Episode Transcript
Hi there and welcome, this is Carming Anxiety, 10 minutes of simple, gentle guided daily meditation
(00:11):
to bring a little harmony and balance to your soul.
I'm your host Martin, as I do always just before we start, if you're new or haven't already,
do subscribe and make this part of your daily mindful journey.
Now it's time to find that quiet place where you won't be disturbed, somewhere relaxing,
(00:38):
to sit or lie down, close your eye and with your beautiful mind, relax and connect with
the rhythmic rise and form of every breath, to truly connect now, to let your mind move from
(01:06):
one part of your chest to another appreciating how the feelings have been flowed with the
rise and form of every breath, how they make you feel, the pressure of your upper back
(01:28):
against the chair or bed on which you rest, or maybe focus around your shoulders as your
rib cage expands rising upward, but then as you breathe out, to take note of how the muscles
(01:49):
feel around your shoulders, how they slump down and you become aware of that sense of relaxation,
of blissful, really, so relax now deeply, calmly allowing yourself to drift ever further down
(02:16):
within the sanctuary of your beautiful mind, breathing out the stress, the negative thoughts
that hold you back, the moments of indecision or panic allow them all to just melt away as you exhale
(02:43):
and drift deeper and deeper and deeper further and further down
and within the beauty of this new connection, this intimate way of feeling every breath
(03:08):
and appreciating the simplicity of inducing a state of calm wherever you are, whenever you need,
simply by focusing on a calm connected out breath
(03:28):
you drift deeply now in a safe state building up your strength, your courage, your ambitions,
but relax further and further deeper and deeper with every out breath with every word I say
(03:57):
feel your breathing let all attention just evaporate from the very surface of your skin
to disappear from thought from memory and leave the monologue within your mind
(04:20):
balance understanding full of self-worth and courage
and within this beautiful moment in your day, in your mind's eye now, imagine these words
as if seeing them bright within your thoughts so that on every out breath
(04:47):
you repeat them softly yet with firmness and intent, feeling them, believing in them
so relax, unwind, visual eye and repeat
my past is now transformed into a bright future
(05:12):
my past is now transformed into a bright future
my past is now transformed into a bright future
(05:38):
and continue in allowing yourself to drift deeply safely further and further down into this state
(06:08):
of self-love, of connecting with every breath and with who you are
mind body and soul unified with one purpose to expand your ambitions and awareness
to unleash your true potential no longer held back by the negative words or actions of those around you
(06:37):
relax now imagine and repeat
my past is now transformed into a bright future
my past is now transformed into a bright future
(07:04):
my past is now transformed into a bright future
into a bright future
my past is now transformed into a bright future
(07:29):
further and further you continue to allow yourself to heal to reset
to become the best version of you you could wish for
so relax, release, visualize and repeat
(07:59):
my past is now transformed into a bright future
my past is now transformed into a bright future
my past is now transformed into a bright future
(08:37):
my past is now transformed into a bright future
and now simply float timeless and weightless within the beauty of your consciousness
creating an aura of protection around you
(09:03):
from the negativity the turmoil of the outside world yet opening your mind and heart to the beauty
that presents itself every day if we choose to see it
so just connect with your breathing now feel it once more
(09:24):
hold on to this moment to cherish it in times of need
because simply put you are worthy
now take a deep deep and take a breath and time now to reorientate your mind your focus to
(09:48):
the joy the beauty and the infinite challenge and opportunities of the world around you
take another deep breath now fill your lungs this time to the very top
now stretching out those muscles in your arms and legs and open your eye and smile thank you
you know I always say smile at the end practice it even if you're going through the darkest of
(10:15):
days right now if you're consumed by self-loathing just look in the mirror for the briefest of
moments smile and hold on to hope take care my wonderful friend truly look after you positive thoughts
as often as you can let's reconnect tomorrow spread harmony and peace and above all in everything
(10:45):
be kind

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
