Welcome to change your mind meditation. I want you to find a comfortable place to sit
or lay down and if you feel comfortable close your eyes. I want you to take a deep breath in and as
you exhale release any stress or tension in your body. Take another deep breath in and with your
exhale let your mind relax and let go of the worries of the day. Take a final deep breath in inhaling peace and
calm and with your final exhale release any tension and stress in your body and
mind.
Thank you for coming in to the stress reduction session
today. I want you to imagine that you
wake up in the morning with complete freedom.
You have no obligations; nothing you need to do, nowhere you need to be,
and no one you need to be. You can act
as you would like; you can do what you would like. Feel that freedom. How is it different from how you feel most
days? Return to that feeling of freedom
and experience the release of letting go of your obligations. Now I
want you to think of the statement “Freedom is my divine right.” Remember that besides
doing what we need to shelter and feed ourselves and our children, most of our
obligations are self imposed. We do not
need to agree to everything that is asked of us. We do not need to attend functions that are
not necessary. We do not need to
participate in groups that we don’t find beneficial. Give yourself permission to release some of
those obligations that are not fulfilling.
I am free to think wonderful thoughts. I move beyond past limitations into freedom. I am now becoming all that I am created to
be. Hold on to that feeling and know
that you can return to this feeling of calm and peace and freedom. You may now drift off to sleep or begin to
return to the room by wiggling your fingers and toes and when you feel ready
opening your eyes. Remember meditation
changes your mind.
