Are you facing a major transition, a career change, or just a new chapter in life? This session is your anchor.
Welcome to a powerful guided session from The Calming Anxiety Podcast, specifically created to help you embrace change with open arms.
It's natural to feel resistance, fear, or anxiety when facing an uncertain future. This practice is dedicated to helping you release your grip on what you can't control and build profound mental resilience. We use gentle hypnotherapy and mindful visualization techniques to help you see change not as a threat, but as a fertile ground for growth.
In this guided meditation, you will:
- Release the Fear of the Unknown: Use deep, rhythmic breathing to immediately calm the nervous system response to uncertainty.
- Cultivate Emotional Acceptance: Learn how to sit with and dissolve feelings of resistance and emotional turmoil during life transitions.
- Build Resilience: Ground yourself in the present moment, developing the inner strength needed to navigate difficult changes.
- Shift Your Mindset on Uncertainty: Replace the feeling of dread with curiosity and trust, enabling you to step confidently into the future.
- Heal Your Relationship with Change: Acknowledge your past fears and gently guide your mind toward a new, positive belief in your ability to adapt and thrive.
Stop letting the "what ifs" paralyze you. It's time to find inner peace and strength in the face of life's constant movement. Tune in now and discover how much lighter your journey can be when you truly embrace change.

Episode Transcript
Hello there and welcome, your listening to calming anxiety, UK's number one show for daily
(00:08):
guided meditation with me your host Martin.
Now find your quiet place, somewhere where you won't be disturbed for a while, somewhere
comfy to sit or lie down and then simply close your eyes and focus on the sound of my voice,
(00:36):
expanding your awareness to connect with the rhythmic, rise and fall of every breath,
a moment in your day to find and nurture the balance and calm within the sanctuary of
(01:01):
your consciousness.
So feel truly deeply every moment of every breath as if placing your awareness
deep inside the space within your lungs.
(01:26):
To be mindful as you inhale of the shifting sensations within and around your chest,
feel ribcage, the muscles, the surface of your skin, explore it all, taking all the time
(01:51):
you need.
Feel the breath, imagine, feel, connect with the subtle nuance as your chest expands.
(02:11):
Moving your focus, your awareness, form one area to another with no set plan, just open
your thoughts to whatever happens.
To take note of the momentary pause between each in and out breath and then as you exhale
(02:45):
feel that sense of release as if warm summer sunshine was bathing down on you, easing
away the tension, the daily moments of stress, releasing the worry, the negativity, the doubts
(03:12):
and allowing yourself now to truly deeply unwind as if your very consciousness was being
softly cradle as it floats further and further down into a natural, safe, trans-like state.
(03:42):
So feel the in breath, release all your tension with every outbreak and love all that you
are.
Deeper and deeper, further and further down with every word I say, with every beat
(04:12):
of your heart, relax and unwind.
And within this moment of calm contemplation within your own mind's eye, you visualize,
(04:34):
you imagine these wonderful words of love and acceptance with every outbreak, you speak
them softly within your thoughts and you hold them in your heart.
Surrelacks, unwind, imagine and repeat.
(05:01):
I embrace change with open arms.
I embrace change with open arms.
(05:23):
I embrace change with open arms.
I embrace change with open arms.
(05:48):
And with every repetition and visualization, you truly allow yourself to find balance,
clarity of thought within your beautiful mind.
Relax now, truly unwind and then once more, on each and every outbreak, imagine and repeat.
(06:23):
I embrace change with open arms.
I embrace change with open arms.
(06:46):
I embrace change with open arms.
I embrace change with open arms.
(07:10):
Further and further within the beauty of your consciousness, you drift, you grow in strength,
in focus and in balance of how you think, feel and react.
(07:33):
Relax, unwind and once more, imagine and repeat.
I embrace change with open arms.
(07:54):
I embrace change with open arms.
I embrace change with open arms.
(08:18):
I embrace change with open arms.
And within this space, this moment in your day, in your life night, simply relax and
(08:39):
drift, expand your awareness and connect with every fiber of your being and truly love
all that you are.
In behind the negativity of your past, discarding the regrets but taking with you the knowledge
(09:04):
learned because simply put, you are worthy.
Now take a deep, deep intake a breath and time to reorientate your thoughts and focus
to the challenge and the infinite wonder of the world that surrounds us all.
(09:27):
Now take another deep breath, filling your lungs right to the very top and now stretch
out those muscles in your arms and legs, big, big stretch and now open your eyes and smile
and welcome to a brand new moment where you now are in charge of how you think
(09:51):
feel and react.
So smile often, remain positive, love all that you are and then in everything, especially
to yourself, be kind.
(10:12):

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.
