Um, so yeah, let's talk about the May 12 Game Of Thrones episode. Or, you know what? Maybe let's not. Maybe you've already spent the whole night thinking about it and are feeling a little overwhelmed and confused and deep in your feels. Alright, how about this: How are you? Doing OK? Ready for the finale next weekend? Neither is anyone else. Firstly (and, of course, spoilers ahead), it looks as if Daenerys might be taking after her father a bit more than fans who have followed her journey for years would have liked to see — what with her attempting to completely obliterate King's Landing and kill everyone in sight with her fire-breathing dragon kid Drogon despite saying only one season ago that she does not want to be the "queen of the ashes"? Sigh.
All things considered, you're probably tired from staying up late after getting so riled up after that insane episode. And you're probably stressed because, well, that was stressful. And you're probably a little sad, too, given that your favorite show is quickly spiraling toward its final-ever episode. You deserve a moment of chill today, my dear Game Of Thrones stan, and trying out some meditations to help you relax after Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 can be a legitimately helpful thing to consider.
Whether you're ready to dive into an hour-long deep trance or just want to center yourself for a few minutes so you can function through the rest of your week without worrying about what the hell is going on in the Seven Kingdoms, there's a meditation that can help. Check out one of the following.
