Let Go Of Stress & Anxiety
Hello. This is Arthur. Welcome to today's session, Letting Go of Stress and Anxiety. To begin, remove any distractions around you. Turn off any devices that may interrupt you. And make yourself comfortable in a quiet place. Make sure that you are warm and the general temperature of the room is pleasant. For this session, you may lie down on your back or sit in a chair.
Now that you are comfortable close your eyes and quickly check your state of mind. Is your mind active? Just be aware of it. If it is restless, let it be restless. If it is calm, that's okay too. Take a moment to simply acknowledge your present state of mind.
Now, pay attention to what's happening at this moment in your mind and body, without making any judgments. Pleasant or unpleasant, remain aware and allow things to be just as they are.
We all get into stressful situations from time to time. It's not about eliminating stress from our lives, but about learning how to manage and properly react to it. When you encounter something that brings you stress, you need to be prepared to deal with it so that it doesn't build up into something more.
When you are stressed, you cannot focus. So on the other hand, when you are focused, you cannot be stressed. And that's why mindfulness is one of the best ways to deal with stress and anxiety. Let's turn our attention by focusing on to your body. How does it feel right now? Do you notice any particular tension or pain? Let's take a few deep breaths.
Inhale and exhale through your nose. Inhale. Now exhale through your nose. If there are any worries, stress or anxiety in your mind, use this opportunity to let go as you exhale. Let any anxiety dissolve as you exhale. And again, breathe in with a clear and bright mind. And breathe out feeling all your tension, mental and physical, melting away. Just do this for a few moments.
Breathe in, with a clear and bright mind, and breathe out feeling all your tensions melting away. Nice. You are now twice as relaxed than you were a few moments ago. But now you are going to go deep, even deeper into relaxation. I'm going to calm down from ten, and with each number you hear, you will multiply your relaxation.
As I count each number, your relaxation doubles. Ten: your relax session doubles. Nine: feeling your relaxation multiply. Eight: doubling the calmness you feel. Seven: relaxing many times more. Six: allow your relaxation to double again. Five: feeling how you can relax twice as much with each number. Four: it feels so good to multiply with this relaxation. Three: letting your calmness double again. Two: amplify the relaxation. One: relaxation has encompassed your mind and body and you are feeling fully at peace. Zero: you are now a thousand times more relaxed than when we began. Yes, a thousand times more relaxed.
You don't have to do anything, but let go. And as you start to completely let go, bring into your mind the image of a mountain. It could be a mountain you have seen or an imaginary mountain. Picture it clearly in your mind, in all its majesty. Strong and tall. Can you see its shape? Its color? Standing tall in all its majesty.
Picture this mountain in a way that reflects the qualities of stability, strength and confidence. Now imagine a storm approaching. Suddenly, there is rain pouring over the mountain. Strong winds blowing in every direction.
See if you can recreate the sound of the rain and the wind in your mind. And now notice how the mountain remains unmoved, balanced and open. Standing tall and proud. Being deeply grounded, the mountain stays undisturbed, accepting and whole. See if you can bring up in yourself all these qualities. Imagine how it would be to be the mountain: strong, grounded, whole, open, undisturbed, at peace.
You can find all these qualities within yourself. You have all these qualities. And no matter what kind of storm comes your way, you can always tap into the mountain-like calmness and harmony. Keep the image of the mountain in your mind and stay there feeling grounded, strong and at ease for a few moments. And as you stay there, immersed in these mountain-like qualities.
Listen to the following phrases as if they were coming from that place of strength and balance within yourself. You may repeat them to yourself or out loud. Let them resonate with your whole being:

Now let's bring your awareness back to your body. And from your hands., move your attention to the top of your head., feeling any sensation around that area. From the top of your head., your attention now goes down to your face, your neck, shoulders, connecting with your body and paying attention to every sensation. Keep scanning your body, your torso, your thighs, knees, down to your feet and toes, being present and aware of every sensation.
Whenever you feel ready, let's take a few deep breaths. Inhale. Now exhale through your nose. And slowly start wiggling your fingers, your wrists, your shoulders. Stretch your neck of you'd like to. Make any movements you need and open your eyes.
