Guided Meditation for Letting Go, Deep Transformation, & Authentic Living
Are you ready to stop fighting what is and start living the genuine life meant for you?
Welcome to a profound, heart-centered session from The Calming Anxiety Podcast. This meditation is dedicated to the ultimate act of self-care: letting go. This is where we release the chains of the past and the fear of the future, enabling the flow of deep transformation and the discovery of true, authentic life.
Resistance is the root of much anxiety. In this powerful practice, we guide you to surrender that resistance, dissolving the emotional barriers that keep you stuck. By letting go of control and expectations, you create the necessary space for inner peace, purpose, and the powerful, effortless version of yourself to emerge.
In this transformative session, you will practice:
- The Art of Letting Go: A guided release visualization to gently unhook from worries, grudges, and the need for control.
- Deep Inner Transformation: Anchoring the belief that true personal change begins when you stop forcing and start allowing.
- Authenticity and Purpose: Techniques to connect with your true self and align your life with your deepest spiritual growth and values.
- Releasing Resistance: Learn how to immediately identify and soften moments of emotional pushback, allowing for stress relief and mental ease.
- Welcoming Flow: Cultivating a mindset of trust and acceptance, making your journey through life less of a struggle and more of a joyful flow.

Episode Transcript
Hello there and welcome. This is calming anxiety. Simply 10 minutes of gentle, guided, daily
(00:10):
meditation. A powerful, yet beautiful affirmation to soothe the soul. As always my friend, if you
haven't already, do subscribe, give it a like, leave a comment and tell your friends. Now find
that quiet place today, somewhere comfy, relaxing, where you can sit or lie down
(00:38):
and then close your eyes. And with your beautiful, powerful imagination,
expand your awareness now and connect to explore and appreciate the beautiful, almost hypnotic rhythm
(01:02):
of the rise and form of every breath and of every word I say to the exclusion of all other sorts.
However, if you find your mind wandering, distracted by day dreams, random thoughts of tasks yet to
(01:30):
be completed, or simply caught by a sound floating in from the outside world, acknowledge these
moments, they are normal but once passed, bring your focus back once more to the rhythm of every breath,
(01:53):
the shifting feelings, the rise, the pause, the fall of your chest, to be mindful now,
of the space deep within your lungs, filling with every moment of positivity, of life, of ambition,
(02:21):
to be aware of the feelings on the surface of your skin, pressing against the clothing you're wearing
as your rib cage expands outwards, rising, the changing sensations around your upper back as it rests
(02:45):
on a chair or bed on which you stay. But now as you allow yourself this moment of release,
of mindful relaxation, allow your thoughts to become aware of the beauty of letting go and unwinding
(03:13):
as you exhale that natural deep sigh that touches the core of your soul on every outpour.
Breathing in and then release and relax as you breathe out, becoming more and more aware now
(03:41):
with every passing out breath of that joy, that beauty of letting go
as if your consciousness now was drifting deeper and deeper and deeper still
(04:04):
with every exhalation, with every word I say, allow the negative thoughts, those moments of panic,
of sadness to simply melt away as you breathe out,
(04:27):
allow them all to disappear from thought from memory and find yourself in a state of balance and peace
within your own soul so that in the beauty of your mind's eye now as you exhale,
(04:52):
you can see these wonderful words of positive change repeating them softly within your thoughts,
feeling them, surrelates, unwind, imagine and repeat,
(05:14):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(05:41):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(06:10):
deeper and deeper you continue to allow yourself to unwind, to just be
floating protected by a newfound aura of confidence and control,
(06:31):
relax now, visualize and repeat, I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(06:51):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(07:19):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
further and further into this wonderful, natural, trans-like state,
(07:42):
finding a new sense of clarity, of peace, of understanding for all that you are,
relax now deeply and safely and then once more, imagine and repeat,
(08:05):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(08:32):
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
I let go and welcome in transformation and true life,
(09:00):
now float within the sanctuary of your consciousness,
weightless, timeless, growing daily with every thought, with every action,
and strength, and fortitude, in understanding and love for all that you are,
(09:25):
relax now and reach out once more, connect intimately with every breath,
and just allow the moments of regret, of failure, of sadness,
to leave you, let them all just drift away,
(09:55):
now take a deep, deep intake a breath, and time now to reorientate your mind,
your thoughts, your focus, to the challenge, the joy, and the beauty of the world around you,
take another deep breath now, this time filling your lungs up completely to the very top,
now stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs, and open your eyes, and smile,
(10:19):
thank you for taking care of you today, I'm your host Martin,
daily meditation and mindfulness saved me, changed my world,
and my life around me, and I hope it can for you too, so don't forget, if you do appreciate

(10:45):
and make more people aware of their true potential, let's reconnect tomorrow my friend,

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.
