Guided Meditations/Visualization Meditation
This resource provides instructions for a guided visualization meditation:[1]
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position with your spine straight and your hands resting on your lap. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful and serene place, such as a beach or a forest. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this environment, noticing the colors, textures, and sensations around you.
Visualize yourself walking through this serene environment, taking in the sights, smells, and sounds around you. As you walk, allow any worries or stress to drift away, focusing only on the present moment.
Now, imagine a specific goal or intention that you have. It could be related to your personal life, your work, or your health. Visualize this goal or intention as a bright light or object in front of you.
As you focus on this goal or intention, imagine it becoming brighter and more vibrant with each breath you take. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this visualization, imagining yourself achieving this goal or intention with ease and grace.
Visualize yourself taking specific actions to achieve this goal or intention. See yourself succeeding and feeling a deep sense of satisfaction and joy.
Now, slowly bring your attention back to your breath. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
When you're ready, gently open your eyes and take a moment to notice any changes in how you feel. Allow yourself to fully embrace this sense of peace and clarity, and carry it with you throughout the rest of your day.
