Let's have an experience.
Take a trip without ever leaving your couch or bed or wherever you are listening to this meditation.
Let's first take a deep breath in through the nose.
Hold it.
One,
Two,
Three.
Now release that breath through your mouth,
Blowing the negative energy out away from you,
Preparing you for a positive experience.
Now gently close your eyes,
Relax,
And let's begin our journey into our imagination meditation.
Ah,
It's morning.
A beautiful new day.
Let's look out the window.
It's snowing.
The very first snowfall of the year.
Snowflakes drift down from the gray sky,
Landing gently on the bare tree branches,
Covering them in a shimmery white coat.
All the rooftops are layered with a thick blanket of snow.
You rush to your closet and pull out a plush sweatshirt and warm fleece pants.
You hurriedly throw on your coat,
Mittens,
And your fur-lined boots as you rush out the door to this magical world,
Blanketed in pristine white.
You happily carry your very used sled from the garage to the nearest hill and take many turns sliding down,
Feeling cold but very giddy in this beautiful magical world.
You feel the cold breeze blowing in your face,
Chilling your body,
And turning your nose and cheeks a cherry red.
Snowballs whiz past your head as you're caught in an impromptu snowball fight that you quickly join in,
Rolling piles of snow as you hide behind your newly constructed snow fort.
You meander over to a group,
Adding on their third and final level to their snowman.
As they place some random rocks and a carrot to create Mr.
Snowman's face,
You generously hand over your hat and scarf to finish the project and give Mr.
Snowman new life.
After hours of fun in the snow,
You head back to the safety and warmth of your cozy home.
You shed your frozen wet clothes and warm yourself by the crackling fire.
You slowly sip your mug of hot chocolate with a generous dollop of whipped cream to sweeten the treat.
You're tired and temporarily chilled,
But it's been such a wonderful day of fun and living in the moment,
Enjoying a simple pleasure of playing in the snow,
Fully immersed in the experience.
Now let's take a deep breath in.
Hold it.
One,
Two,
Three.
And release that breath as you open your eyes and come back to your reality.
No matter your life or circumstances,
We all need to try to stay in the moment,
Live in the moment,
Fully experience each second we are blessed to have.
Now go out to live fully and not let tomorrow's worries ruin the blessings of today.
Be free to live fully.
