Hello and welcome.
This meditation is designed to help you take that relief from anxiety.
Little deeper.
In fact.
A lot.
After having done the first anxiety relief meditation.
This will deepen those positive habits,
Those positive patterns.
Help realign ourselves into calm.
.
.
Into presence.
.
.
And really into acceptance.
Learn and touched upon.
You can feel well,
That you can feel calm.
And that you don't have to identify with those feelings of anxiety,
Those symptoms,
The tight-chestedness.
The clammy hands.
The high heart rate.
The mind fog,
The panic and the indecision.
This meditation will be returning and remembering.
The power,
The opportunity.
And the grace of our own choice.
What we wish to align with,
What we wish to experience.
My own life.
Always felt the weight of having to be perfect.
Of having to be sorted and complete.
When I realized.
It's more a question of what we wish to experience.
It really helped settle my mind.
It really helped settle my body.
More than that as that journey continued and grew within me.
It became a welcome.
About what I wanted to create.
Life I wanted to live.
.
.
And what experiences.
What pleasure!
Wish to welcome into my life.
.
.
When my anxiety was so powerful,
So consuming.
There really wasn't any room to plan for such things,
Everything was so immediate.
The danger,
The fear.
Was always there.
And I was living.
Day to day.
There's a difference from living day to day.
.
.
In that kind of caged bird feeling that we feel when we're really anxious and it flares up so violently in our lives.
That we might not want to leave the house.
Or we might not even wanna have.
Being in the moment again.
Not just being in the moment,
But seeing the connection between moments.
.
.
How am I going to get from A to B?
How am I going to make my dreams?
Reality.
So if you're sitting comfortably,
Let's begin.
Breathing in.
Breathing out into your whole body Breathing in.
Breathe.
Giving yourself credit here of how this is now easier to do.
How your practice and commitment is fostering and developing that trust within yourself.
Breathe in a bit more confidently.
.
.
Breathe out a bit more softly.
And with the breath.
Let it lead itself.
Start to allow that pleasurable feeling and experience of the breath to return.
Draw that breath deep down into your stomach and let it go as freely as you drew it in.
Draw that breath as deeply down as you possibly can.
Feeling it fill into your side.
Into your throne.
And into your back.
Breathing in.
.
.
Breathe.
Just imagining that you're sinking down.
Sinking down,
Sinking down.
Bringing your focus to the area around your belly button.
This is your kind of gut brain,
All the nerve cells that help all of the organs talk to one another.
Breathe into this place,
Start to become aware of your kidneys in your lower back Breathe into them and breathe out,
Just allowing them to get what they need.
And to really reset that adrenaline.
Like each kidney's wearing a little hat,
This is where your adrenaline's made.
Just breathing into that place.
.
.
Breathing out again.
And you might feel that as warmth,
Don't fight that warmth,
Allow it to course through you We're going deeper and deeper and deeper into that mind,
That body mind that stores the history and memory of our habits.
All of our chemical and hormonal processes just breathe in.
We're not trying to fix.
So just gently witness yourself here,
Because everything will work itself out,
Okay?
It really will.
Just trust your body's intelligence here,
Breathing in.
Breathing.
And feel how that lightness comes in your chest and allow yourself to really fill your chest right up to your collarbone as you breathe in deeply.
And let go fully.
Breathing in deeply like you're fanning flames right up into your chest from down below.
Letting go,
Sounding even if you need to.
Breathing in deeply again,
Really opening up.
And again breathing and trusting your body,
Now just for a couple of moments here,
A couple of minutes on your own,
Letting your breath find its own natural rhythm again.
Just let that calm kind of move through you.
Step back as you've trusted yourself to do so deepen that surrender.
And just breathe in,
Breathe out.
And experience what that feels like for you.
Still breathing in and breathing out.
Letting that calm roll like a strong but slow deep powerful wave within you and around.
Now to give you a bit more food for thought and how powerful this process is a subconscious level you're just deepening that trust that you do have a choice about what you experience,
That you do have a deep connection to your body,
Its responses and how you react to stress and your own monkey mind.
It's getting deeper and deeper now as you're practicing.
Really welcome you not to see this part too as a cure-all the next building block to deepen in your own relationship.
Almost befriending your anxiety.
Start to see it as a great teacher.
How it can highlight to you when you've had an adverse reaction.
Taking this first step.
.
.
Or second step in this case.
The first being that you can actually feel okay within your own body.
This part is about giving you more control,
More realization of that choice.
So practice it perhaps once a day for a week or the next couple of weeks.
Connect to that deeper breathing,
Connect to the pleasure of the breath.
Connect to that oasis that can be found in the breath where there's no need to think about anything else.
.
.
There's no need to plan or plot our way out of something,
All we need to do is breathe.
.
.
Dealing with that worry,
That immediate panic.
.
.
Feeling of being caged in your own body,
In your own mind.
We can deal with that.
You can deal with that.
And that's going to allow us to get to the deeper root.
Let me put it to you like this.
Perhaps there's something in your life.
That you want.
A desire waiting to be fulfilled.
What we're doing here.
Taking out some of that noise.
.
.
Some of that panic.
.
.
Some of that fear.
.
.
So that we might get.
.
.
Bit deeper to the depths of what we actually want.
.
.
Closer.
That hidden gem.
.
.
Truth and that desire,
That joy within us.
.
.
You're doing well,
Take it from me.
It's a brave journey.
And take it from me also.
Your life may not be the same again.
.
.
I've left a couple of minutes here at the end.
For you to breathe on your own.
You don't rush into the next part of your day.
Take this time,
Listen to the music and let it fill you.
Don't feel the need to meditate for any purpose.
Just use it as time.
Just to be,
Just to practice what we've talked about,
Just to experience being you.
Making friends with yourself.
Breathing it.
And as always.
Letting go when you breathe out.
Hope to see you again.
Bye for now.
And remember.
You've got this.
