Welcome to House of Wellbeing.

This guided meditation audio will use powerful techniques to help you sink into a deep state of relaxation.

So please be sure that wherever you're listening to this audio you're in a safe and comfortable place free from distractions where you can fully relax and let go.

Please make sure you're sitting or lying comfortably in a place where you're free from interruption where you can focus only on yourself and enjoy this time just for you.

Should you need to open your eyes at any time your subconscious mind will alert you and you'll easily come out of this beautiful state of relaxation.

But for now make sure your head is fully supported and that you're as comfortable as you can be as you gently close your eyes and begin your journey of enhanced physical and mental wellbeing.

Find a comfortable place removed from interruptions.

Maybe on a bed or in a comfy chair and close your eyes.

Now I want you to take a long deep breath in.

Hold it for a count of four.

And then breathe out to a count of six.

And again take a long deep breath in to a count of four.

Hold it for a count of four.

And then breathe out to a count of six.

And when you're ready I'd like you to imagine yourself in a room somewhere.

Perhaps it's your bedroom or a favourite room of yours.

Wherever it is you love it here.

It's a place you feel relaxed,

Calm and at peace.

As you walk into the room you notice it's dim.

There isn't much light but it's lovely and quiet.

So quiet that you can hear your feet as you slowly walk around.

You reach for a cupboard or drawer and pull out a candle and match.

You carefully light the candle and blow out the match as you place the candle on a table in front of you.

The flickering flame gives off a beautiful soft glow,

Gently illuminating the room,

Giving you a warm and soothing feeling inside.

You take a seat opposite the candle and watch it flickering,

Becoming fixated by the flame.

You feel so calm and relaxed watching the flame.

You notice all of its beautiful colours,

Yellow,

Orange,

Perhaps you can also see red,

Purple and blue.

Every time the flame moves it looks like it's dancing,

Teasing you with its beauty as you watch it expand and then flicker down into a smaller dance again.

You feel yourself growing calmer and calmer watching the flame.

It's as if all your worries and anxieties are melting away in the candle's warmth.

And as the candle gets warmer and warmer,

You start to see the wax slowly starting to melt down its side,

Sliding all the way down,

Deeper down.

As the candle's wax melts and relaxes,

You too relax,

Sinking further into your bed or chair,

Feeling your body getting heavier and heavier as you let go of tension,

Letting go of worries and anxieties now.

Feeling your body sliding into a deeper state of relaxation,

Letting all your worries and anxieties melt away in the candle's heat.

You keep watching the candle in the dancing flame.

When I count down from ten to one you notice that when you watch the candle,

Each time it flickers and the wax melts down the side,

You too will slide down into a state of deeper relaxation.

It's like your body and flame are in sync with one another,

Melting together into perfect relaxation.

And when the candle melts and relaxes,

You too slide deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation.

Watching now.

Ten.

Watch the wax slowly sliding down the candle,

Feeling your body sliding down into a state of deep relaxation.

Nine.

Watch the wax dripping down again.

Feel all your worries and anxieties melt away.

Eight.

Sliding down deeper down.

Seven.

Six.

Keep watching the soft wax and flickering flame as you double your relaxation.

Four.

Sliding deeper deeper down as you slide into calmness and peacefulness.

Three.

Feel your body releasing any tension,

Letting go now.

Two.

Watch the cascading wax and the dancing flame as you slide down,

Down into relaxation.

And one as you watch another drop of wax drip down.

You feel total relaxation from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

You notice now that the candle has been getting smaller and smaller and soon the wick will flicker and go out.

And when it does,

The room will go dark and this will be a signal for you to enter the deepest state of relaxation that's possible for you.

I'll give you a minute now to watch the candle as it gets lower and lower,

Smaller and smaller and finally flickers out.

Leaving you in darkness and calmness,

Stillness,

Feeling safe and total peace.

You are now in a deep state of relaxation and I'd like to speak directly to your subconscious mind which often tries to protect us by keeping us in old out-of-date patterns.

I would like to thank your subconscious mind for doing such a great job of protecting you but it's okay to open up to new suggestions and opportunities.

You no longer need out-of-date emotions that no longer serve you.

Today your subconscious mind is open to receiving new and positive suggestions.

We all know that when we're grateful we are happier,

Emotionally healthier and more optimistic.

And we all have many things to be grateful for.

Family,

Close friends,

Health,

A roof over your head,

A career,

Whatever it may be.

Perhaps you're grateful for your pets or listening to this audio here today.

It's important to take time to appreciate moments when you're grateful.

And the perfect time is when you first wake up in the morning.

So before your feet swing out of bed,

Before you look at your phone or go on social media or do anything else I'd like you to think of three things that you're grateful for.

You may choose to have a pen and paper by your bed and write them down or perhaps you prefer to just think of them and make a mental note.

There are no rules about what you can be grateful for other than being honest.

Being honest with yourself,

That's truly something you appreciate,

That you're truly grateful for.

The act of reminding yourself of these three things,

Big or small,

Each day results in you waking up feeling more positive,

Confident,

Content,

Happy and full of joy.

Life is a blessing and you're honoured for the role you play in this journey.

You tell yourself not to be picky,

Recognising that there's nothing too small for you to be grateful for.

Gratitude is not only about being thankful for all the positive experiences.

You realise there's a lot to learn from difficult or challenging situations that teach you to be more grateful.

Perhaps you would like to start a journal,

Keeping track of what you're grateful for each day and how your gratitude changes and grows over time.

For some the key to being more grateful is to give back to others,

Helping you to be more grateful for the things you take for granted that others may not have.

You spend more time with loved ones,

Helping you to practice your acts of gratitude on people that you care about.

Being grateful makes you happy and being happy also makes you more grateful.

You engage in doing things you love each and every day,

Putting yourself first,

Making sure you get plenty of rest and sleep and that you eat well,

Looking after yourself better now.

Each morning you feel so lucky,

So grateful that you have the most incredible day ahead of you.

Wrapping up feeling grateful is a beautiful way to kickstart your day,

Full of gratitude,

Love and appreciation.

A life well lived,

Full of gratitude and thankfulness.

You are blessed,

A new day awaits full of possibilities.

All these positive messages are now firmly embedded in your subconscious mind and they'll grow stronger and stronger day by day.

Stronger by the day,

Stronger by the hour and stronger by the minute.

And when you're ready,

You'll gently emerge from your state of relaxation,

Open your eyes,

Feeling fully awake,

Refreshed and alert.
