Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in to the Calming Anxiety Podcast. Ten minutes of
gentle daily guided meditation to soothe your soul. As always,
if you're new to this channel, subscribe now, as there's
a new show every day of the year. That moment

(00:21):
of time out and for all my regulars, thank you
so much. Now find your quiet place, somewhere comfy to
sit or lie down, somewhere relaxing where you won't be
disturbed for a while. Headphones as well if you prefer,

(00:44):
and simply close your eye and with your imagination. Now
it's that time to connect. It's a beautiful, almost hypnotic
rhythm of the rise and form of every breath, a

(01:07):
moment to connect with all that you are, mind, body, soul,
in balance, in perfect harmony. So feel your breathing now,
connecting intimately, appreciating, exploring the shifting sensations as you inhale

(01:38):
as your chest your ribcade expand outwards, rising to fill
the space deep within your lungs with every moment of hope,
of love, of positivity. To be aware of how these

(02:00):
sensations change with every moment, To imagine life filling your
lungs up and then on the outbreath to let go,
to allow the moments of doubt, of panic, of fear

(02:25):
or sadness, allow them all just to melt away, fading
from thought, from memory, and let your mind now become aware,
blissfully of that sense of release as the small fibers

(02:51):
around your chest, your shoulders, they let go and unwind,
they loosen and lay your chest lowers, you exhale doubt
and negativity, and truly appreciate that sense of blissful relaxation

(03:17):
flowing through your chest, your shoulders, your neck, descending through
you to the core of your soul, to allow you
to one whine, just be drifting in this moment, within

(03:41):
the security the safety of your imagination, letting go of
troubles of regret. Relax now deeper and deeper and deeper still,

(04:03):
imagine yourself surrounded by an aura of comfort, of protection.
Exhale all the negativity of the day, all of the stress,
the worries, the moments that hold you back, and so

(04:29):
as you find a state of understanding of balance and
harmony within your thoughts, within your own imagination. Now visualize
these wonderful words, speaking them softly within your thoughts, without

(04:50):
moving your jaw, your lips, or your tongue, but seeing
them as bold and bright as you could possibly imagine.
Maybe imagine being on a beach, or up in the mountains,
or in the great open expanse, where the horizon drifts

(05:11):
on forever, and you can see yourself speaking these words
and seeing them wherever you look. So on every outbreath,
imagine and repeat, I am a source of calm and

(05:31):
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and

(05:51):
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and
comfort to myself. And relax even deeper now, I wonder

(06:14):
you could imagine being completely, deeply, eternally in tune with
all that you are. How that would feel? But once more, exhale,
visualize and repeat, I am a source of calm and

(06:40):
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and

(07:00):
comfort to myself. I am a source of calm and
comfort to myself. Deeper and deeper you allow yourself to drift,

(07:22):
to unwine, to let go of regret of sadness. Relax now,
unwine did really and repeat, I am a source of

(07:43):
calm and comfort to myself. I am a source of
calm and comfort to myself. I am a source of

(08:03):
calm and comfort to myself. I am a source of
calm and comfort to myself. And now just float within

(08:25):
the beauty the safety of your imagination. Truly connect, feel
in this wonderful state of being with every moment of
every breath, timeless, weightless, growing daily in confidence, in positivity,

(08:52):
in focus, in ambition, because simply put, you are worthy.
Now take it deep, deep, and take a breath and
time now to reorientate your mind, your focus and thoughts

(09:12):
to the challenges, the joy, and the infinite beauty of
the world outside. Take another deep breath now, this time
filling your lungs completely to the very very top. And
now stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs
and open your eyes and smile. Hey, thank you for

(09:33):
taking care of you, though we may never meet or
know each other, truly, thank you for looking after your soul,
for taking back control. Now, have as good it as
you can. Don't give up. There will be setbacks. Life

(09:54):
isn't fair, life isn't perfect. But make the most when
you can allow yourself those dark days where you stay
in bed, the normal. We all get them, but bounce
back quicker, more positive. Let's reconnect tomorrow, my friend. Smile

(10:14):
often positive thoughts, and then in everything, it's simple. Be kind,
