But now find your quiet place to sit, to lie down where you won't be disturbed for a while and simply close your eye and then with your imagination focus on the sound of my voice and then expand your awareness to connect, to explore, to appreciate the rhythmic rise and fall of every breath.

A moment to truly connect, intimately and understand every subtle sensation within and around your chest of every breath and the power that can from this gives you to be mindful as you breathe in, how your ribcage rises, the way it expands, the feeling of every breath filling your lungs with life, with passion, with ambition and maybe also being aware, the feeling of your clothing pressing against the skin of your chest between the rives and fall of every breath. The subtle change in pressure around your upper back, your shoulders as they rest against the chair or bed in which you lie. Let your thoughts meander aimlessly around your chest, your shoulders, taking note of how these feelings change, the ebb and flow of every breath.

Let's now deeply and safely further and further down, deeper and deeper and deeper still so that with every out breath you become aware of the beauty of relaxation, of true release.

As you let go of the tension of the day, the moments of panic, of doubt or fear, the negative thoughts that hold you back from your true potential, from happiness, understanding and enjoyment, allow all the moment of doubt, of darkness to just drift away with every out breath and relax and unwind as if your beautiful mind was floating further and further down to a state of harmony, a natural, trance like state, balance, centered, a new sense of clarity to your thoughts flow through every part of your consciousness so that has you one wine, as you allow yourself to truly heal in your mind's eye now. You can repeat, visualize, feel these wonderful words of positive change so without moving your jaw, your lips and your tongue, imagine and repeat. I nurture my soul with gentle care.

Deeper and deeper, you feel yourself unwinding, your thoughts drifting, balanced, being restored, exhale all of the tension, a moment of regret and then once more, visualize and repeat.

Calm and relaxed within the sanctuary of your consciousness taking back control, connecting with all that you are, growing daily with every thought, with every interaction, in strength, courage and self-worth, relax, unwind, imagine and repeat.

So that when stress, when negativity, rears its head, you connect once more with your thoughts, with your breathing and with every exhalation you take back control, you allow stress to pass you by and for calmness to flow through every thought. Relax, deeper and deeper. Feel your breathing once more in this connected intimate state.

Feel the power of unwinding as you breathe out. Relax now. Now take a deep, deep intake of breath and time now to reorientate your mind, your thoughts and focus to the challenge and the infinite beauty of the world outside. Take another deep breath now filling your lungs completely to the very top and now stretching out those muscles in your arms and legs and open your eye and smile and well done.

Truly well done for looking after you today but putting your needs first. Heal yourself in hell pervance. Have a great day my friend, as always positive thoughts, smile in the mirror. Feel how that makes you change when you smile no matter what you're going through and then as a way in everything we do.

Be kind. (soft music)
