Shownotes

For the morning you have to walk into something and would rather not. A forest at sunrise, and a stone to stand on until you feel steady.

About 8 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice. Perfect for the morning.

You walk into the trees with the sun coming up, and the path takes you to a clearing with one big smooth stone in the middle. You step onto it and feel how solid it is under your feet. Then you take that steadiness back down the path with you, and out into the day.

Treat me to a coffee, keep the podcast free, and get my Weekly Calm every Sunday. It is all on stevenwebb.uk

Thank you for sitting with me.

Transcripts

Steven Webb:

Begin by finding a comfortable and seated position.

Steven Webb:

I'll give you just a few seconds to wiggle into your comfortable position.

Steven Webb:

And then you can gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in,

Steven Webb:

filling your lungs completely.

Steven Webb:

And if you just hold your breath for a moment, and

Steven Webb:

then exhale slowly, releasing any tension or stress you may be carrying.

Steven Webb:

And allow your breath to be what it is. Let it settle into exactly the kind of breath that it

Steven Webb:

wants to be.

Steven Webb:

You don't need to get involved in your breath. It's been doing it for a long time without you getting

Steven Webb:

involved.

Steven Webb:

Most of the time it's doing without you even knowing.

Steven Webb:

Breathe in, calm. Breathe out, relax.

Steven Webb:

Now imagine yourself standing at the edge of a beautiful lush forest.

Steven Webb:

The sun is just starting to rise,

Steven Webb:

casting a warm glow on everything around you.

Steven Webb:

Imagine taking a deep breath in and smelling the fresh, crisp air.

Steven Webb:

Now as you step into the forest, you feel the soft earth beneath your feet and the warmth of the

Steven Webb:

sun on your skin.

Steven Webb:

The leaves on the trees gently rustle in the breeze and the birds sing a sweet melody.

Steven Webb:

And as you continue down the path, you come to a small clearing.

Steven Webb:

In the centre of the clearing there is a large smooth stone.

Steven Webb:

And as you step up onto the stone, you feel a strength and stability of it beneath your feet.

Steven Webb:

As you stand on the stone, imagine that you are soaking up all the positive energy of the forest.

Steven Webb:

You feel it flow into your body, filling you up with confidence, joy and peace.

Steven Webb:

And as you become aware of a few breaths, allowing yourself to fully connect with the energy of the forest

Steven Webb:

and the stone beneath your feet.

Steven Webb:

And when you are ready, step down from the stone and continue down the path.

Steven Webb:

As you walk, imagine you're carrying a positive energy of the forest with you.

Steven Webb:

You are strong, confident and ready to face whatever the day may bring.

Steven Webb:

In a moment I'm going to come back from five. But when I do so, bring back this positive, confident

Steven Webb:

energy with you so you can carry it with you for the rest of the day.

Steven Webb:

Five. Four. Start shaking out your arms a little bit. Three. Gently open your eyes

Steven Webb:

to Look around the room. And one. Feel that confidence and energy and enjoy it. Thank

Steven Webb:

you.
