Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello there, Welcome in. This is calming anxiety. Ten minutes
of simple guided meditation to soothe the soul, to let
go of negativity and doubt. If you've just found this show,
subscribe now and make mindfulness part of your daily routine.

(00:23):
But now find your quiet place, somewhere comfy to sit
or lie down, whichever you prefer. Headphones as well, if
you wish, And then close your eyes and with your wonderful,
powerful imagination, expand your awareness now to feel, to explore,

(00:53):
to appreciate the changing feeling within and around your chair,
of every breath, of every moment. To tune in and
be mindful now of how your rib cage expands outwards,

(01:14):
rising to draw deep within your lungs every moment of life,
of energy, of hope and ambition. To be aware of
the feelings around your upper back as it presses against

(01:36):
the chair or bed in which you reside, or maybe
the sensation and the skin of your chest pressing against
the fabric of clothing. But then as you exhale, to
now become aware intimately of the beauty, the natural splendor

(02:03):
of relief, of mindful and physical relaxation. Imagining all the
small muscle fibers around your chest, your shoulders. As they unwine,
they lengthen, and you exhale that beautiful feeling, that deep

(02:28):
sigh that flows to the core of your soul every outbreath,
allowing yourself to connect with this sensation on a deeper
level like never before. Relax now deeply, safely in this natural,

(02:56):
trance like state, just you, the rise and form of
every breath, the sound of my voice and the beat
of your heart, this moment in your day, your lifeline

(03:20):
to let go of negativity and down to truly deeply
connect mind and body in unison, in harmony. Relax now
deeper and deeper and deeper, still, truly feel that sensation

(03:49):
of letting go as you breathe out. Maybe imagine it intensifying,
rising and falling in unison with their every breath, becoming
your soul focused. And then to imagine it cascading outwards

(04:09):
from your chest, through your shoulders, your arms, down through
your stomach, your hips and legs, covering all that you are,
bathing you in an aura of relaxation, further and further
down now every moment, every breath, so that as you

(04:37):
find balance a new sense of clarity within the monologue
of your mind. You can imagine these wonderful, powerful words
of positivity on every outbreath, repeating them, feeling them yet
not moving your jaw, your lips, and your tongue, seeing

(04:59):
them right in your imagination. So relaxed, un whine, Visualize
and repeat, I am now steady and balanced in any storm.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I am now steady and balanced in any storm. I
am now steady and balanced in any storm. I am

(05:45):
now steady and balanced in any storm. Deeper and deeper
you allow your thoughts to drift more in connection with
all that you are. Feel these words, imagine the echo

(06:10):
of them drifting down to entwine itself into the fabric
of your soul. So relaxed, unwine, Visualize and repeat, I
am now steady am balanced in any storm. I am

(06:38):
now steady a balanced in any storm. I am now
steady and balanced in any storm. I now steady and

(07:01):
balanced in any storm. Further and further you drift, you
become one with all that you are, imbalanced in harmony,
in love with who you are, growing daily in confidence,

(07:27):
self respect, focus, and understanding. Relaxed, unwine, visualized and repeat,
I am now steady and balanced in any storm. I

(07:53):
am now steady and balanced in any storm. I am
now steady and balanced in any storm. I am now

(08:15):
steady and balanced in any storm. And now simply float
weightless and timer and the beauty of your consciousness, intimately

(08:36):
connecting once more with the rhythm, the sensations of each
and every breath, and loving all that you are. Relax
feel every moment. Now take a deep, deep intake of

(08:59):
breath and time now to reorientate your mind, your thoughts,
and focus to the infinite beauty of the world that
surrounds you. Take another deep breath, now, filling your lungs
completely to the very top. Now stretching out those muscles
in your arms and legs, and open your eyes and smile,

(09:22):
and thank you for joining in with me today on
our combined journey of discovery, self improvement, self empowerment, and
learning to appreciate all that we have, no matter what
we've been through what are going through. Remember, life isn't fair,

(09:43):
but how you choose to deal with adversity will define
your future happiness. There will be lips along the way.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
We all have those days when we feel like giving up,
but they'll become less frequent and you'll bounce back quicker.
Take care, my friend, love who you are, and above all,
be kind.
