Stop Worrying
For many of us, we can spend precious time worrying about issues that are unlikely to happen or unimportant in the great scheme of things. This recording will guide you down into a natural state of emotional and physical relaxation and offer positive suggestions to dissolve these unwanted, unneeded thought patterns and replace them with positive, beneficial thoughts that help find solutions and answers. This 38-minute recording has a "wake or sleep" ending.

Already your breathing has slowed.
Your heart rate has slowed.
And your body is starting to benefit from some slow,
Deep relaxation.
Any unnecessary,

As you sink deeper and deeper,
I'm going to talk to your unconscious mind about a matter of importance.
Importance to you.
You are listening to this recording because you have decided to stop worrying.
You have decided to regain control over worrying.
You have decided to reclaim your power over unnecessary,
Unneeded worrying thoughts.
In this deeply relaxed state,
Your unconscious mind is aware of what you have decided.
And that wonderful unconscious mind of yours is accessing all its skills,
Resources and abilities to help once and for all dissolve those unwanted,
Tiresome,
Troublesome worrying thoughts.
Your unconscious mind knows that there are certain thoughts that are necessary.
Thoughts that lead us to positive action.
Thoughts that help us see solutions to problems.
Thoughts that get in touch with our resources,
Skills and abilities.
But your unconscious mind is also aware of repetitive worrying thoughts that are based around unlikely events.
Where the probability of your worries happening in real life is tiny.
And your unconscious mind is also aware of repetitive worrying thoughts that are based around unimportant issues.
Where what you are concerned about is trivial and not worth the energy you're giving it.
Your unconscious mind knows that these two types of worrying thoughts,
The unlikely and the unimportant,
Make up the majority of most people's worrying thoughts.
Your powerful unconscious mind is,
From this very moment on,
Starting to notice the flow of those thoughts.
And is noticing the unimportant worrying thoughts,
The unlikely worrying thoughts,
And is starting right now,
In this very moment,
To easily,
Effortlessly dissolve them.
Your unconscious mind knows how to do this.
Your unconscious mind now dissolving the unwanted,
Unimportant worrying thoughts.
Your unconscious mind now dissolving the unwanted,
Unlikely worrying thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is dissolving the unimportant worrying thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is dissolving the unlikely worrying thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is removing the colour from these unwanted thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is removing the sounds from these unwanted thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is removing the energy from these unwanted thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is removing the feelings from these unwanted thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is removing the memories from these unwanted thoughts.
Dissolving the unimportant worrying thoughts.
Dissolving the unlikely worrying thoughts.
So I want you to understand that in the past,
You had those tiresome,
Negative,
Unlikely,
Unimportant thoughts.
But from this moment on,
As your unconscious mind continues its work now,
I want you to know that these thoughts are now in the past.
No longer a part of you.
No longer a part of you.
They're just a memory.
A dissolving,
Disappearing,
Dim,
Distant memory.
And,
As the unwanted,
Unimportant worrying thoughts are dissolving into the past,
And the unneeded,
Unlikely worrying thoughts are dissolving into the past,
You're beginning to realize now how much time and energy and focus went into maintaining those thoughts.
Become aware now of how much more time you have for positive,
Constructive thoughts.
Become aware of how much more energy you have now for positive,
Constructive thoughts.
Become aware now of how much focus you have for positive,
Constructive thoughts.
From this moment on,
This extra focus,
This extra time,
This extra energy is used for positive solutions.
Positive thoughts.
Your unconscious mind is now free to use all its resources,
Skills,
And abilities to create solutions.
Real world solutions.
And as your mind,
With its extra time,
Energy,
And focus begins to create solutions,
And also things that,
In the past,
Used to cause you discomfort or unease,
Now simply wash over you.
You feel so much more in control of your thoughts.
You feel so much more in control of your actions.
So,
From this moment on,
If you hear or see or think something that,
In the past,
May have caused you concern or worrying thoughts,
You take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
You let go the concerns.
You let go the past habits.
You dissolve the past worries.
And as that happens,
You feel a weight being lifted from you.
As if a burden is being released.
And you remember that you are in control.
You remember now that you are creating solutions.
And as you start to see the results of your freedom from worrying,
And as your mind moves to more positive,
Creative solutions,
And as you start to remain more and more in control of your thoughts,
You're noticing beneficial shifts.
Your mind is calmer and clearer.
You're more relaxed.
You're more relaxed not only in your mind and body,
But more relaxed about yourself,
About the world around you.
You're falling asleep quicker.
Sleeping deeper and longer.
Because of this,
You're more energized during the day.
You have more patience.
You're more positive and optimistic.
And it does feel as if a weight has been lifted from you.
As if a burden has been removed.
Allowing you to live your life in a way that is so much happier,
Healthier,
And positive.
Living life in a way that is so much more satisfying.
Satisfying to you.
As we near the end of this recording,
You can make a choice whether to wake up or drift further down into sleep.
If you wish to wake up in a moment or two,
I'll count from one to ten.
And you can slowly bring yourself back to full awakened sensations.
At five,
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
At eight,
Gently open your eyes.
And then you'll be fully back,
Rested,
Refreshed,
And wide awake,
Re-energized,
Refocused.
If however you wish to fall asleep and continue sleeping,
Simply ignore me counting from one to ten.
And you can drift deeper down into relaxation.
So if you wish to end this session now,
Start bringing yourself back up.
One,
Two,
Three,
Waking up.
Four,
Five,
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Waking up.
Six,
Seven,
Eight.
Open your eyes.
Nine,
Ten,
Wide awake.
Wide awake.
And if you wish to continue drifting down into sleep,
You can do so now.
Simply drifting deeper.
Drifting deeper down.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Drifting deeper.
Deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.
Deeper and deeper asleep.

No one’s voice is as… Andrew’s voice calms me seriously like no other’s. I’m able to sink into such a relaxed state and nearly always able to fall back asleep and wake up refreshed after a bout of insomnia. Seriously love his meditations.
