A cool, short mindfulness style meditation, in which the practitioner is guided through breathing exercise and visualisation. Descriptions of spiderman's powers are given and the practitioner is invited to imagine that they have his powers in order to boost self-confidence.

Transcript

Begin by allowing your eyes to close,

Take a deep breath in and let it go all the way out.

Do a couple more deep breaths like this.

Relax,

Allow your breathing to return to normal and begin to imagine that you have the powers of Spider-Man.

You possess a spider-sense that allows you to sense danger with enough time to react.

You have super-fast reflexes.

Your coordination,

Balance and speed are all increased to superhuman levels.

Like a spider,

You can cling to any solid surface.

You have webshooters on your wrists and your strength,

Agility and stamina are all increased to superhuman levels too.

As you sit here,

Just imagine possessing all these powers for a few moments.

Imagine what that would feel like.

But right now,

Like a spider in the centre of her web,

You are completely still,

Aware of your surroundings.

You are ready to spring into action but at the same time you are completely at rest.

Rest here in awareness as long as you need to.

Then,

When you are ready,

Come back to a sense of yourself.

Forget about having Spider-Man's powers.

Feel your own strength as you ready yourself now for the world.

And in your own time,

Take one more deep breath,

Then open your eyes.
