  Speaker 1: Find yourself a nice cozy place to sit and relax.
• 0:40
  Maybe you can lie down on your sofa and just
• 0:45
  close your eyes. Take a deep breath in through your nose,
• 0:54
  slowly and gently reade out through your mouth. Again, deep
• 1:04
  breath in, and slowly and gently breathe out through your mouth.
• 1:17
  One more time, deep breath in and breathing slowly and
• 1:24
  gently out through your mouth. Now, imagine yourself surrounded by
• 1:34
  a pure white light, a light so bright and so pure.
• 1:43
  Now imagine the whole room filled with this beautiful, shining light.
• 1:51
  Breathe in this healing energy of light. Breathe in its protection.
• 2:00
  Fill your lungs with deep breaths of pure white energy,
• 2:06
  and let this light expand into your whole body, bringing
• 2:11
  with it a deep sense of peace. Now, remember a
• 2:20
  time in your mind when you were feeling very happy.
• 2:25
  This could be a memory of a person that you love,
• 2:28
  or a complete stranger who was very kind to you once.
• 2:33
  It could be an animal or a friend, or even
• 2:36
  your favorite teddy bear. A time when your heart felt
• 2:42
  so full of joy and happiness. Now remember how that
• 2:49
  feeling felt, how your heart felt so happy it could
• 2:56
  burst right out of your chest with pure joy. Remember
• 3:03
  how it made your smile light up your whole face.
• 3:09
  Remember how you never wanted that moment to end. The
• 3:15
  joy this moment brings goes on forever. There are no worries,
• 3:23
  there are no problems, There is only you feeling pure
• 3:29
  happiness right now in this very moment. You are the moment,
• 3:39
  one perfect moment in time. So for just a few moments,
• 3:47
  sit with joy and happiness that you're feeling right now,
• 3:52
  and feel those beautiful, wonderful feelings deeply once again. Notice
• 5:57
  how peacefull you feel now, Notice how happy you feel.
• 6:05
  Notice that nothing matters in this moment in time but you.
• 6:14
  The only thing that matters is how peaceful and calm
• 6:18
  you feel, how very happy you are. So now take
• 6:26
  a deep breath in and slowly and gently breathe out.
• 6:36
  It's time to bring back all the good feelings you have,
• 6:40
  all the joy and happiness you feel, and carry it
• 6:44
  with you for the rest of the day. Breathe in
• 6:49
  deeply and slowly breathe out again. Breathe in deeply and
• 7:06
  slowly breathe out one last time. Breathe in deeply and
• 7:17
  slowly breathe out. It's time for you to slowly stretch
• 7:24
  your body, feeling so happy and so content in this
• 7:30
  perfect moment in time, because you are the perfect moment,
• 7:40
  and whenever you are ready, slowly and gently open your eyes,
• 7:50
  find yourself somewhere comfortable to sit with your back straight,
• 7:57
  and then close your eyes. Now let's begin by taking
• 8:03
  five deep and full breaths, and as you breathe in,
• 8:09
  let each inhale of breath fill your lungs deeply and
• 8:14
  fill you with much needed energy. And each time you exhale,
• 8:19
  allow your body to simply relax. So here we go.
• 8:27
  Deep breath in, fill your lungs and slowly breathe out.
• 8:42
  Deep breath in, slowly breathe out. Deep breath in, and
• 9:00
  slowly breathe out. Again, Deep breath in and slowly breathe out.
• 9:15
  Let's do it one more time, last one deep breath
• 9:18
  in and slowly breathe out, and just relax for a moment.
• 9:37
  And now we do it again. Breathe in through your mouth,
• 9:44
  expanding your belly and chest as much as you can,
• 9:48
  and hold that breath just for a moment. Now exhale
• 9:56
  out through your mouth. Feeling away of relaxation sweep over
• 10:02
  your entire body. Breathe in, filling your entire breathing system
• 10:14
  with fresh oxygen. Hold the breath and breathe out, feeling
• 10:25
  a deep wave of relaxation gently sweeping over you. Again,
• 10:36
  breathe in so much that you are brimming with air.
• 10:42
  Hold the breath, soaking in all of the oxygen. Hold
• 10:48
  the breath and breathe out, and your body relaxes in
• 10:55
  different areas without any effort at all. So again, breathe in,
• 11:06
  feeling these breaths purifying your entire body. Hold the breath
• 11:16
  and breathe out. Just notice how you are feeling, how
• 11:22
  your body is feeling right now? One more time. Breathe in,
• 11:32
  a big, beautiful breath coming in, Hold the breath, feeling
• 11:38
  invigorated from the purest oxygen, and breathe out, allowing the
• 11:47
  deep relaxation to sweep over your entire body. Notice, now,
• 11:58
  how is your body feeling at this very moment. How
• 12:05
  do you feel you now have an abundance of oxygen.
• 12:14
  This is how we are created to feel. This is
• 12:19
  how relaxed we can feel. This is how at any
• 12:24
  given moment we can feel if we choose to just relax,
• 12:34
  let your breath flow naturally and again, Notice how you feel.
• 12:44
  How does your body feel right now? Now, turn your
• 12:57
  focus onto your spine. Is it straight? Radiating confidence in yourself?
• 13:07
  Make your posture tall and proud, lifting your head high
• 13:14
  if you haven't done so already, Allow your eyes to
• 13:18
  gently close and feel a nice relaxation in your eyelids
• 13:23
  when you do so. This relaxation in your eyelids is
• 13:30
  so comforting, so you let it grow and begin to
• 13:36
  fill your entire body's peace and calmness, and you feel happy,
• 13:48
  so very peaceful, so very calm. Become aware of your
• 13:59
  head now, just notice your eyes and your ears. What
• 14:07
  sounds can you hear? Is there a ticking clock? Can
• 14:15
  you hear a bird outside singing? It's a beautiful song.
• 14:21
  What sounds can you hear? Now? Notice your nose? Can
• 14:37
  you feel your air gently coming in? Notice your mouth
• 14:45
  and your chin. Can you feel the air on your
• 14:49
  lips as it exhales from your nose? What does it
• 14:55
  feel like? Now? Let your awareness travel down your neck
• 15:10
  and your shoulders, down each arm, all the way to
• 15:17
  the tip of each finger. And as you do so,
• 15:23
  feel the energy moving around your body. Feel the warmth.
• 15:30
  Feel how good it makes you feel? Become aware of
• 15:38
  your lungs now expanding and contracting. Notice how strong and
• 15:45
  deep your heart is beating. It's very powerful, but very soothing,
• 15:56
  and you feel so peaceful, so calm, so relaxed. Now
• 16:10
  notice your belly, your hips, all the way down, each leg,
• 16:18
  notice your feet, notice each toe, and again, feel the
• 16:26
  energy moving all through your body, all around your body,
• 16:33
  inside and out. Take another nice, deep breath in and
• 16:44
  let us smile come across your face. Feel the muscles
• 16:50
  moving in your face as you smile. Bring into your
• 16:57
  mind a memory when you were laughing. It could be
• 17:03
  a memory from long ago, or even a funny moment
• 17:07
  that happened recently. Just let the feeling of laughter and
• 17:13
  joy rise in your body as it comes into your mind.
• 17:18
  And just remember, see yourself laughing, feel your body moving
• 17:28
  with each laughter, and remember how good you felt. Now
• 17:43
  it's time to bring your attention back into the room.
• 17:49
  So take a long, slow, deep breath in and hold
• 17:55
  the breath. Breathe out slowly and gently. Again, deep breath in,
• 18:12
  hold the breath just a moment, and slowly and gently
• 18:22
  breathe out one more time. Deep breath in, and slowly
• 18:36
  and gently let the breath out now, keeping your eyes
• 18:43
  still closed. Notice the sounds around you. What can you hear?
• 18:58
  Feel the floor beneath you, your feet really feel it?
• 19:07
  Feel the chair you're sitting on. How does it feel?
• 19:17
  Feel your clothes against your body? Are they smooth? Are
• 19:23
  they off? Now, whenever you are ready to come back
• 19:32
  to the present moment, take a nice, deep, refreshing breath.
• 19:39
  Feeling energized and ready to accomplish all of your goals,
• 19:46
  realizing that you can do anything you set your mind
• 19:52
  to do, realizing that you truly are a very special
• 19:59
  being with no limitations. Now, open your eyes to see
• 20:09
  the beautiful world that's yours to explore. Take a deep
• 20:21
  breath in through your nose and slowly let the breath
• 20:28
  out through your mouth. Again, Take another deep breath in
• 20:37
  through your nose and slowly and gently let the breath
• 20:45
  out once again. Deep breath in and slowly breathe out. Now,
• 21:04
  Imagine you are sitting in a beautiful garden on a
• 21:09
  lovely old wooden bench, and you can feel the old
• 21:15
  wood beneath you as it sacks down just a little bit,
• 21:20
  but it still feels solid and very comfortable. You look
• 21:27
  down at your hands, and you feel something inside them,
• 21:33
  so you gently open them to see that you're holding
• 21:38
  a tiny daisy bud and its petals are all tightly closed,
• 21:45
  and it looks so small in your hands. As you
• 21:50
  look at the tiny flower, you see it very clearly.
• 21:56
  You can see each tiny petal hugging all the other petal,
• 22:01
  and it looks like it's trying to keep itself warm
• 22:05
  and safe. You see the green stem glistening in the
• 22:11
  morning sunshine. You lift the little flower closer to you
• 22:19
  so that you could see it better, and as you
• 22:22
  breathe out, your breath gently touches it, and the flower
• 22:29
  begins to move just a tiny bit. As you breathe
• 22:35
  out again, your breath gently flows over the tiny petals
• 22:42
  and they move ever so slightly again. So you take
• 22:48
  a breath in and slowly you blow it out from
• 22:53
  your mouth to see if it happens again, and yes,
• 22:57
  it does. The petals begin to open just a tiny
• 23:03
  bit more. Each time you breathe in. You are breathing
• 23:10
  in the love from the tiny daisy. You're breathing in
• 23:17
  all the love from the universe. And I should breathe
• 23:23
  out just gently over the little flower. You breathe out
• 23:28
  all of your love onto it. With each breath you
• 23:34
  breathe out, the tiny flower opens more and more each time,
• 23:42
  and you can see the petals clearly now as they
• 23:44
  expand outwards. This tiny flower is growing in your hands,
• 23:53
  and it gets bigger and bigger with each breath that
• 23:56
  you breathe on it. So you keep breathing onto the daisy,
• 24:04
  and you are delighted and in awe of what is happening.
• 24:09
  And it's happening because of you. It's happening because you
• 24:16
  are breathing love into this tiny little life form. As
• 24:23
  your breath touches the flower, its petals expand even more,
• 24:30
  and it's petals are reaching out to you as if
• 24:33
  you are the sun, as if you are giving it life,
• 24:38
  and you are giving it life. Its petals move softly
• 24:44
  and quiver as they reach out to you, and you
• 24:48
  can feel it warmth and it's love as it moves
• 24:51
  ever so close. The petals are grown fully now, and
• 24:59
  it's an amazing insight to see this tiny little bird
• 25:05
  has reached its potential because of you. Because of the
• 25:10
  love and the life that you gave to it, this
• 25:14
  tiny flower has grown into a fully grown daisy now
• 25:19
  because of you, and it's the most beautiful thing you
• 25:24
  have ever seen. Its petals are white and shiny, and
• 25:30
  they look so bright and so vivid, so healthy. It's
• 25:37
  like you can almost see the love shining out from it. Now,
• 25:44
  imagine if you were to breathe out love to the
• 25:49
  whole world with every breath you take. Imagine if that
• 25:55
  when you breathe in, you can breathe in all of
• 25:59
  the love of the world, the entire world, and the
• 26:04
  world sends it out each and every day. Imagine how
• 26:11
  that would feel to breathe in nothing but pure love,
• 26:17
  and to breathe out all of your love for the
• 26:21
  rest of the world. Now, that would be truly amazing. Now, wondered,
• 26:32
  Just feel yourself breathing in all of the love from
• 26:38
  all over the universe. Really feel it. Feel it from
• 26:46
  the people and the animals. Feel it from the moon,
• 26:51
  the stars and the sun, feel it from the wind
• 26:57
  and the rain, feel it from all of the other planets.
• 27:04
  Because every living being has a vibration that they give
• 27:08
  out to the universe, and that vibration is love. The
• 27:14
  universe is love, pure simple love, and the universe, above
• 27:23
  everything else, wants you to be happy and to feel
• 27:27
  that love. So today, when you breathe in, imagine that
• 27:36
  you are breathing in the pure love from the universe.
• 27:41
  And imagine that when you breathe out, you breathe out
• 27:45
  all of your love to all living beings. Breathe out
• 27:52
  love to your family and friends, Breathe out love to
• 27:57
  all of the animals, plants, and trees. Breathe out your
• 28:03
  love to the whole entire universe. Can you imagine how
• 28:13
  amazing that would be? Can you imagine what a wonderful
• 28:18
  life we would all have if we could just breathe
• 28:22
  in nothing but pure love and then send that love
• 28:26
  back out into the world, to the entire universe. But
• 28:35
  now it's time to return to your day. So take
• 28:41
  a deep breath in through your nose, and slowly and
• 28:47
  gently breathe out through your mouth, breathing out the love again.
• 28:57
  Deep breath in through your nose, breathing in all the
• 29:01
  love the universe has for you, and slowly and gently
• 29:07
  breathe out through your mouth, showering the entire world with
• 29:12
  your love. One last time, Deep breath in, feeling yourself
• 29:20
  full of the love of all life, and slowly and
• 29:27
  gently breathe out through your mouth, breathing it back out again.
• 29:36
  But now just wriggle your fingers, wriggle your toes, give
• 29:42
  a big stretch, and slowly and gently open your eyes
• 29:49
  and breathe out as much love as you can, just
• 29:54
  for today. Close your eyes and make yourself comfortable. Take
• 30:07
  a deep, blissful breath, breathing in pure cleansing air, and
• 30:17
  now slowly breathe out again. Take another deep breath of
• 30:28
  blissful air and slowly breathe out one last time. Take
• 30:40
  another deep breath of pure cleansing air, and slowly breathe out. Now,
• 30:54
  imagine that you were standing on a lovely, luscious green
• 30:59
  hill and the sun is shining, and it's nice and warm,
• 31:08
  and there's a gentle breeze on your face and it
• 31:11
  feels so refreshing. So stand still on this green hill
• 31:19
  just for a moment and close your eyes. Feel the
• 31:25
  warmth of the sun on your face, Feel a gentle
• 31:31
  breeze as it moves through your hair. How does your
• 31:38
  body feel right now? Your feet are firmly on the ground.
• 31:48
  How does the ground beneath your feet feel? Is it
• 31:54
  a hard surface or is it soft? And spongy grass
• 32:00
  beneath your feet. What does it feel like now? You
• 32:10
  open your eyes and look around you. What do you see.
• 32:18
  Are there trees anywhere or is it just a rolling
• 32:23
  green hill? Are the beds in the sky or are
• 32:31
  they just clouds? You decide to walk a little, so
• 32:39
  choose which leg will be stepping first, the left one
• 32:46
  or the right one. And as you lift your foot,
• 32:53
  feel the bottom of your foot lose contact with the ground.
• 32:58
  What does that feel like? Does your foot feel lighter
• 33:04
  or does it feel heavier? You move forward and take
• 33:12
  your first step. How does it feel when you place
• 33:16
  your foot back on the ground as it comes into
• 33:20
  contact with the ground. Do you feel any vibrations as
• 33:25
  your footsteps on the ground beneath you? What does it
• 33:31
  feel like? You lift the other foot and do the
• 33:37
  same thing again. Does it feel the same as it
• 33:42
  did with the first foot. Be aware of your feelings,
• 33:51
  be aware of the sensations of your foot touching the
• 33:56
  ground below you. This is helping you to become mindful
• 34:03
  of what you are doing. This is helping you to
• 34:07
  be in the present moment and to realize that nothing
• 34:11
  else matters right now, nothing at all. And this helps
• 34:17
  you to concentrate your mind. When your mind wanders a little,
• 34:26
  sometimes it does, and when thoughts come into your mind
• 34:33
  that you don't need to think about right now, just
• 34:36
  bring your attention back to your feet. Just be aware
• 34:41
  again of them lifting up up from the ground and
• 34:45
  then settling back down again. Think of your feet and
• 34:51
  how it feels to touch the ground beneath you. What
• 34:57
  does it feel like? You stop now and take off
• 35:04
  your shoes. Now you can really feel the ground below you.
• 35:10
  What does it feel like? Now? Curl your toes off.
• 35:17
  If you're standing on grass, wriggle your toes in it,
• 35:21
  what does that feel like? Is it cool or is
• 35:25
  it warm? Is it soft grass or is it a
• 35:30
  bit sharp and hard? If you're standing on hard ground,
• 35:36
  what does that feel like? Is it cold under your feet?
• 35:43
  Is it wet or is it damp? What does it
• 35:47
  feel like? Now? Walk forward and just look around you.
• 35:58
  What can you see? What do you feel right now?
• 36:08
  Just keep walking and take in everything that is around you.
• 36:16
  Can you hear anything as you walk? What can you hear?
• 36:25
  Can you hear a gentle breeze? Can you hear any
• 36:33
  birds flying past you? Can you hear the flutter? Of
• 36:37
  their wings as they pass by. Can you hear anything
• 36:44
  in the distance? So stop now and just listen, Just
• 36:53
  listen to your body. Just feel how your body feels
• 36:58
  right now. How does it feel you turn now and
• 37:11
  begin to walk back again, and how she do? Notice
• 37:17
  how your hips feel, Notice how your legs are feeling.
• 37:25
  Notice how your torso adjusts itself when you turn your
• 37:30
  body around. How slow you're walking. Down a bit and
• 37:39
  walk a lot slower, and just take one step every
• 37:45
  three or four seconds. It feels really good to walk
• 37:50
  this way because you don't have to hurry at all.
• 37:54
  There is no rush to be anywhere right now. In fact,
• 38:00
  as you lift your foot, say lift. As you move
• 38:05
  your foot forward, say move, And as you place your
• 38:11
  foot down, say place. So lift, move, place. Do this
• 38:22
  for just one more moment, and then just stand still.
• 39:21
  You feel so excited right now for the glorious new
• 39:26
  day ahead, and your heart is filled full of love
• 39:30
  for all life, but most of all for yourself, this amazing, wonderful,
• 39:40
  perfect being. You truly are the real you, you, who
• 39:47
  can do anything you want to do whenever you want
• 39:50
  to do it. And you feel so peaceful, so calm,
• 39:55
  and so very relaxed, but refreshed as well. So once
• 40:02
  again breathe in deeply the cool, refreshing air and slowly
• 40:12
  breathe out, and you feel refreshed and rejuvenated, and you
• 40:17
  feel so alive right now, So again breathe in the
• 40:23
  cleansing air of life and slowly breathe out, and you
• 40:32
  feel so wonderful, so looking forward to the day ahead,
• 40:39
  So breathe in deeply one last time, and slowly breathe out,
• 40:49
  and you're now ready to begin your day, knowing that
• 40:55
  you are going to have the most wonderful and amazing
• 41:00
  day
