Now what we're going to focus on today is a feeling just a feeling and this feeling we're going to focus on is the feeling of calmness that moment where you feel almost at peace, nothing else really matters in that moment that can be you know the emotion could be a multiple of different feelings, gratitude, you could be feeling kindness towards yourself, maybe towards the world, towards our other people but there's there's a certain, I guess it's going to be different for everybody but there's that feeling of comfort, that feeling of calmness,
feeling of peace so I guess we're going to focus on peacefulness, whatever it means for you and this isn't a spiritual thing, it's not a religious thing, it's just peacefulness as in the feeling where you just feel kind of at one with things but maybe at the same time separated and safe in your own special place in your mind where you're untouchable where you can hide if that's what you want to do or you can just be there in plain sight but not bothered by anyone or anything so you can
have that sense of peacefulness perhaps when you're on your own sitting in the garden on a lovely day or a rainy day whatever maybe lying on the beach on holiday relaxing in the bath lying down on your bed maybe listening to me or you might be out in a nightclub with your friends or a party a wedding some big event with you know hundreds of people around you yet you still have that sense of peacefulness that may derive from feeling happy maybe you're around people that you care about deeply and
you're getting in touch with the positive vibe that surrounds you that positive energy that may come from lots of people having fun and enjoying themselves or like myself i tend to gain that sense of peacefulness from solitude but also i like to be near nature so walking through a field hearing the birds i love the sounds of the birds the birds so it just it touches if i feel like it touches my heart the bird song and i like the sound of the weather not necessarily when i'm out in it
but i love hearing the sound of the wind when i'm indoors even on a cold wintry day the sound of the wind the sound of the rain against the window or hail or just it's a personal thing for me but just that gives me a sense of peacefulness sometimes i will just sit down thunder as well sometimes i turn all the lights off this thunderstorm and i just sit there and i just enjoy it really enjoy it and it feels maybe strangely to some people it feels to me peaceful there's
uh the there's a peacefulness that i find with nature regardless of what is happening so i think any kind of weather it's out of my control something that i can't even begin to control so there's no point trying and it's nice to be in that situation i think not as a victim but just as an observer if it rains it rains nothing i do or say is going to make any difference to what the weather does unless i move somewhere really hot but that's me controlling me not the weather so
i wonder what you have done in the past or what experiences you have had in the past where you've had that sense of peacefulness maybe you've been on holiday maybe it was holding your your baby in your arms for the first time maybe it was you know a graduation perhaps it was it could be anything it will we all have different lives but maybe you can think back and remember a time where you really felt peaceful now i remember a time i don't know why but it sticks in my mind
and i was going through a lot of stress at the time i was quite ill with stress and i went away i needed a break and i went and visited my friend who lives up north and i remember sitting outside in his back garden sitting on the coal bunker sounds sounds like the 1930s but he had a coal bunker and i was sitting on there and the breeze was just blowing in my face and there was a bit of sunshine it wasn't hot but it was a nice day i probably
had a jumper on or something and i just sat there and all the stress just left my body honestly there wasn't any tension at all i wasn't sure if i was going to be able to get back off the bunker and walk again because i was just so floppy so relaxed that was physically emotionally there was a different feeling of course i felt really relaxed but there was a different feeling that feeling of peacefulness where i just almost there's nothing happening it was still but it felt wonderful it's almost as
if my body and my mind were in complete sync and my brain as well my conscious mind and my unconscious mind completely in sync all almost meeting together around the table and agreeing to agree and realizing that they're all part of the same thing and no arguments were needed and they were just it's almost like they were just getting together and having a big hug i realize it might sound a bit fluffy but that's how it felt it felt fluffy it felt beautiful it felt wonderful uplifting but dare i say
it almost perfect like a perfect feeling where nothing else mattered and i spent many years meditating after this moment after this time and i was never able to reach that feeling with meditation all i needed to do was just sit there and i've done it many times over the years since i just remember that perhaps being the first time i did it and it didn't take any kind of chanting or any any effort at all it just happened naturally and i think it's because that's what i needed i wanted that
feeling but didn't realize i wanted that feeling and it's almost as if my body and my mind took a holiday and it felt so wonderful and it didn't cost any money it didn't take any preparation it didn't really take any time i just sat there closed my eyes and just allowed that feeling to be there and everything else just dropped away and it felt amazing and i believe that we all had similar feelings and experiences is i mean you may not describe it quite as fluffily and weirdly as i did
but just a feeling of peacefulness a feeling of complete calm and that's within doesn't matter what's going on outside i guess an analogy is being in a really really noisy environment like a nightclub with loud music and then you go outside and that initial peacefulness that you feel it may not last for long but there's a real pleasure that fills you even though you might be having the time of your life inside there and loving the loud music but when you get outside everything just drops away and it's such a
change it feels lovely and those those feelings like instantly changing how you feel again like when you're in maybe you you're sunbathing in the garden you're sunbathing in the sun of course being safe and putting lots of oil and rubbing it into yourself and stuff so you don't get sunburned so you've got the sun shining in your face on your body but you know even though you've got your eyes closed or you might be wearing shades you still got that sun and then you get up and you go inside now
that's a feeling that you won't get any other time that feeling of it's almost really hard to describe there's a coolness isn't there a coolness that you feel a relaxation it feels very different from the way you felt when you were lying on the sunbed but then as we focus if you're lying on a sunbed the feeling you have there compared to how you felt before you lie down on the sunbed the sun shining on you and all your stress just falls away it literally seems to just fall on the
floor and your body feels amazing and you feel so deeply relaxed from the core of your existence everything is peaceful and your mind goes into that zone again possibly the feeling of peacefulness feeling completely at peace and your mind doesn't have anything to do at all your body has nothing to do there's nothing to think about nothing to be concerned with you're just there feeling safe and completely at peace and it's a beautiful feeling and it's easy to have because it happens naturally just by lying down some people may get
that feeling by being in a swim pool and lying on like a water bed or something you know so you're just floating on the water in the swim pool your body is supported and you don't have to do anything and your body knows that and your mind knows that and because you're lying down your mind knows that it's time to go to sleep and it's that feeling of complete peacefulness spreading over your entire body and your mind and the water seems to just be taking away all of the stress any
tension taking it all away some people find this same kind of feeling when they do something active like a sporting thing maybe skiing i've never skied i've snowboarded or at least i've fallen off a snowboard many many times went down a mountain once on my face that was funny for the spectators not for me but that feeling i've heard about i've heard people say of being on your skis and just traveling down the mountain or down the slope it's a freedom complete freedom where your body's relaxed your mind is completely
peaceful and you're in the moment and it feels wonderful there's so many different things that people may do that gives them that sense of peacefulness within them which means we all have an example of that amazing feeling that is just so deep almost a perfect feeling of calmness just so calm and you can experience that more often if you choose to feel more of this peacefulness within you to visit that feeling to welcome the feeling into yourself to really embrace this amazing sensations so you can experience complete freedom complete calmness peacefulness and you can enjoy feeling this feeling for as long as you choose counting down from five to one feeling this feeling even deeper five four three two one
