Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Calming Anxiety Podcast. Your moment of daily
guided meditation ten minutes to soothe your soul. I'm your host, Martin,
creator of over two thousand of these guided sessions. Sed
subscribe and enjoy the back catalog to find your perfect
(00:22):
moment of calm. Now find your quiet place to day,
somewhere relaxing, to sit or lie down, and then close
your eyes and open your imagination so that you can
(00:43):
now connect with a beautiful rhythm of the rise and
form of every single breath. To gift yourself a moment
of time in your lifeline, to allow those moments of panic,
(01:05):
of fear, of anxiety, or doubt to simply melt away
and replace them with harmony, self worth, and a new
feeling of love and clarity in the way you think, feel,
(01:27):
and react. So connect with the rhythmic beauty of your breathing.
Now truly deeply feel every moment of every breath. To
be mindful as you inhale of the way your rib
(01:51):
cage expands, how it rises, and the sensations that follow
in breath after in breath, Explore it all. Imagine every
(02:12):
time you inhale the space within your lungs fills with
every hope, every dream and ambition. Imagine it all, and
then as you exhale, connect, explore, and truly appreciate the
(02:37):
beauty of the outbreath, the way your shoulders relax almost
warm weighted, sensation flowing through them, The way your chest
deflates as you release the tension and negativity, but a
(03:00):
deep sense of release flows through your chest and shoulders
like a beautiful sigh at the end of a busy day.
Outbreath after outbreath, you relax and unwind, finding peace and
(03:24):
balance within the monologue of your thoughts, and imagine yourself
as if drifting deeply, safely within the sanctuary of your
consciousness into a magical place of change, full of all
(03:49):
of your positivity and hopes of every dream yet to
be realized. Relax now deeper and deeper and deeper, so
at peace, connecting with all that you are. Outpress after outbreath,
(04:17):
bringing you a true sense of balance, of clarity, deeply
and safely further and further down. So let in your
mind's eye now, with every outbreath you picture these beautiful words.
(04:43):
You repeat them firmly yet softly within your own thoughts,
you see them bright and bold in your mind's eye.
So relax, wind, imagine, and repeat. I am grounded in
(05:08):
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
(05:35):
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
the present with an open mind. And still ever deeper,
(06:00):
more at peace, more in tune with all that you are.
You continue to drift, to unwind, to truly allow yourself
to heal, to rest and reset. So relax, drift, deeply,
(06:27):
imagine and repeat. I am grounded in the present with
an open mind. I am grounded in the present with
(06:50):
an open mind. I am ground in the present with
an open mind. I am grounded in the present with
(07:16):
an open mind. Further and further down within your beautiful mind,
your body rested, your breathing relaxed, the connection of mind
(07:37):
and body unique and intimate. Relax, ever deeper, unwine, and
then once more, visualize and repeat. I am grounded in
(07:59):
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
(08:26):
the present with an open mind. I am grounded in
the present with an open mind, and float within the
(08:51):
beauty of your mind. Feel every fiber of your body
is your thoughts. Connect with all that you are and
love every part of you, for you are unique. There
(09:13):
has never been another you, there never will be. So
love yourself for who you are. Now take a deep,
deep intake of breath, and now start to reorientate your mind,
your thoughts, and focus to the challenge and infinite wonder
(09:36):
of the world outside. Now take another deep breath, but
this time completely inflate your lungs to the very top.
Now stretch out the muscles in your arms and legs,
and open your eyes and smile. Thank you for joining
in with me today as we share this journey of
(10:02):
mindful self improvement. I hope you have a lovely day
wherever you are. Whatever you're going through, never give up.
Life has its ups and its downs, but we choose
to bounce back quicker and more positive now and truly
(10:22):
appreciate the world around us and the moment we're in.
Let's reconnect, have fun, smile often positive thoughts, and then,
in everything, especially towards yourself, be kind
