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.

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.



Now I want you to feel that breath coming in through your feet and then even out your breathing. As you exhale, release any tension you may hold in your feet. Take a deep breath in to your legs and as you exhale release any tension you may hold in your legs. Take a deep breath into your torso and release any anxiety you may hold in your stomach and exhale. Take a deep breath into your arms, and release the muscles in your shoulders and the muscles in your hands. 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. Remember meditation changes your mind.

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 into your arms and release any tension in your shoulders and your hands. 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.

Now I want you to feel that breath and entering your feet and then when you exhale release any tension in your feet. Take a deep breath into your legs and now exhale and release any tension in your calves and thighs. Take a deep breath into your torso and release any tension in your stomach and anxiety you may hold there. Take a deep breath into your arms and release any tension in your shoulders. Bring your shoulders down from your ears. Release any tension in your hands and in your arms. Take a deep breath into your head and your neck. Release any tension in your forehead, in your jaw and in your neck. Take one more deep breath into your whole body and when you release the breath, let go of any remaining tension.



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.

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.
