Speaker 1: Hi there, Welcome to the Calming Anxiety Podcast. Simply ten minutes of daily guided meditation and with a catalog of well over two thousand sessions to explore. Why not subscribe and find your ideal moment of calm today. Find your place where you won't be disturbed, somewhere company to sit or lie down, Close your eyes and focus now on the rithmic rise and form of every breath. To expand your awareness and truly intimately feel every part of every breath to the exclusion of all other thoughts. To be mindful as you inhale of the way your rib cage expands and rises, the feeling on the surface of your skin as it brushes against the fabric of clothing, the ever changing pressure of your back against the chair or bed on which you now rest, or simply the sensation of air passing through your nose. Or imagine your lungs filling with every moment of life, with every dream, with every ambition, however you imagine is perfect just for you.
In breath after in breath, visualize your lungs filling with cleansing energy, sparkling with life. To be mindful of the transition between the inn and the outbreath, so that now with every exhalation, you open your awareness to the simple joy, the pleasure of unwinding, of release, as if sinking down into the bed or chair, as if a warm, weighted feeling what's flowing through the very core of your soul, your arms and legs feeling tired and heavy, yet not restless. Outbreath after outbreath, imagine yourself drifting deeper and deeper and deeper still into mindful tranquility, relax and unwind further and further down, relax now and within the beauty of your imagination.
I wonder if you could see yourself somewhere beautiful, safe, relaxing, just you, surrounded by positivity, by health and happiness, joyous memories placed around you, within the sanctuary of your consciousness.
With every outbreath, this vision becomes more real, becomes more of who you are, bringing you peace and calm in times of angst or worry. And then within this space, on every outbreath, you see these wonderful, powerful, positive words, and as you are exhale they shine brightly. You speak them softly to yourself and hold them in your heart, so relaxed, unwine imagine and repeat. I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath.
I choose calm over case with every breath. And still, deeper and deeper, within your magical place of change, you imagine yourself drifting, relax, unwine, loving all that you are.
Imagine and repeat. I choose calm over chaos with every breath.
I choose calm over chaos with every breath. Ah, I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath. Further and further you allow yourself to drift, relax, unwine, drift, deeply, visualize and repeat.
I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath. I choose calm over chaos with every breath, and within the space of time, within this moment in your thoughts, feel your breathing once more and appreciate. With every focused conscious thought on your outbreath, you take back control. You calm the wave of negativity or worry, and you set yourself free from the negative anchors of your past, because, simply put, you are worthy. Now take a deep intake of breath and time to reorientate your mind to the challenge, the joy, and the infinite wonder of the world that surrounds us. Take another deep breath, this time completely inflating your lungs to the very top. And now stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs. Big stretch, and then open your eyes. Smile. Never give up hope for you wherever you are, whatever you may be facing and being challenged with, always move forward. Understand there will always be setbacks, you will have those down days, but love all that you are. Let's reconnect tomorrow, my friend.
Smile often, positive thoughts whenever you can, and then in every thought, word and deed, be kind.
