(00:23):
then today, find that quiet place where you won't be disturbed,
somewhere comfy to sit or lie down. Close your eyes now,
and with your beautiful mind, expand your awareness and connect
(00:46):
and explore the almost hypnotic rhythm of the rise, the
pause and form of every single breath, and honor yourself
with this simple gift of time to find balance and
(01:10):
calm within the turmoil of your thoughts. So truly feel
connect with the sensations in and around your chest as
you inhale, as you become aware more mindful of the
(01:34):
subtle shifting sensations in and around your rib cage as
it expands as it rises, and you fill your lungs
with every moment of laughter, of hope, of joy, to
(01:56):
take note of a pause between every in and out breath,
and then you exhale, and you allow yourself to simply
let go the moments of negativity, of anger, of frustration
(02:19):
or fear, allowing all the stress of the day, to
simply drift away on every outbreath, and to leave the
monologue of your thoughts deep within the sanctuary of your
(02:40):
soul in a state of balance and calm, a new
way of thinking flowing through every thought, one of clarity, acceptance,
of self worth and love. So relax now every outpress
(03:08):
as if drifting deeply into a wonderful, natural, trance like state,
just you, the rhythm of your breathing, the sound of
my voice, as you allow yourself to truly unwind and
(03:33):
imagine your thoughts, your soul floating down deeper and deeper
into a magical place of change, outbreath after outbreath, deeper
(03:55):
and deeper and deeper still, you become aware of the
tension leaving your body, of the noise leaving your thoughts,
just pure blissful mindfulness, as you reunite mind, body and
(04:21):
soul in harmony, so that within the beauty now of
your mind's eye, with every outbreath you visualize these wonderful
words of change. With every outbreath you repeat them in
(04:43):
your thoughts, softly, yet not moving your jaw, your lips,
or your tongue. You feel them and embrace them. So relax, unwind, imagine,
and repeat. My own approval is the only one I
(05:06):
ever truly need to seek. My own approval is the
only one I ever truly need to seek. My own
(05:27):
approval is the only one I ever truly need to seek.
My own approval is the only one I ever truly
need to seek. And still, with every imagination, with every repetition,
(05:58):
you allow yourself a deeper sense of mindful tranquility, the
tension simply evaporating from the very surface of your skin. Relax, now, unwine, imagine,
(06:20):
and repeat. My own approval is the only one I
ever truly need to seek. My own approval is the
only one I ever truly need to seek. My own
(06:47):
approval is the only one I ever truly need to seek.
My own approval is the only one I ever truly
need to seek. And deeper and deeper, still, relaxed and calm,
(07:19):
My own approval is the only one I ever truly
need to seek. My own approval is the only one
I ever truly need to seek. My own approval is
(07:45):
the only one I ever truly need to seek. My
own approval is the only one I ever truly need
to seek. And simply drift, joyful, reunited, as if you've
(08:13):
unshackled the darkness and negativity of your past, serving now
to explore your needs, your ambitions, to embrace all that
you are, to love every part of you, because simply put,
(08:37):
you are worthy. So feel your breathing once more in
this intimate state and connect mind and body is one.
Now take a deep, deep intake of breath, and time
(08:59):
to refocus your mind, your thoughts to the challenge, the
joy and wonder of the world around you. Take another
deep breath, fill your lungs right to the very top,
and then stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs.
And now open your eyes and smile. Have a lovely day,
(09:21):
my friend, wherever you are, whatever you do, empower yourself,
forgive your past, embrace today, and plan for tomorrow. And
then in every thought, every word, and action, be kind.
