Hello beautiful spirits,
My name is Zahra.
I'm here to guide you through a five-minute meditation acknowledging the power of your mind.
For this practice,
You will need to close the eyes,
Take a moment to notice how the body is resting,
Keep the spine as straight as possible,
And allow the muscles to relax.
With eyes closed,
Try to bring to mind the room or space in which you are sitting.
Can you picture where in the room your body is resting?
Try to visualize the room in your mind.
Picture the floor,
The walls,
And any doors.
See what else you can bring up to piece together this space in your mind.
Letting go of the room,
Picture yourself somewhere peaceful.
It may be a beach,
A forest,
Or whatever your happy place is.
In the same way,
Picture the space around you.
Try to bring up as many details as possible.
Letting go of the visualization,
Bring to mind a song or tune you know well.
Try to hear the words or melody in your head.
Now use the mind to change the experience of hearing the song.
Try to turn the volume down,
Making the song quiet in your head.
Turn the volume up a bit.
Investigate what it's like to slow down the song or speed it up.
Pause for a moment at the end of this practice to recognize the power of your own mind and all the places that it can take you.
With a small amount of effort,
You can conjure up visualizations,
Play music,
And alter the experience in any way you choose.
Take a deep breath,
Inhale,
And exhale,
Let go.
You are now ready to start your day,
Your evening,
Or your night.
