Stress Reduction (Fireplace) ASMR



Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down.  I want you to take a deep breath in and as you exhale release any stress or tension.  Another deep breath in and on your exhale release any worries and stress of the day.  On your final deep breath in breath in relaxation and calm and with your exhale let go of any remaining tension in your body and in your mind and just relax. This is your time to be calm.


I want you to picture yourself sitting comfortably on a couch, maybe curled up if that is comfortable for you.   You’re wearing comfortable clothing and you have a blanket around you. You are feeling warm and content.  You are looking at a fire burning across the room from you.  You’re just relaxing on the couch enjoying the fire.  Smell the wood burning.  It’s a nice relaxing smell.  The lights in the room are dim.  Most of the light is coming from the fireplace and there is a small reading lamp behind you on a table next to the couch.  You watch the fire in the fireplace focusing all of your attention on watching the fire. You have nothing to worry about nothing else to think about, just enjoying the fire and the relaxation.  You hear the crackling of the fire and you look outside and see snow coming down and the wind blowing. That doesn’t concern you because you’re nice and warm under your blanket looking at the fire.  You know with the snow predicted that evening that you won’t have work or school the next day.   You have plenty of heat and food and water and the storm doesn’t concern you, except you know you have the day of relaxation tomorrow, and that allows you to be worry free and just relax and watch the fire.  Someone comes into the room and places a hot chocolate on the table next to you.  The come and curl up on the couch with you.  It may be someone you know and love or someone you haven’t met yet.   You don’t need to decide who it is who is spending this evening with you but you know that they care for you and love you and will take care of you.  All you need to do is watch the flames, drink your hot chocolate and relax with this person you love.  


Keep that feeling of relaxation and calm and know that you can return to this feeling by closing your eyes and picturing the flames of the fire.   You can now drift off to sleep or begin to return to the room where you’re sitting by wiggling your fingers and toes and when you feel ready opening your eyes, or let the calm relaxation take you off to sleep.  Remember meditation changes your mind

You liked it around two, feeling for Hank to hear looking at a fire burning a cross

He told me to decide who did its spending a seat in the Pacino

Handling of room at the opening on its home that the call and relaxation take too often slain
