Words have power. In this gentle guided meditation, you'll combine mindful breathing with simple positive words such as calm, peace and joy.

Hi. Welcome to this Wonder Words meditation. Start by wriggling and shuffling yourself into a comfortable position. And then feel your body start to settle. As you let go of your life. Put down all the things that are on your mind right now. You don't need them. You can pick them up later. Let's start by relaxing the body. We need to relax the body to relax the mind. Start with your toes. And your feet. Feel any tension drift away from them. You can tighten the muscles momentarily and then release them if you need to. Let go of any tension in your calves. And your thighs. Release any tightness in your buttocks. And in your stomach. Everything that you are holding to tightly, In your stomach, The worries. The thoughts. The ideas about how you're supposed to be. Or what you're supposed to be doing. You can let all that go right now. Now is the time just to be. Feel any tension in your torso drift away.

And then gently let your mind settle. And your focus. Naturally move to your breathing. Feel what it feels like to breathe. Watch. Your body does. When you breathe. Today. We are going to be using words. Anchor ourselves to the breathing. So we will breathe in and out. And inside our heads to ourselves. You will say a word. And we will start with the word. Relax. Breathe in and out. Relax. In. Relax. Very simple and very gentle. In, Out, Relax. And then. . . We will move to another word. But this time It will be on every second. Out breath. And the word will be. Still. Out still. Still. If your mind wanders. As all minds do. Just simply bring it back. Still. And then if you want to. You can move to another word. This time. After three rounds. Of breathing. You do now. In and out. In and out. The word is calm. Oh. Awe. And then. . . If you want to. You can move to another word. This time after four rounds of breathing. And the word is. . . Peace. And out. In and out. Your breathing. Four rounds. Peace. I like to smile to myself. When I say the word in my head. Make sure your body stays relaxed. When your mind wanders as all minds do. You may feel your body tensing slightly. Bring your mind back. Start again with a smile. Make sure you relax. Then if you want to. You can move to another word. This time. After five rounds of breathing. Try the word happy. Make sure you are focusing. On your breathing. Although you are counting the rounds of the breath. You are not focusing on the counting. Focusing. On the breathing. In if you want to. You can try another word. This time after six rounds of breathing. The word is joy. If six rounds of breathing. Is too difficult. Your mind is just too distracted today. You can reduce it to five. I'm full. And now just before the meditation comes to an end. I invite you just to let go of all effort. Let go of the words. And the counting. See how that feels. Does your mind feel quieter now? Than when you started. And do you feel? More peaceful now. Than when you started. The meditation session. Is coming to an end now. And whenever you're ready. You can slowly Open your eyes. And step back. Into your life. Thank you for joining me today. My name is Suede. Have a great day.
