Just while you're making yourself comfortable and getting settled in, I just want to tell you about another podcast I
Steven Webb:
00:00:06
have. It's called Stillness in the Storms Podcast. And it's a podcast that helps you to get a little inner
Steven Webb:
00:00:13
peace when you need it most and you probably have it least.
Steven Webb:
00:00:17
And it's just... Seeing life from a different perspective. And I'm also choosing not to have any
Steven Webb:
00:00:25
sponsors for either of these podcasts. So if you would like to treat me to a coffee, you can head
Steven Webb:
00:00:32
over to StevenWebb.uk or if you'd like to download the five simple practices for inner peace, also head
Steven Webb:
00:00:39
over to StevenWebb.uk. You are awesome. Settle in and enjoy the meditation. I won't disturb you
Steven Webb:
00:00:47
after the meditation.
Steven Webb:
00:00:51
This meditation is just five minutes long and it will help you to go from that stressed place or
Steven Webb:
00:00:59
that tense place to a more relaxed and ready for your day or ready for what's coming up next.
Steven Webb:
00:01:07
Ideally, if you can do this in a sat upright position, whether you're sat in the car, edge of the
Steven Webb:
00:01:13
bed or at a kitchen table.
Steven Webb:
00:01:16
And just keep your back up straight. Tuck your chin in slightly and now if you put raise your arms
Steven Webb:
00:01:23
above your head And put your hands together. And we'll take a deep breath.
Steven Webb:
00:01:32
And now as we breathe out, we lower our arms down either side of our bodies. Slowly resting our hands
Steven Webb:
00:01:38
on top of our legs.
Steven Webb:
00:01:43
And now we'll take a couple deep breaths together. And as we breathe in deep, we'll hold our breath and
Steven Webb:
00:01:49
then we'll breathe out slowly, relaxing the body. So if we do that now, take
Steven Webb:
00:01:56
a deep breath in. Hold it. And now as you breathe out, slowly relax the body, your
Steven Webb:
00:02:04
shoulders and your neck. And anywhere else there's some tension in your body. Now allow the breath to do what
Steven Webb:
00:02:11
it does best and just breathe in its natural rhythm.
Steven Webb:
00:02:21
Now we'll take another deep breath in. Breathe in right into the bottom of our bellies.
Steven Webb:
00:02:27
Hold it. And now we'll breathe out gently.
Steven Webb:
00:02:34
And as you breathe in calm, you can breathe out relax.
Steven Webb:
00:02:40
And just notice how you don't have to force the body to relax. It does it in a natural way.
Steven Webb:
00:02:46
It knows how to relax. The natural state of being is relaxed.
Steven Webb:
00:02:56
Your natural state of being is this softened feeling. This natural, comfortable and
Steven Webb:
00:03:03
security and safety. Feeling of everything is okay.
Steven Webb:
00:03:09
Everything is at peace. I don't need to be doing anything else but relax here right now.
