  Speaker 1: Find yourself a nice cozy place to sit and relax.
• 0:43
  Maybe you can lie down on your sofa and then
• 0:46
  just close your eyes. Take a deep breath into your
• 0:51
  nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth. Again,
• 1:03
  deep breath in, and slowly and gently breathe out through
• 1:11
  your mouth. One more time, deep breath in and breathing
• 1:19
  slowly and gently out through your mouth. I just relax
• 1:28
  and let your breathing come back to its normal rhythm.
• 1:34
  Now imagine that you are sitting in a beautiful grassy
• 1:38
  meadow with your back against a magnificent old oak tree.
• 1:45
  And this meadow is filled with the most amazing and
• 1:49
  beautiful wildflowers, and you can see butterflies flying from flower
• 1:55
  to flower, gathering the nectar and taking their fill. The
• 2:03
  warm sunshine is shining down on you through the huge
• 2:07
  branches of the tree, and you can hear the birds
• 2:11
  perched on the higher branches singing merrily away, and the
• 2:16
  soft breeze gently rustles the leaves on the tree, keeping
• 2:21
  you nice and cool in the warm sunshine. Now imagine
• 2:29
  that you have roots growing out from the soles of
• 2:31
  your feet. Those roots look just like the roots of
• 2:35
  a tree long and wobbling, and they're burying themselves deep
• 2:41
  down into the earth, anchoring you into the ground, keeping
• 2:46
  you safe and strong. And you can hear those roots
• 2:51
  as they grow through the ground, and you can hear
• 2:54
  them as they push their way through the moist soil,
• 2:58
  and you can feel the earth moving aside for your
• 3:00
  roots to pass. Can you feel it? Can you feel
• 3:05
  the soil moving to let your roots pass by? You
• 3:12
  feel so strong and powerful now, like nothing can move you,
• 3:17
  like nothing can break you or even push you over.
• 3:22
  And as you sit there with your back against the tree,
• 3:27
  you begin to feel a tingling sensation running up and
• 3:31
  down your back, and it feels very pleasant and warm.
• 3:37
  Then you begin to feel a tingling sensation moving down
• 3:41
  through your legs and into your feet, and it moves
• 3:46
  up your body and down into your arms, and it
• 3:50
  feels really very nice, and it gives you a warm,
• 3:53
  fuzzy feeling deep inside. Now, this tingling sensation is beginning
• 4:01
  to energize every part of your body. The tingling energy
• 4:08
  travels all the way up to the top of your
• 4:10
  head and then back down again to the bottom of
• 4:14
  your feet, filling your whole body with light and energy.
• 4:21
  It travels down the back of your neck and around
• 4:24
  your throat, loosening your vocal cords, making them feel very
• 4:29
  strong and very powerful. And it's helping you to find
• 4:33
  your voice. It's helping you to speak clearly and without
• 4:37
  any fear whatsoever. And this beautiful tingling energy is flowing
• 4:46
  all through your body, and it's flushing out all the
• 4:50
  things you no longer need, like the thoughts you sometimes
• 4:54
  have that or maybe not so good, or maybe the
• 4:57
  feelings that make you feel sad or angry. It just
• 5:01
  flushes them all away because you don't need them anymore.
• 5:08
  So just sit for one moment and let the beautiful
• 5:13
  tingling energy just flow just a little bit longer, all
• 5:18
  the way through your body, making you feel happy and safe,
• 5:25
  making you feel very protected and very loved. Wow, Notice
• 6:44
  how good you feel now, How energized you feel. How
• 6:50
  you feel like you can take on the world. And
• 6:53
  you can because you are filled with this most wonderful
• 6:58
  tingling energy and you feel fantastic. You are energized with
• 7:06
  the tingling energy that still flows through your body, and
• 7:10
  it will be there for as long as you want
• 7:12
  it to be. So take a deep breath in through
• 7:17
  your nose and slowly and gently breathe out through your
• 7:24
  mouth and feel it giving you amazing strength, kind of
• 7:31
  like Superman, for example. So powerful you are now you
• 7:37
  can do anything you want to do, be anything you
• 7:41
  want to be. You are your own person, a beautiful,
• 7:47
  amazing and very special person. And it's now that you
• 7:55
  also notice that there is a beautiful white light surrounding
• 7:59
  your whole body, and it's filling you with peace and happiness,
• 8:04
  and it makes you smile and feel so strong and
• 8:07
  so brave. And this light is called the Universal Energy,
• 8:14
  and it connects all living creatures to each other, human life,
• 8:20
  plant life, and all animal life too. It flows through everything,
• 8:27
  and you are not alone. But now it's time to
• 8:33
  return to your day, remembering that you can listen to
• 8:38
  this little meditation whenever you feel you need to or
• 8:41
  whenever you want to. But for now, it's time to
• 8:45
  return to your day. So take a deep breath in
• 8:50
  and then slowly let it out again. Deep breath in
• 9:00
  and slowly let it out one more time. Deep breath
• 9:08
  in and slowly let it out. Now, wriggle your fingers,
• 9:17
  wriggle your toes, give a big stretch if you want to,
• 9:23
  and then slowly and gently open your eyes and just
• 9:28
  stay sitting still for a few moments, and just maybe
• 9:33
  stretch your arms and your legs, and whenever you are ready,
• 9:40
  slowly and gently just get up and continue with your day.
• 10:00
  Then you had a man
