Mind's Eye Meditation.
Take a deep breath in.
And out.
Settle your body into a comfortable position.
And gently close your eyes.
And let the world outside fade for a moment.
I'm going to take you through a simple visualization workout.
To sharpen your ability to imagine.
To create.
Worlds within your mind's eye.
Throughout the meditation,
Maintain a lovely,
Rhythmic,
Steady breath.
To start with.
Picture a simple object that you've seen today.
Maybe a cup?
A pen or a candle.
See it clearly in your mind.
It's colour and texture.
Every small detail.
Now imagine this object in your hand.
And turn it slowly.
Rotating it around.
Now change its size.
Shrink it down.
And then expand it as if it's filling your field of vision.
Hold this image steady and breathe.
Now let the object fade and in its place imagine a single color.
Bright and vivid.
Perhaps the deep green.
Or sky blue.
Or a golden light.
See your color expanding,
Filling the space of your mind.
And now from within this beautiful,
Vivid,
Filling colour.
A scene emerges.
Perhaps your green becomes a lush forest.
Or you're blue,
A calm ocean.
Notice what you see.
What you hear and what you smell within this scene.
Place yourself within the scene.
Feel the ground beneath your feet.
Take one long slow breath and taste the air.
Now step forward into this scene.
You were there completely.
And as you walk,
Something happens.
Perhaps the deer steps into the clearing.
Or a hidden door appears in an old tree.
Allow this event to take place within your mind's eye.
Now you feel a gentle breeze and it carries the message that only you can hear.
Allow it to unfold naturally as if you're watching a story.
You don't need to control it.
Just observe.
Now let the seam dissolve into a single glowing shape.
A circle of light,
Clear and bright.
Now see the circle.
Become a triangle.
And now the triangle stretches into a star.
And the star blossoms into a flower of light.
See this flower shimmering within the center of your mind's eye.
And now change its texture.
See it morph into gold.
Now glass.
Now missed.
As it continually morphs into different textures and substances.
Breathe with each transformation.
Now see the shape melt into a radiant sphere.
And place it gently in your mind's eye between your brows.
See it glow.
Feel it expand.
Sense it filling your whole body with clarity.
Imagination and ease.
Take one last deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Feel the wonder.
And the Majesty.
Of your dazzling mind's eye.
Open your eyes slowly.
And bring this vividness with you.
Into the rest of your day.
