Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi there, and welcome. This is calming anxiety, your go
to place for daily meditation at coffee break for the soul.
I'm your host, Martin, clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic, and a
well recovered soul from childhood PTSD. So find your quiet
(00:25):
place now where you won't be disturbed, Somewhere comfy to
sit or lie down and close your eyes and with
your beautiful mind, expand your awareness and connect with the
(00:46):
almost hypnotic rhythm of the rise, the pause and fall
of every single breath, true intimate connection between mind and body.
(01:07):
Feel your breathing the inbreath like never before. Be aware
of all the feelings as you inhale and your chest rises.
Take note of that momentary pause between the inn and
(01:28):
the outbreath. And then as you breathe out, you allow
yourself a moment to let go of tension and stress,
of negativity or fear, and imagine yourself totally at peace,
(01:54):
as if a wave of warm, calming energy descended over
your entire being, covered your soul and wrapped you up
in blissful protection. Breathe out and let go, just drift,
(02:21):
relax and unwind. Feel the in breath through every phase
of innihalation. Hold the moment at the top for a
brief moment, and then as you relax softly yet firmly
(02:44):
in your thoughts, simply repeat, relax, Visualize the word in
your thoughts as you breathe out, feel that sense of
relaxation as you repeat it out breath after out breath, Relax,
(03:12):
see each letter in your beautiful mind. I wonder what
color you choose, the shape of each letter, the size
the font. But outbreath after outbreath, moment after moment, humor,
(03:36):
re enforce the sense of unwinding, of balance of harmony
with every outbreath, with every repetition, so that in times
of need you can bring comfort understanding simply by bringing
(03:58):
your thoughts back here. Relax, deeper and deeper and deeper still, unwind, drift,
let go of negativity, of panic, fear, and self doubt.
(04:26):
Relax and unwind, so that as peace as understanding now
flows through the very monologue of your consciousness, you can repeat, feel,
understand these new powerful words of positive change, breathing out,
(04:54):
releasing doubt. So relax, release, imagine, and repeat. I give
myself permission to simply rest and be renewed. I give
(05:18):
myself permission to simply rest and be renewed. I give
myself permission to simply rest and be renewed. I give
(05:40):
myself permission to simply rest and be renewed. And still
deeper and deeper into a wonderful, mindfully relaxed state of being.
You are imagine yourself drifting, expanding your awareness to appreciate
(06:07):
all that you are. Relax truly deeply, unwind, exhale, and repeat.
I give myself permission to simply rest and be renewed.
(06:33):
I give myself permission to simply rest and be renewed.
I give myself permission to simply rest and be renewed.
(06:56):
I give myself permission to simply rest and be renewed.
And just flute, truly feel the inn and the outreath.
Just acknowledge this gift of time to bring balance, stillness, compassion,
(07:24):
acceptance to the thoughts and memories in your soul. Relax
ever deeper, release, visualize, and repeat. I give myself permission
(07:46):
to simply rest and be renewed. I give myself permission
to simply rest and benwed. I give myself permission to
(08:09):
simply rest and be renewed. I give myself permission to
simply rest and be renewed. And still you drift within
(08:31):
the beauty of your soul. Just connect again with every breath,
with every sensation, loving all that you are leaving behind,
the mistakes and regrets of your past, to replace them
with ambition, with hope, with self worth, and a desire
(08:53):
to challenge every part of you, because, simply put, you
are worthy. Relax. Now embrace this moment, this challenge of life.
(09:14):
Now take a deep, deep intake of breath. Now start
to reorientate your mind, to set your focus on the
challenge and the infinite wonder of the world around you.
Inhale again and this time fill your lungs to the
very top. And now let's stretch out the muscles in
your arms and legs and open your eyes and smile.
(09:39):
Thank you for being part of calming anxiety. If you
find benefit, please do share this. Tell your friends, family,
and colleagues. Let's spread awareness and kindness. Let's negate all
the darkness that is pushed on us by social media.
(10:02):
Let us be the change we wish to see in
the world around us. Take care, my friend, smile often
positive thoughts, and in everything, be kind
