Hi and welcome to this guided meditation.
My name is Leslie and I will be your guide through these minutes of relaxation.
To start the meditation,
Move into a comfortable position.
This can be sitting or sleeping.
If you are sitting on the floor,
You can sit cross-legged.
If using a chair,
Sit with your feet flat on the ground.
Keep your back upright,
Hands on your knees facing outward and head slightly tilted upward.
If sleeping,
Sleep flat on your back without a pillow,
Arms to your sides facing upwards.
Keep your eyes closed with a gentle focus on your eyebrows.
Let's focus on our breathing and start with taking a few deep breaths.
Breathe in through your nose and let there fill your lungs and then breathe out slowly through your nose.
As we go through this meditation,
We will keep taking these deep relaxing breaths.
And if you find yourself losing focus,
Then bring back your focus to my voice and continue taking deep relaxing breaths.
This meditation is focused on change.
We all want change in our life but sometimes the idea of change remains just an idea.
The idea stays in our mind and never moves to reality.
As you breathe,
Focus your mind on the word change.
Think about what you want to change today.
Think about the one thing that you want to change which keeps getting put off.
It could be something to do with your relationships or that pending home project or the recipe that has been on your mind for a long time or the self-development courses you're meant to be taking.
As you keep taking deep breaths,
Think about this change you want to make and see this change in your mind.
Tell yourself what this change means to you.
Why is it important for you to make this change?
And now think about the reasons that have stopped you from making this change.
Reflect on these reasons.
As you reflect on these reasons,
Ask yourself if these are valid reasons or just excuses.
Ask yourself if these reasons can be overcome.
Ask yourself if these reasons are really blocking you from making the change you want in your life.
As you keep breathing,
Start to focus again on the change that you want.
Think about what this change means to you.
Think about how this change can move the direction of your life.
And as we come out of this meditation,
Let yourself acknowledge this truth that if we don't change what we want to change,
What we want to change will never change.
If we don't change what we want to change,
What we want to change will never change.
And as we take a final deep breath in this meditation,
Reflect on that one thing that you can change today.
Reflect on that one thing that you can change today that will take you closer to the change you want to see.
As you come out from this meditation,
Keep these thoughts in your mind.
And when you are there,
You can open your eyes.
Go about and make that change today.
