So settling yourself into your meditation posture,

Making yourself comfortable.

Tuning into your body and seeing if there's any adjustments that need to be made so that you can go a little deeper today.

Asking your body how it would like to be held so that you can be still and you can be quiet and you can go a little further within.

Closing your eyes then once you're settled if you haven't done so already.

And tuning into whatever weather system is moving through you right now.

Perhaps it's a cloudy day or a sunny or there's scattered showers in your emotional system.

Remembering that all weather systems move and change.

All emotional weather systems do the same thing.

So everything that we do in meditation we don't judge whatever it is that we find.

If we find anything at all,

Just notice,

Observe,

Allow.

Today the intention of our meditation is to activate the third eye and to use it to help us to visualize the best case scenario for something that we may be worrying about at the moment.

They say that worry is like walking around with an umbrella expecting it to rain.

For anything that we worry about we tend to picture the worst case scenario and then we play that picture over and over in our minds.

Feeding energy for it and then in fact putting energy into that worst case scenario.

And of course while we need to be prepared for the worst case scenario we don't need to focus our energy on creating it.

So today we're going to use our visualization muscles,

Our third eye muscles to help to picture the best case scenario for something that's going on in our lives.

But first before we get into it let's do a few minutes of relaxation.

So tuning into your breath.

Making it a little bit deeper.

A little bit longer.

A little bit wider.

Slowing it right down.

Imagine that you're breathing in white.

You're breathing out any stress or anxiety.

So in with love and out letting go.

Shengbaile.

Letting go of anything that's going on in your life that may be distracting you.

So imagine putting anything that's occupying your mind into a box.

Filling up the box with people,

Events,

To-do lists,

Tasks,

Goals,

Worries,

Concerns.

Putting them all into a box.

Filling it up with all the things that may be on your mind.

And then imagining that box sitting outside your window or outside your door.

It's creating a blank canvas as such.

Just for this breath.

There's nowhere else you're meant to be.

Just for this moment,

Giving yourself full permission to be here.

Just for this breath,

This is the most important thing that you will do today.

Just for this breath.

I'm exactly where I am meant to be.

So calling to mind now,

Just one situation where you find that you might be focused on the worst case scenario.

And calling it to mind,

Picturing it in front of you,

Visualising it.

And noticing what happens to your thoughts and to your body when you think about this worst case scenario.

And even reflecting for a moment on how much energy you give this worst case scenario,

How many times do you replay it in the theatre of your mind.

And today we're using the third eye to erase this picture and focus on the best case scenario.

Because chances are the worst case scenario is draining of energy.

It's the tightening of muscles.

It's erasing of thoughts.

There's a stress and anxiety around it.

And all of that is energy that feeds into creating that reality,

Creating that picture.

And now I ask you to play,

To visualise,

To wonder what if,

What if the best case scenario happened?

To rub out this picture as such,

To erase it.

And now to visualise everything going right.

What is the best case scenario?

What would that look like,

Feel like,

Sound like,

Even taste like?

How would you be?

What would be happening?

What do you see?

Add it into that picture as many thoughts or feelings or textures,

Adding as much to the picture as you possibly can to embellish it,

To make it lifelike.

What if,

What if the best case scenario did come true?

What would you be?

What if you were focusing on that?

Running yourself through it over and over again.

What if?

How would it feel?

How would it be?

Breathe that in.

Let that picture integrate and infiltrate through your mind,

Your body,

Your muscles,

Your cells.

Sending this picture throughout your body,

Throughout your mind.

What if?

Creating a new reality,

A new picture to focus upon.

Drawing it to you,

Attracting it from the universe when you put it out there.

And from your third eye creating that picture and then releasing it.

Releasing it to whatever you believe in.

And asking that the universe show up for you to help you,

To help you to continue to focus on the best case scenario.

To pour energy into this vision.

To help you in the moments where through habit energy you might focus on the worst case scenario.

To tap you on the shoulder and say,

Remember,

We're focusing on something else right now.

To help to readjust your vision to this best case scenario.

So on the next in-breath really gathering up all of those feelings,

Those emotions around this new visualization.

And on the out-breath releasing it,

Releasing it to whatever you believe in.

The universe,

Spirit,

Buddha,

Whoever it is.

And do that three times.

On the in-breath really intensifying the feelings around this best case scenario.

And on the out-breath sending it out,

Sending it,

Giving it over,

Asking for help.

And once more,

What if,

Open to the possibility,

Open to the expansion and the light and the love that this brings.

Open to the freedom.

Gently now we bring this practice to a close.

You may need to do it again,

You may need to do this meditation regularly or you may have a good vision now of what it is to focus on.

But sometimes it takes a little,

A little bit of time,

A little bit of effort,

A little bit of practice.

So go off whatever feels right for you.

Now opening your eyes now,

Whenever you're ready.

Namaste.
