Welcome to change-your-mind-meditation. I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and take a deep breath in to the count of four. Release to the count of eight. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and release to the count of eight. Take another deep breath in to the count of four and release to the count of eight.


I want you to even out your breathing and feel that breath coming in to your feet. Exhale and release all tension in your feet. Take a deep breath into your legs and release any tension you may hold in your legs. Deep breath into your torso and release any butterflies in your stomach and anxiety you may hold there. Take a deep breath into your arms, and release any tension in your shoulders and any tension in your hands. Take a deep breath into your head, and release tension in your forehead or in your jaw. Take one final deep breath into your whole body and when you exhale release any remaining tension.

Now I want you to picture yourself living in your own apartment or house. You live alone. You don’t have a partner but you are happy and content. You have your apartment setup as you would like it. Your things are set up as you would like them to be. You’re able to take care of yourself. You’re confident and comfortable. You are open to having a partner in your life but you don’t need one. You are able to take care of yourself financially. You may not always have a lot of money but you’ve managed to make it work. You have lots of friends. You don’t need one particular person to take care of you and your emotional needs. You have many friends each that meet several needs. You may have one friend that you go to in order to have a good time. You may have another friend that you go to when you need some emotional support. You may have family in your life but you may not. You may have created your own family with friends. You have many different friends to do different activities with and all your friends as a whole meet your current emotional needs. You may sometimes feel lonely, but that is just a feeling and if you want it to go away you have people you can talk to on the phone or spend some time with. You are strong and confident and able to take care of yourself. Remember this feeling of self confidence.

I want you to start to return to the room where you are sitting. Feel what you are sitting or lying down on. Hear the sounds in the room and the smells. When you’re ready slowly open your eyes.

Remember meditation changes your mind!
