Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hie there and welcome in. This is calming anxiety your
moment for ten minutes of gentle guided meditation. So if
you're new, consider subscribing and making mindfulness part of your
daily routine. Now it's time to find your quiet place
(00:26):
to day, somewhere relaxing where you won't be disturbed. To
sit or lie down headphones as well if you wish,
and just close your eyes and with your thoughts, your imagination.
(00:48):
It's time to experience, to explore, to connect with the
beautiful rhythm of the eyes, pause, and form of every
breath a moment in your day. To appreciate the beauty
(01:16):
the wonder of intimately connecting and appreciating the simple act
of each and every breath. To truly feel each passing moment.
(01:36):
To take note of the subtle shift in changing sensations
as you inhale as your chest your rib cage expands
rising upwards, the feelings on the surface of your skin
(02:01):
against the fabric of clothing, the sensations in and around
your shoulders, the changing pressure of your upper back against
the bed or chair on which you rest. Let your
(02:22):
mind meander at will or aimlessly, taking note in these
differences between each inn and out press and allow yourself,
now this gift of time, to completely mindfully physically relax
(02:53):
and let go of the negative moments, those moments of doubt,
of panic, or fear, of sadness or regret. Bundle them
all up within your thoughts as you inhale, and then
(03:19):
on every outbreath release them, to feel them evaporating from
the very surface of your skin, To exhale them and
visualize them as they drift away from your mind and body,
(03:45):
and to leave the monolog within your own thoughts in
a state of balance of acceptance and clarity, and relax
now deeper and deeper and deeper still with every exhalation,
(04:15):
just you this moment within your day, as if your
consciousness was floating further and further down, safe and secure,
so that in your mind's eye, as you find balance
(04:39):
and solitude deep within, you can visualize these powerful positive
words of permanent change, repeating them softly within your own
thoughts on every outbreath, feel them, repeat them and see
(05:02):
them in your mind. So relaxed, deeply, safely visualize and repeat,
I am safely held by the unfolding journey of my own life.
(05:26):
I am safely held by the unfolding journey of my
own life. I am safely held by the unfolding journey of
my own life. I am safely held by the unfolding journey
(05:58):
of my own life. And deeper and deeper, you continue
in allowing yourself to one wide to find balance and
peace within all that you are. So relax, drift, deeply, imagine,
(06:26):
and repeat, I am safely held by the unfolding journey
of my own life. I am safely held by the
unfolding journey of my own life. I am safely held
(06:55):
by the unfolding journey of my own life. I am
safely held by the unfolding journey of my own life.
(07:16):
Further and further you feel yourself drifting, reuniting your mind,
body and soul and perfect balance, so that day by day,
week after week, month followed by month, you understand your
(07:40):
new found abilities to react and feel with balance and clarity.
So relax once more, visualize, and repeat, I am safely
held by the unfolding journey of my own life. I
(08:07):
am safely held by the unfolding journey of my own life.
I am safely held by the unfolding journey of my
own life. I am safely held by the unfolding journey
(08:38):
of my own life and simply drift, floating in balance,
in acceptance. Feel your breathing once more in this intimate state,
(08:59):
Feel the power of mindful exhalation, so that in the future,
when faced with panic, with stress, with doubt or fear,
connecting with the outbreath will calm your soul. Now take
(09:19):
it deep, intake of breath, and time now to reorientate
your mind, to refocus on the challenge, the joy, and
the infinite beauty of the world outside. Take another deep breath, now,
full your lungs right to the very very top. And
now let's stretch out those muscles in your arms and
legs and open your eyes and smile. Always smile. Practice
(09:45):
smiling even at the lowest of your world, in the
darkest of your days. It may be just what you
need to help you move forward. Thank you for putting
your faith and trust in all that I do as
I say. If you're new or haven't yet, please do subscribe.
(10:08):

shows to choose from, so enjoy having a look through
and trying them all out. If you'd like something slightly different.

(10:28):

the world around me and trying to spread a little
bit more kind, positivity and happiness. Take care, my friend,

and action, be kind.
