You've been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders for long enough. The noise outside doesn't have to be the noise inside. Welcome to calming anxiety. I'm your host Martin.
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and creator of these shows. There's over 2,000 to choose from, so find your perfect moment of calm within. For the next 10 minutes, we aren't just going to think about being calm. We are going to signal safety directly to your body because you choose to be calm in a world of noise.
So find your quiet place today, somewhere comfy where you can sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed for a while. Close your eyes. Let's begin by finding your breath, not a false breath, but a natural deep expansion.
Inhale for 4, 3, 2, 1. Hold for 2 and now a long, sighing exhale for 6. Feel the air move. Let's do that once more.
Inhale 3, 2, 1. Hold 2. Exhale 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Let your breathing find its own natural rhythm. Now let's scan the body. Let's start at the crown of your head. Imagine a warm wave of relaxation like summer sunshine flowing down over your brow, over your eyes.
Felting away the tension in your jaw. Down through your neck, dropping your shoulders now further, there it is. Move that awareness down through your chest, feeling its soften. Relax your belly.
Inhale in the small muscle fibers in and around your lower back, just being massaged by the in and the out breath. This wave of calm relaxation flows onwards through your hips and into your thighs.
Feel the weight of the chair or the bed beneath you with every out breath. Relax deeper and deeper. Imagine yourself melting into the surface beneath you. The weight of gravity, taking away the tension and the stress.
The wave of calm relaxation once more moving through your knees into your shins and calves, soothing away the tension and finally flowing onwards through your ankles through the arch of both feet and to the tips of every toe. Relax, allow yourself to truly unwind.
I want you now if you can to visualize a glass sphere around you outside the world's chaotic, shifting colors, loud sounds, endless demands. As they hit the glass and slide off, you remain inside calm. It is silent. It is your sanctuary of safety.
And within this moment of mindful balance, of understanding within the beauty of your mind's eye, visualize and repeat these words, feeling them, seeing them.
And with every out breath, with every repetition, truly relax, ever deeper.
I am the calm center of my own life.
The noise of the world cannot penetrate my peace.
I am safe, I am grounded, I am here. I wonder what color you visualized each word.
Now relax, feel your grip cage, rise and expand as you inhale. And with every out breath, truly allow any negativity to flow out like a gravest to be carried away by a gentle breeze, to leave mind, body and soul in balance.
And then once more in your beautiful mind, imagine these words, whisper or silently within your own thoughts. I am the calm center of my own life.
The noise of the world cannot penetrate my peace.
I am safe, I am grounded, I am here.
I am the calm center of my own life.
The noise of the world cannot penetrate my peace.
I am safe, I am grounded, I am here.
And just be now drifting in this singular moment of time in your life as you take back control over the way you think, feel and react. You are worthy of change, you are allowed to be more than your past because simply put, you are worthy. And before we rejoin the day, here are your three tips for a karma life. Then the two minute tech fast, every three hours put your phone in a draw, two minutes of pure silence.
Two, the peripheral gains, when feeling anxious, soften your eyes and try to see the far corners of the room. But physically switches off the fight or flight response. And three, the not mind mantra. When you hear bad news or loud demand silently say that is noise, but it is not mind.
You are ready for the day, not because the world changed, but because you did. So gently wiggle your things and toes, feel the world coming back online. Take a deep breath in and on the out-wraith stretch out those muscles in your arms and legs. And gently open your eyes.
