Welcome to the calming anxiety podcast. 10 minutes of daily guided meditation with a back catalogue of over 2000 for you to explore. So find your perfect moment of calm, subscribe and enjoy. Now find somewhere quiet today where you can lie down or sit whichever you prefer.

Headphones as well if you like and just close your eyes now so that with your beautiful mind you can connect and explore the almost hypnotic rhythm of the rise and fall of each and every breath. A moment of time to find peace and balance within the turmoil of modern life.

So feel your breathing like never before to understand and appreciate as you inhale the small changes in sensations maybe around your lower back, your shoulders or simply to take note of the passage of air passing through your nose that your mind run free exploring different parts of every breath but with every exhalation unwind and relax.

Each out breath a beautiful sigh that touches the core of your soul with peace, with balance, with understanding, exhale all the stress of the day, the moments of panic of self-doubt, of annoyance or regret, whatever they may be, allow them now to melt away and leave the thoughts within your mind in a balanced state, calmness flowing through the very monologue of your consciousness. Breathe out all the tension and relax and unwind deeply, safely, drifting deeper and deeper and deeper still as if your body was whiteness as if time stood still and you find a new connection of mind and body, relax and unwind now and maybe just imagine visualizing this single word repeating it softly as you start to exhale, relax, feel that word in your thoughts as you breathe out, relax, imagine that feeling around your shoulders spreading outwards through all of your chest down every limb through every thought, relax, deeper and deeper and deeper now, relax and unwind, allow every fibre in your being to loosen and lengthen, relax deeply and safely so that in the beauty of your mind's eye, with every out-grest now you can picture these new words repeating them firmly yet softly in your thoughts, moving onto them, embracing them and letting them be part of who you are without thought, so relax now, unwind, visualise and repeat, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, maybe imagine picturing yourself in your favourite place of contemplation, maybe a beach, maybe some woodland or high in the mountain or watching the most beautiful sunset, but as you see yourself there, you see these words written all around you with every repetition, let them guide you, let them be part of who you are, so relax once more, exhale, visualise and repeat, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, deeper and deeper, you continue to drift, to find your moment of mindful balance, tranquillity within your mind, within your soul, relax, ever deeper, imagine and repeat, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, I cherish myself with every heartbeat and breath, and now simply drift and float, in the moment, in your beautiful mind, growing daily with every thought, with every interaction with the world around you, opening your soul to your true potential and setting yourself free from the negativity of balance in your path, because so simply put, you are worthy.

Now time to take a deep, deep intake breath, and now to start reorientating your mind to the challenges and the infinite beauty of the world that surrounds you outside, and now another deep breath in this time completely fully lungs up, and then stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs, waking your body up, and then eyes open and smile.

I don't ask for much, I travel around the UK, helping others find themselves and run this podcast. It doesn't make much, in fact it makes very little, I don't take sponsors, there are ads at the front in the end, I have no way of saying what they are, so yeah, but that's my little speech. I could ramble on forever. I'm sat here by a reservoir in the picturesque district in the UK on a very chilly day, but I'm connecting because I'm talking to you.

Take care my friend, let's reconnect tomorrow, smile often, and as always, be kind. [Music] [Music]
