I'll be taking you through a guided visualization that I call power from the podium.
Let's begin by finding somewhere comfortable to sit or lie down.
Your eyes can be open or closed and we'll begin by taking three breaths.
Breath number one release Breath number two release.
Breath number three and release.
Go ahead and close your eyes if you haven't already.
I'd like for you to imagine yourself standing backstage,
Moments away from going up on stage for your keynote speech or presentation in front of a live audience.
As you're standing there feeling what you're feeling,
Seeing out of your own eyes,
I want you to see a beautiful beam of warm light coming down on you.
Starting with your head and going down towards your feet,
You feel a warm and peaceful energy spreading throughout your body.
As this warm comforting light progresses throughout your body,
Take in a deep breath and as you exhale you release any stress that you're holding on to.
Take in another breath now and as you exhale let out a sigh as sighing is a signal to your body that all is well.
You notice that the light automatically transforms any stress that exists in your body in this moment and changes it into confidence and peaceful excitement.
Take one more deep breath in and sigh as you exhale.
Now as you are ready to go you hear the announcer say your name and as you hear your name you feel a sense of confidence and excitement fill your body.
Now you walk on stage.
With each step that you take you feel your confidence building.
You begin to feel a sense of joy as you approach the area where you will be presenting whether that be a podium or a specific spot on the stage.
Before you begin your presentation take a moment to look out to the audience.
When you do you emotionally connect with them by sending out a ray of love from your chest and your heart out to the audience.
A ray of loving energy emanates from your chest and envelops them in your love.
And as you smile you take a deep breath in and exhale.
You begin your presentation and notice that you are calm,
Confident,
And in the present moment.
You notice that you are pacing out the material just the way you want it to.
Your timing is perfect.
As you walk the audience through your material you take time to look into the eyes of the audience members,
Stopping for a few seconds on each one to connect with them energetically.
As you wrap up and finish your material you go to the center of the stage and you say thank you.
As you say these words you feel a sense of calm and peace wash all over your body.
As you look out to the audience you see in their eyes and in their body language that the audience has received an important message from you.
It's as though they're grateful for receiving your presentation and you feel this gratitude in your chest and your body right now.
As you walk off the stage you greet the host who's smiling and clearly from their body language they are very happy.
You get the sense that you just made them look amazing.
With this sense of pride and accomplishment I want you to bring yourself back into the room where you are sitting or lying now.
And when you're ready go ahead and open your eyes and congratulations on a wonderful presentation.
