It's National Mole Day

Welcome to change your mind meditation.  I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and want to take a deep breath in to the count of four, and exhale to the count of eight.  Take 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 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.   Feel your breath entering your legs and as you exhale release any tension you may hold in your legs.   Take a deep breath into your torso and exhale any anxiety in your stomach, the tension you may hold in your back.  Take a deep breath into your arms release any stress in your shoulders.   Pull them down from your ears.  Release any tension in your hands.  Take a deep breath in to your head and your neck, and as you exhale release any tension in your forehead and jaw and in the back of your neck.  Take one final deep breath in to your whole body and as you exhale release any remaining tension in your body.

Now I want you to picture yourself as a small child.  You are running through field.  You are active.  You playing on a playground, or kicking a ball.  Picture yourself as an active child whether that was the case are not.   You may be swimming or playing group sports.   You may just be playing with other kids, on a playground, running around, jumping rope.  Picture yourself three or four years older.  You continue to be active.   You are walking or you may be running.  You may be in group sports or you may not.  You may just be active for your own enjoyment.  No picture yourself as a teenager.  You continue to be active.  You may be dancing in your room to music.  You may be playing with other kid.  You may be in high school sports.   You enjoy the feeling of moving your body, breathing heavily as you work your body.  Remember that feeling or enjoying physical activity. That that feeling reflect in your physical activity as an adult.  You enjoy being active.  You enjoy you moving your body.  Your body is made from movement not for sitting down. 

Remember that feeling as you start to return to the room.  Feel where you’re sitting or lying down.  Hear and the sounds in the room smell any smells.  When you feel ready you can open your eyes.  Thank you for taking this time today and remember meditation changes your mind.
