Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alow there and welcome in. This is calming anxiety, daily
guided meditation, an affirmation to reunite mind, body and soul.
If you're new before we start, why not subscribe and
make mindfulness part of your daily routine. And if you

(00:22):
receive regular benefits from these shows, why not join the
supporters Club at only five dollars a month. Now find
your quiet place today, somewhere comfy to sit or lie down,
close your eyes and with your beautiful, powerful imagination, extend

(00:51):
your awareness and feel your breathing to explore the sensation
but ebb and flow with every in breath, with every outbreath,
to the exclusion of all other thoughts. Just focus completely now,

(01:20):
all of your attention on the almost hypnotic rhythm of
the rise and fall of every single breath, a moment
of time in your day, in your lifeline to find

(01:43):
true peace, balance, clarity of thought within the monologue of
your beautiful mind. So feel appreciate the ever changing, subtle
nuance as you breathe in, moving your focus from one

(02:07):
part of your chest to another, from the bottom part
your lower ribs all the way up through to your shoulders.
Feel appreciate every moment and with every outbreath, allow your

(02:29):
awareness to open up to the beautiful feeling of relaxation,
of relief, of truly unwinding, to discard the stress, the
negativity of the day, to allow all the darkness, the

(02:54):
moments of panic or fear, of regret, of heartache, to
simply melt away. Relax now deeper and deeper with every exhalation,

(03:17):
imagine yourself in the most wonderful, harmonious state. I wonder
how that feels for you. With every outbreath, the ill this,
Explore it, embrace it, let it become your soul focus,

(03:44):
and continue in allowing yourself to unwind, to float further
and further down with every outbreath, with every word I say,
with every beat of your heart, and to love all

(04:11):
that you are, relax, unwind deeper and deeper and deeper still,
so that deep within the calming mind, on every outbreath,

(04:31):
now you visualize these beautiful, powerful words of self worth
and love. With every outbreath, you repeat them in your
own imagination, softly yet firmly, and you continue in unwinding

(04:55):
ever deeper, safe and secure within the beauty of your mind.
So relaxed, unwine, imagine and repeat. My mind is now

(05:16):
a peaceful sanctuary of calm. My mind is now a
peaceful sanctuary of calm. My mind is now a peaceful

(05:39):
sanctuary of calm. My mind is now a peaceful sanctuary
of calm. And still, deeper and deeper, you imagine yourself unwinding,

(06:04):
drifting safe, secure within the beauty of your consciousness, and
may be imagine love radiating deep within your soul. With
every repetition, with every outbreaft, it intensified, so relapsed, unwine,

(06:32):
Imagine and repeat. My mind is now a peaceful sanctuary
of calm. My mind is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm.

(06:58):
My mind is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. My
mind is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. Further and

(07:20):
further into a wonderful natural trance like state, you find
yourself drifting, a sense of self worth and courage ignited
deep deep down in your soul. Relax, visualize, and repeat.

(07:48):
My mind is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. My
mind is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. My mind

(08:12):
is now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. My mind is
now a peaceful sanctuary of calm. And within this moment

(08:33):
in your day. Feel your breathing once more, embrace the
embreor and then connect as you exhale with a simple
joy of unwinding, of letting go of stress, of controlling, panic, fear,

(08:59):
or doubt, because simply put, you are worthy. Now take
a deep, deep intake of breath and time now to
reorientate your mind, your thoughts and focus to the challenge
and infinite joy and beauty of the world around you.

(09:23):
And now take another deep breath, this time completely fill
your lungs to the very top, and now stretch out
those muscles in your arms and legs, big stretch, and
now open your eyes and smile. Thank you for taking
time out to nurture your soul today. I'm Martin, creator

(09:45):
of calming anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist, paramedic in my career, and
recoverer from childhood PTSD. Through daily mindfulness and meditation, I
create the ease and hope that you will one day
become a beacon of hope for others as well. Have

(10:06):
a lovely day, my friend. Smile as often as you
can positive thoughts, and then in everything, be kind
