Now find your quiet place, that relaxing spot where you can sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed. Time now to close your eye and with your thoughts, your imagination, expand your awareness to connect, to explore the shifting sensation around your chest of every breath. This moment in your day, a gift of time to heal, to reset, to truly reconnect, mind, body and song in blissful harmony. So feel each breath, each fleeting moment with your mind, taking note of how they change with the rise, the pause and fall of every breath and allow yourself to let go of stress, of anxiety, of the moments of panic that turn that knot in the small of your stomach, allow all the darkness and fear to evaporate from the surface of your skin and feel yourself now as if drifting deeply into a natural, dance like state, deeper and deeper and deeper still. Just you, this moment in your day, feel every part, moving your thoughts from one area of your chest to another, from your lowest ribs, the middle of your spine, to around your shoulders, whatever you feel and choose is ideal just for you. We are all unique but relax. Breathe out all of that tension, just imagine every muscle fiber unwinding, a warmth of comfort and relaxation flows through every fiber and you allow yourself still to float down further and further and further.
Just you, the beauty of your consciousness, safe and secure now and as you let the stress, the tension, the negative thoughts just drift away within the beauty of your mind, visualize these words, taking note of the shape of them, the color, the vibrancy in your own imagination, reading them softly in your thoughts with every out breath and then once spoken, once visual line, they wonder if you could imagine the thought of these words, writing itself into the very fabric of your soul, surrelats, unwind, visualise and repeat, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, deeper and deeper with every repetition, you continue to unwind, to find peace, to be at one with all that you are, relax, allow the tension, the negative thoughts to melt away, further and further down and once more, imagine and repeat, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, further and further, you continue to drift, more at peace, more in balance, starting to sense, a new clarity in the way you think and react, let go of all the darkness and regrets, drift now and again, visualise and repeat, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, I release self-doubt and fear with every breath, and simply drift now, in this intimate moment between self-connect once more the feelings of every breath, understanding and appreciating the power you now have within to control negativity, to control fear by connecting with your outpress, because simply put, you are worthy, now just be in this moment, now take a deep intake of breath and it's that time now to reorientate your mind, your focus to the challenge, the joy and the infinite beauty of the world outside, take another deep breath, bending your lungs right to the very top this time, now stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs and open your eyes and smile, and thank you for taking care of who you are, have a lovely day, make the most if you can, appreciate some days, we don't have it in us and these aren't setbacks they're part of day to day life, so don't give up, maybe plan another few minutes of being positive later on, take care, smile often and above all, be kind you [BLANK_AUDIO]
