Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in. This is calming anxiety, your moment for daily
guided meditation, a beautiful affirmation that reunites mind, body and soul.
So find your quiet place somewhere you won't be disturbed,

(00:21):
Somewhere relaxing. To sit or lie down and just close
your eyes and with your thoughts your imagination, expand your
awareness now and touch the rhythm of your breathing. Open

(00:44):
your mind to the shifting sensations of each and every breath.
To be mindful as you inhale, to connect intimately with
each subtle change of feeling as your rib cage expands,

(01:11):
as you draw deep within your lungs, each moment of life,
of hope, of endless possibilities. Feel it all, and then
be mindful of the pause between every inn and out breath.

(01:37):
And now, as you exhale, you open your awareness to
the simple beauty of breathing out of total release and relaxation,

(01:58):
and you allow yourself now this gift of time, to
drift deeply, safely within the sanctuary of your consciousness, being
aware of all the muscle fibers around your shoulders, your chest,

(02:22):
as they unwind, as they loosen, as they lengthen relax
now drifting deeper and deeper and deeper still into this natural, beautiful,

(02:46):
trance like state, letting the tension just melt away, floating
in this beautiful mode, moment of time to heal, to reset,

(03:07):
to truly reunite mind and body, imbalance. A new sense
of acceptance of clarity to the way you think, feel,
and react flows through the monologue of your thoughts. Breathing

(03:36):
love and hope, Exhale the doubts, those moments of panic
and fear of stress, find true balance and self worth
deep within, deeper and deeper and deeper still with every outbreath,

(04:09):
truly allow yourself to unwind and to grow in self worth,
in confidence, in control over all that you are, so
that now, within the beauty and balance of your thoughts,

(04:33):
of your imagination, you can focus on these powerful words
of permanent positive change, seeing them bright powerful in your
mind's eye, to repeat them softly, yet with intent and belief.

(04:55):
On every exhalation. Relax, unwind, imagine, and repeat. I release
the need for perfection, I release the need for perfection.

(05:32):
I release the need for perfection. I release the need
for perfection, And still deeper and deeper you feel yourself drifting,

(06:05):
bonding with all of your strengths, loving all that you are,
Exhale all of the tension and self doubt, breathing courage, excitement, ambition,
and then once more visualize these beautiful words on every

(06:31):
outbreath and repeat, A release the need for perfection, AH,
release the need for perfection. A release the need for perfection.

(07:14):
AH release the need for perfection. Further and further down,
just to feel. Imagine any moments of self doubt, of

(07:36):
tension just melting away as you exhale a warm comfort
feeling descending over all that you are, this moment of
time to heal and find balance within the beauty of

(07:59):
your soul. Relax, unwind, imagine and repeat. I release the
need for perfection. A release the need for perfection. I

(08:37):
release the need for perfection. A release the need for perfection,

(09:00):
and just drift now, intimately connecting with the subtle nuance
of every shifting sensation within and around your chest, feeling
love growing deep within your soul, letting go of the

(09:23):
negative anchors of your past, because simply put, you are worthy.
Now take a deep, deep intake of breath and time
now to refocus your mind, to reorientate your thoughts to

(09:43):
the joy and infinite beauty of the world around you outside.
Now take another deep breath. From this time, completely fill
your lungs up, and then stretch out those muscles in
your arms and legs. Big stretch, and now open your
eyes and smile. Thank you for putting your faith in trust,

(10:06):
in calming anxiety. I wish you a joyous day opening
your eyes to your true potential. Loving you first, building
on all that you've been through, take care of my friend.
Let's reconnect tomorrow. And then, as always, in every thought, word,

(10:31):
in action, it's simple. Be kind,
