 Hello and welcome to this video I want to put together for a number of reasons. Firstly, I haven't done a video on my YouTube channel for a little while and we're going to do a little bit of just a simple breathing meditation, but more importantly, I suppose he says, I've created another YouTube channel called the calmness collective, which will be highlighted in a link below. This channel is there for you to use for guided meditations, for natural sounds, for all of the things that can help you be more mindful, live in the present moment and the channel is going to build with some lives and other bits and pieces. This channel is more about me and my spiritualism and spirituality, where that calmness collective is there for everybody to enjoy a bit of calm and a bit of time to yourself to meditate, to be in the present moment, to sometimes come away from that collective noise into this collective calm. So the links are below, but before we go into all of that and I ask you to go across, be wonderful if you could subscribe to this channel and more importantly could you subscribe to the calmness collective underneath. I'm trying very quickly to get to a thousand subscribers, which would be absolutely fan dabbadosi. So as you hear, why don't we just do a little bit of meditation? So what's ever happened in your day today? And I've written a blog on my website, Julien Jenkins dot me, which is about the David and Goliath, all of the challenges, all of the Goliath challenges that we face and and igniting the David within to allow you to come and overcome these challenges. Sometimes we just need to be. So let's just do that now. Let's just have five very conscious breaths. I'm going to ask you whatever you're doing, if you're doing something that requires your full attention to stop, to take a moment, to sit to relax, close your eyes and just breathe with me. We're going to take five very deep breaths in. We're going to hold them at the top and then we're going to let them go. We're going to hold them for three and we're going to breathe out. So let's start with the big first one. Nice deep breath in all the way to the top. We're going to hold it for three seconds and then we're going to slowly release it. Now this one, as you breathe in, I want to breathe in the calmness and as you breathe out, I want to let go of any anxiety or stress that's causing you problems breathing in, breathing that relaxation all the way to the top breathing in that calm holding in at the top there. And letting go of any stress or strains or anything that longer serves you. Going to do another nice deep breath in, breathing in the calm and relaxation, holding it at the top, feeling the sensation of the breath in your body and then letting go of any stress or any strains. One more big deep breath in, holding it at the top, breathing in the calm, the relaxation and letting go of any stress or strain. Now I just want you to sit here for a moment. Wherever you felt the most of your breath, just focus, bring your awareness to your breath. Just focus in on your breath. If you have any thoughts come in, just accept them, acknowledge them, come back to your breath. Let's just stay with our breath for 30 seconds. Any thoughts come in, accept them, acknowledge them, let them go. Any noises that distract you, acknowledge it, come back to your breath. Focus on your breath. Just be in the present moment and take a nice deep breath in. Hold it, wiggle your fingers, open your eyes, come back into the room. There's an old saying, isn't it? Just take five. That was it. Take five, check in, come back into your body, feel grounded. The reality is at that moment in time, the present moment is all we have. And when we can sit in it and bathe in the energy and the natural flow of the world, we connect to it that they can get better. So, whatever you're doing today, have a wonderful day. If you can nip across in the link below to the calmness collective and subscribe to that channel, I'd much appreciate it. Wherever you're doing, have a wonderful day. Be loving, give love, take care, see you soon. Bye bye.
