Relaxation Meditation to Chile

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.   Take a deep breath in and as you exhale release all stress and tension from your body.  Take a deep breath in, breathing in relaxation and as you exhale, releasing all tension and stress.  Take another deep breath in and with this final exhale release any remaining tension that you hold in your body.  Let your breathing return to normal.  Let your body and mind feel relaxed.  Let your body feel heavy and warm and relaxed.

Now you are ready to go on a trip with me.  I’m so excited that you decided to come on this trip.  We are going to be landing soon, and I can’t wait to show you around Chile.  I have traveled around Chile many times.  So, you can just get to relax and I can show you around. It’s ok if you don’t speak Spanish.  I do and I’m going to take care of you on this trip and make sure you have fun.  We are getting ready to land in Santiago.   We can spend a little bit of time visiting the city, and then decide where we would like to spend the rest of our month on vacation.  I love traveling to Chile because I get to feel a bit disoriented with a different language and a different culture.  It always allows me to put my life into perspective and think about what is important to me and what I want in my life moving forward.  I hope to allow you to experience that as well on this trip.  So I am going to take care of everything and you can just relax and enjoy yourself and have fun.  I think we might start off by going to Valpariaso so we can see the ocean and spend some time visiting that city that I love.  We may decide to spend the whole month there, if you love it, or we can go up to the most perfect desert in the world.   The last time I visited I met a 30 year old man who had never seen rain.   It’s a beautiful place to visit, or we can go down south and visit some of the islands.  It depends on what we feel like doing.  That is one of my favorite parts about visiting Chile, is I have never had to plan a trip.  There are always plenty of guest houses, so if one doesn’t have room we can just go to another one.  If we love a place we can stay for a week or the whole time and when we are ready to move on we can travel to the next city on the list.   We don’t have t o preplan, just enjoy ourselves and you can relax and be on vacation.  Since I have traveled here before I can take care of you and I don’t have anywhere I need to be or need to see.  So we can do exactly what you want to do.  You are going to love it here.  It is so exciting to be able to travel together and have a whole month off  for vacation to do whatever we want.  I want you to remember that feeling, as you start to begin to return to the room or if you prefer just to drift off to sleep with dreams of vacation.  Remember meditation changes your mind

Relaxing Massage Meditation ASMR

Changing things up this week.  I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to change your mind meditation.   I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down.  We are going to start with three deep breaths.  Close your eyes if you are comfortable or you can just look at the slides.   Take a deep breath in and exhale.  As you exhale release any tension in your body. Take a deep breath in and feel yourself becoming deeply relaxed.   One more deep breath in and on your exhale let go of any tension, any concerns of the day let it all go.  This is your time to relax and to be taken care of and calm down.  

I want you to picture yourself at a spa.  You're sitting in the relaxation room waiting for your massage to begin.   You are excited about this treatment today.  You've needed some time to relax and feel taken care of.  As you Massage Therapist enters the room.   She calls your name and escorts you to the treatment room.  She shows you the table and where you can hang your robe.  She leaves the room to let you disrobe and get under the sheet on the table.  You climb onto the table face down with your face in the face cradle. 

After you get comfortable you hear a quiet knock on the door.  Your therapist reenters the room.  Your therapist has warm massage oil.  She fills her hand with massage oil and pulls the sheet down to your hips.  She rubs the warm massage oil on you back using long, slow strokes; Spreading the massage oil gently on your back.  Your body relaxes as she begins to knead the muscle on the side of your back and your shoulders.  As your body relaxes so does your mind.  You let all concerns leave your mind and just enjoy the wonderful massage.  This is your time to relax. 

She massages your legs on the back and your feet.  Everything is warm.  There is quite massage music in the background.  The lights are dim and you can smell a bit lavender in the massage oil. 
She has you flip over, making sure you're fully covered by the sheet, and massages the front of your legs in long slow strokes.  Your muscles relax.  The pressure is enough that you can feel it and its not ticklish but it does not hurt.  She massages your arms and your hands, relaxing your biceps and the muscles in your wrists.  Then she sits behind you and slowly massages your shoulders and you scalp and ends with your face.  You are deeply relaxed, totally relaxed.  Remember this feeling of contentment and relaxation.  You can begin to return to the room where you are or decide to drift off to sleep. 

Remember meditation changes your mind.

Creativity Meditation for Beginners

Now I want you to picture yourself lying down. As you picture yourself your body begins to get bigger and bigger, and as you look at your head your skin becomes transparent and you can see your brain. As your head get bigger and bigger you begin to be able to see into your brain to the neurons inside your brain. I want you to look around inside of your brain; see the connections between the synapses. You may see what look like cobwebs of some permanent connections, forcing those connections to stay together. I want you to clean away those cobwebs, in order to release our creativity we have let go of some of the filters we use to bring in stimulation and to let ideas out. When our brain sees new information or thinks about new ideas it filters that information through the connections we formed from past experience, and it ignores the new information that we don't feel is irrelevant based on past information. That limits our creativity because we don't see the new information and we filter out new ideas that our brain might create. So right now you are going to clean away all of the cobwebs from your brain to allow that new information to enter, and allow your brain to create new ideas you may never have thought of before because your brain was working in the patterns that it's established from your past. I want you to think about creating that flexibility in your brain and taking that with you as you begin to return to the room. Feel where you're sitting or lying down; start to wiggler fingers and toes, and if you feel comfortable you can open your eyes and just drift off to sleep. Remember meditation changes your mind.

Vacation Meditation ASMR

The Berkshires are one of my favorite places in the world.  I went to college there and visit often.  My family had a cottage there so I never actually stayed at the Porches hotel but it is a place I will definitely get to some day: http://www.porches.com/.   Mass  MoCA is my favorite museum in the world and if you are ever in the area don’t miss a visit: http://www.massmoca.org/.   You can visit several times a year and always see something new.  These are both in North Adams Massachusetts and this area of the US is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and it will always have part of my heart.

I’m going to take you on a trip to one of my favorite places.  You are going on vacation and you’re driving through the Berkshires in Massachusetts.  It’s a beautiful fall day.  The leaves have all changed colors but they are still on the trees.  You are driving through the hills with the beautiful colors surrounding you.  As you drive through the small towns you may stop to get coffee or a sandwich.  You can stop in Great Barrington to have a sandwich the deli.  You can keep driving through and stop in Lennox or Lee and have a coffee or do some shopping.  Cute little towns along the way with small stores and restaurants for you to peruse, but your destination is up north, going to the Porches hotel.  You check in to your beautiful room at the Porches hotel and sleep after your long drive through the Berkshires.  The next day you can visit the museum of art across the street, at Mass MoCA.  It has one of the largest galleries for contemporary art and their exhibits at always interesting.  You can head into town to have lunch, while you enjoy the rest of your day and plan your vacation.  There is lots to do in the Berkshires and you have several days to relax and enjoy your time.

I want you to remember that feeling of relaxation as you start to return to the room.  You can wiggle your fingers and toes and when you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

ASMR Meditation for Beginners (spa)

Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down, and if you feel comfortable close your eyes.   If you have been doing these meditations you have probably started to build up your lung capacity so we are going to increase the length of time of the breathing.  So, we will still start off with an in breath to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight; releasing any tension.  Now take a deep breath in to the count of five and exhale to the count of ten; let yourself relax.  Take a deep breath and to the count of six and exhale to the count of twelve if you can; deep exhale.

Now, even out your breathing.  Feel that breath coming in through your feet and as you exhale release any tension in your feet.  Inhale into your legs and as you exhale release any tension in your legs; in your calves and your thighs.  Take a deep breath into your torso and let your stomach relax; release any tension in your back.  Take a deep breath into your arms and as you exhale release any tension in your shoulders and your hands and your arms.  Take a deep breath in to your head and your neck and as you exhale let your forehead relax, your jaw relax and the back of your neck.  Take one more deep breath into your whole body and on this final exhale release any remaining tension you may hold in your body.   

Now we will begin our relaxing spa day.   You have been looking forward to this as your time to relax.   You’ve gotten there early so you can use the sauna and the steam room and the hot tub and there is even a cold punge.  You go and sit in the steam room and inhale and exhale as you relax.  You may decide to try the cold plunge and then run quickly to the hot tub to warm back up.  As you allow yourself to relax you know you have all day.  You can enjoy the spa and relax before you even get to your treatment.  You may try the cold plunge again before heading to the sauna to dry off a bit and then go to the relaxation room to wait for your treatment.  You may be getting a facial, or a massage, or a scrub, maybe a manicure and pedicure; whatever you desire.  Knowing that after your treatment you’ll again get to use the steam room and sauna and relax for as long as you would like.  There is tea and coffee and snacks so you can enjoy a long day at the spa.  You are already feeling so good and relaxed even before treatment and you are excited about your upcoming treatment.   

I want to remember that feeling as you start to return to the room.  You can wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready you can open your eyes.  Remember that feeling of relaxation and anticipation of your upcoming spa treatment, and keep that feeling for the rest of the day.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

It's My Baby's Birthday!

Now I want you to picture that you have the whole day ahead of you to do whatever you want.  This is your perfect day.  You can think about who you want to spend your time with.  Where you would like to be?  What you would like to do.  Will you spend time with family, with friends or will you just take a relaxing day by yourself with no obligations.  If you could choose anywhere where would you be on this day?  Is it a place that you have been before or just some place that you imagine will be perfect?  What will you do with your day?  Break you day up and think about how you will spend your morning.   What will you eat?  Where will you go?  Who will you see?  How will you spend your lunch hour?  Maybe you will take a lunch two or three hours.  How will you spend your time in the afternoon?  Where would you like to be?  What would be fun to do?  Or, do you just want to relax.  How will you spend your evening?  What will you have for dinner?   Will you go out later in the evening, or will you go to sleep early and get your rest?  Whatever it is, it’s your perfect day.  Remember that feeling of excitement and joy in having that whole day to yourself.  When you feel comfortable start to return to the room.   Hear the sounds around you.  Feel where you are sitting or lying down.  Wiggle your toes and your hands and think about if there is any way you can incorporate some piece of your perfect day into one of your upcoming days to remember that feeling and experience some of that Joy.  Remember meditation changes your mind.

Don't Miss Saxaphone Day

Now I want you to picture yourself in an airplane. You are on vacation.  You are just starting your vacation and you’re getting ready to land on the island of Bali in Indonesia.  You look out the window of the plane and you see the volcano ahead, and you look like you’re going to land on the water you are so close to the water. At the last minute the runway comes up and you land the airport. You go to your hotel by the beach, and enjoy some relaxation on the beach or by the pool as you recover from jet lag.  That night you go out to taste some of the local food; some fried fish or duck with rice or just some rice with vegetables and peanut sauce.  You enjoy walking around you could spell spices in the air, feel the humidity.  It’s warm and comfortable; at night there is a slight breeze and cools down a little bit.  The next day you make a point of getting a massage and local spa and that evening catching a local gamelan (Indonesian orchestra) and dance performance.  As you are back in your hotel you think about your plans for the rest of the week in Bali.  You may go up into the mountains where it’s a bit cooler;  go to the monkey sanctuary or go to see the volcano. Your whole week is ahead of you with plenty of time to relax.  I want you to keep that feeling as you start to return to the room.  Hear the sounds around you.  Feel where you are sitting or lying down.  You feel relaxed and energized by in little trip.  Remember the dictation changes your mind

Yes! It's National Candy Corn Day

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 to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.  Another deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.  One more deep breath in to the count of four and exhale the count of eight.

Now I want you to think about a situation in your past for which you hold some guilt.   Don’t place any judgment on it.  Just remember the situation, almost as a third party.  Remember what happened.  This situation may cause you anxiety to think about but try to remove yourself a bit and just remember what happened.  Now I want you to picture yourself sitting in the chair and I want you to act as if the person in the chair is a good friend of yours that had come to you seeking advice.  They tell you about the situation.  What are the things that you tell them to comfort them?   Make them feel better about the situation.  How would you feel about a friend who told you about this situation?  You probably would judge the much less harshly than you judge yourself.  Think of what you tell them, and absorb information. Comfort yourself.  Remember we are human we make mistakes. We learn from those mistakes and move on.  Remembering and changing our behavior as a result is useful, but that guilt feeling is not and can be debilitating.  So reach over and give that friend in the chair a hug, and try to release a least a piece of that guilt into the universe.

Happy Dictionary Day

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 to the count of four and release to the count of eight. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight. One more inhale to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.




Now I want you to even out your breathing and feel that breath coming in through your feet; filling your feet and as you exhale release any tension in your feet. Take a deep breath and in to your legs and release any tension you may hold in your legs. Take a deep breath into your torso and as you exhale release any anxiety you may hold in your stomach or in your back. Take a deep breath in to your arms and as you exhale release any tension in your shoulders and your hands and biceps. Take another deep breath into your head and your neck, and as you exhale release any tension you may hold in your forehead, jaw and the back of your neck.



I want you to think about a situation or person that is causing anxiety. Don’t put any judgment on it; just think about what it is. Now I want you think about whether you will remember that anxiety the year from now, six months from now, or three months from now. How important is that anxiety your life? Most likely you will not recollect it in a year at all. Now I want you to think about your fears with this anxiety. What is the worst thing that can happen based on this problem? If it surrounds a person and usually our anxiety surrounds how others will feel about; will our family be disappointed in us, will our boss be angry, will we be disappointed in ourselves? Picture yourself with that worst case scenario, imagine that your boss is yelling at you or your family is yelling at you, but while that’s going on you remain calm and composed. You know that anxiety and stress will not help you solve this problem. Remaining calm and serene does not negate the problem, it doesn’t diminish the problem but it makes you better able to handle it. You are better able to function without the cloud of anxiety and stress clouding your vision, clouding your decisions. Remember to relax. Worrying does not help us solve problems. It doesn’t prove that we take problem seriously; it just proves that we worry. I want you to feel that calm, in the midst of chaos around you. You are relaxed. You are clear. You are able to make helpful decisions without being overwhelmed. I want you to remember that feeling as you start to return to the room. Feel where you’re sitting or lying down. Hear the sounds around you. Smell and smells and one you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.

Thank you for taking this time today. Remember meditation changes your mind.

It's Moldy Cheese Day

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

Take a deep breath in to your head and your neck, and release any tension in your forehead, jaw and neck. Take one final deep breath and fill your whole body. Exhale and let go of any remaining tension you may hold.

Now I want you to picture your skin. Picture how it covers your whole body. Picture the skin on your hands and legs, and your stomach. I want you to think about the fact that all of the skin on your body has regenerated within the last seven years. None of the skin you have in your body was there seven years ago. It is all replenished. Your skin is constantly replenishing itself. We shed old cells and create new cells. We tend to think of ourselves as fixed but biologically we are constantly changing. Letting go of the dead cells and building new cells. We tend to think of ourselves as fixed but biologically we are constantly changing, we are constantly rejuvenating. Most of the cells in our body will rebuild and rejuvenate every 7 years. Thinking specifically of our skin, none of the skin on your body felt anything that occurred more than seven years ago. Most of the skin on the surface was not there more than a month ago. This gives you the freedom to rejuvenate yourself. To see yourself as able to change, as biologically you change all the time.

I want you to slowly start to return to the room which sitting. Start to hear the sounds around you. Start to feel where you are sitting or lying down. Remember this feeling that you’re able to change. That your body is already changing. That you not stuck with any of your past history. Thank you for taking this time today.

Happy Name Your Car Day

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. 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 the count of eight. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and release to the count of eight.

Now I want you to even out your breathing. Feel your breath coming in through your feet and as you exhale release any tension in your feet. Take a deep breath and two you legs and as you exhale release any tension in your legs. Take a deep breath in to your torso and as you release, let go of any anxiety you may hold in your stomach.

Take a deep breath in to head and neck and release any tension in your forehead, in your jaw and in your neck. Take one final deep breath in for your whole body and as you exhale release any remaining tension in your body.

I want you think about your health and fitness goals. I want you to think about movement and food as the key to unlocking your body’s potential. Picture yourself as being active. You go out of your way to bring movement into your life. Your body does not feel good when you’ve sat most the day. Look for excuses to stand and walk around. Enjoy moving your body. It doesn’t need to be vigorous exercise just some sort of movement. Prevent yourself from sitting all day. If you work at a computer look for chances to stand. You may be able to raise a laptop up so that you can stand at your desk or walk around at your office. Take breaks to stretch throughout the day.

Think of food as what fuels your body and your mind. Your body needs vitamins and nutrients and so does your mind. Eating processed sugary foods can not only affect your body, but it can increase anxiety and depression. Our body and our brain need vitamins. Seek out whole grains, fruits and vegetables. They will make you feel better. They are what our body craves. Sugary foods and high fat foods may meet an immediate need but they effect you body and brain negatively. I will affect the rest of your day. Picture yourself as the kind of person who seeks out vegetables and fruits, whole grains, lean proteins to make yourself feel better and make your brain work better. You are the kind of person that seeks out a healthy lifestyle, because it fuels your brain and your body.

Now, I want you to start to return to the room where you are sitting. Hear the sounds in the room, feel where you are sitting or lying down. Start to wiggle your fingers and toes and when you feel comfortable open your eyes. Thank you for taking this time. Remember meditation changes your mind.

I want you to picture your own body. As you look at your body, your skin begins to become transparent and you can into your body. I want you to especially look at your brain. As you look at your brain it starts to grow and soon you’re standing next to it. The outside of your brain, the gray matter, also begins to become transparent. As it continues to grow you’re able to look inside your brain and see the neurons inside your brain and the chemical reactions that control your thoughts in your feelings. As you watch your brain you realize that the world is not concrete facts and situations, but the interpretations of those facts that happen in your brain and these chemical reactions. Only 10% of our happiness is based on our situation, circumstances and things that happen to us. The rest is based on these chemicals in our brains that are genetic, and the things that we do to promote happiness in our lives. As you come to that realization I want you to remember that feeling and start to return to the room where you’re sitting or lying down. I want you to start to hear the sounds around you and feel where you’re sitting or lying down. Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready you can open your eyes.

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!

I’m not quite ready to come out to my friends and family about putting videos on YouTube, but I did want to talk a about why I’m making these videos.


When I was doing counseling I found that one of the main mental health problems people have are the stories that they tell themselves about themselves. What is the story that you tell yourself about what you personality is and what kind of person you are. In counseling I would often try to get people to change their narrative by having them think about alternative narratives and trying to point out examples of where their narratives did not ring true. One example I have for myself is that I always thought of myself as a sedentary and non-athletic person. I had put on weight in elementary school and was heavy through junior high and never liked group sports. When I began doing these meditations I wrote one about being active (which I will post soon). I began to realize that my narrative was not true. I lost most of the weight in high school and although I have gained and lost weight since then I have been an average weight more often than not. More importantly I have excercised at a gym for most of my adult life and now exercise 6 days a week. I also started thinking about my childhood and although I never played sports I spent sun up to sun down in a pool during the summers. I was not an inactive kid. My narrative didn’t ring true

I think often as adults our brains are very rigid and we think our narratives are fixed. It is difficult to get our brains to put aside our past beliefs as we try to change our thoughts about our self. I don’t know if you have ever tried to use affirmations to change your thoughts. I have and although I try to believe an affirmation like “I am an energetic person” part of my brain keeps yelling “That is bull.” I have found that in meditation my brain is more flexible so it’s easier to tell my brain new stories to believe. I think through visualizations you’re able to almost live through the experience, proving that your narrative is false. Actions always to speak louder than words. Our brains are not very good at distinguishing a real memory or real story from a story we have created in detail. That is why musicians can think through a piece of music and how they would play it and get almost as much out of this as an actual practice session. Athletes use the same visualization techniques to live through the perfect winning scenario.

The more often you use these visualizations the more they become integrated into your thoughts. I hope these meditations help you as much as they are helping me. Please leave me comments. I know my comments will not always be positive but the few I have received have had me on a high all day. Thanks for listening and please subscribe and send feedback. Remember meditation changes your mind.

Guided Relaxation Meditation for Success

Please subscribe on YouTube for a new Video every Wednesday.

I have been using this meditation to help myself work towards my goals for starting my own business.  I know I can do it because I have done it before in my visualizations.  This helps me to keep working and trying despite the ups and downs.  This visualization has also helped me decide where I want my business to go and what I hope it will eventually accomplish. I hope you enjoy it. 

I have started working with speech recognition software so future posts will have a transcript of the meditation (as well as funny speech recognition errors).
