxiety and tension, you can now enjoy the performance, the date, the interview. Periodically, notice that the shaft of light is still anchoring you and the luminescent sphere is still shielding you.
