Welcome to the same.
relaxing meditation and get ready to surrender your old anxious ways and get fully
connected to the real you. I'm honored to have your presence during this
delightful relaxation session. Today you will remember the natural
feeling of relaxation that is within you always waiting for you,
you to access it, so get into a comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
I want you to get into a very comfortable position, the place where you can relax, you can
be yourself and you can connect with yourself. Make sure you're breathing nice and slowly.
And as I always say, make sure you're breathing through your stomach.
and not doing upper chest breathing.
Legs to relax, let them gently rest and stretch out.
Grant your body permission.
To remain calm, mind to be awake and present
while you listen to this meditation.
Breathing in and now become aware of your feet completely.
Breathe in, imagine you can send love to your feet.
and breathe out and smile at them
and inhale and become aware of your legs now
and exhale
let each leg fully relax
let go of any tension
that may be in your legs
them sink softly into the ground
breathing in
sending all your love to your legs
and breathing out, smiling at them.
Now bring awareness to your hands.
Let go.
You may still hold in your hands.
Focus on each individual finger of the left hand.
The thumb, index, middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger.
And then the right hand.
the thumb, index finger, middle finger and the ring finger
and the little finger
and feel the joy of having two hands
in the hands relax
and breathe in, having full awareness of your arms
and exhale and let the arms relax thoroughly
and let them rest,
completely free of tension.
And with each breath, feel how the muscles in your arms melt.
Send all your love to your arms and your hands and breathe out, smile at them.
Take awareness of your shoulders and with exhalation,
give up and give away any tension in the shoulder blades.
Send them your tenderness and care and let them relax completely.
to your back now, tension of any tight muscles that you may be still holding in your back,
the stress to abandon your body, let go of any weight you may have,
and breathe in and send all the love to your back and breathing out as you smile at them with gratitude.
Breathing in now and turn your attention to your inner feelings,
and exhale and let your feelings rest.

Feelings relax you.
Letting go of any stress and any woe and at each inhalation, you send love to your feelings.
You gently smile, amazing gratitude.
Be completely aware of your face and exhale and let every...
muscle of the face completely relaxed.
Your way, any worries?
And you release the tension around your mouth,
around your eyes, around your forehead.
All those muscles detents,
and you let the eyes relax and rest
within their sockets,
and the jaw relaxes,
and the face
just gently drops as the muscles detents,
and the skin smooths out.
And you breathe in and fully aware of the whole body,
your whole body.
And enjoy the entire sensation of your body
and how it is completely relaxed, anxiety free.
And breathe in again
and send love and compassion to the whole body.
And exhale and smile at it

wonderful self-healing ability that works in your body automatically.
Your loving attention supports it and provides a space for total regeneration
and feel gratitude for every single sound in your body and see if you can let the body relax
even more deeply, even more. Take a nice breath in and out, respecting the nature.
of a full breath now begin to visualize that you are outside, gazing up at the night sky,
and you are far out, for the night sky is dark, perhaps down a long, winding country road.
You can see city lights glowing with warmth in the distance, but you cannot hear the
sounds of the city, all you can hear are the sounds of thousands of crickets and the occasional
night-time frog. You travel down this country road even further until the city lights
completely fade into the horizon. After travelling deep into nature, you come to a wide and
secluded glade, a perfect meadow that is big enough to allow a full, incredible view of the
night sky. There is one tree in the middle of the glade with you, an old giant oak, and you
see that this tree holds the city of fireflies flickering their light for you. Take a seat
near this tree and feel the energy of life it holds under the midnight sky.
You spend a few moments to enjoy the sounds of nature. Nothing is around you. It's only you
and the sky. Imagine how far away the common daily things like your job, your duties, your
family and your routine are from you here. You can
feel the disconnection, the hustle and bustle of life, and the connection with this night scene,
as if it were a blank canvas waiting for your colour, a space where you can just relax,
chill out and be yourself, need of worries, take a deep breath through your nose,
smile and exhale out of your mouth
with a long deep sigh
and see the facade fail
the stress disappearing and melting away
with the chaos you left behind in the city
in this hidden place
there is no time or space
for bad emotions
even feelings and memories
they simply can't
cannot exist here.
Time to enjoy the silence.
The only thing you can hear
is the sound of your breath
and the only things you can see
are the stars above you.
If you hear any sounds in the distance,
you can ease how they block them
and actually they make you feel more relaxed
and you feel blessed and you feel at peace
and you feel grateful for this hidden secret place
you can call your own
and you repeat these words to yourself.
I am safe.
I am in peace.
I disconnect from what no longer serves me.
With silence, we are one.
Worries are no longer going to be part of me.
A negative anxiety can be disconnected
whenever I want to.
Thanks when I need to.
In this glade, you feel.
fully connect with the real you.
The one you may have been hiding.
The one who all too often is too busy
just to stop and to recharge.
Now it's finally time.
Now everything is clear.
You are your true self,
complete, whole and honest.
And you use this scenario
to get back to the back to the best
place of tranquility and silence to finally be totally you to enjoy the beauty of your
presence here and now without anxiety and gently return your awareness to the present
situation bringing back an authentic existence and now is the time to gently relax and go to sleep
and you can take what you have learned and what you have experienced in your mind's eye in yourself.
You can take this into the next day, be free from these anxieties, and you can disconnect when you need to.
Now is the time to relax to fall asleep and to become your authentic self and to be you as there is only you.
as you feel comfortable and ready to relax
drift off secure
