Easy Guided Imagery Relaxation For The Busy And Stressed

By Ronald C. Payne


Guided Imagery Relaxation videos are some of the most effective meditation tools available in the market today. As a matter of fact, you can find many of these videos spread out throughout the internet for free. However, you may already know that this can be quite a huge task to undergo considering the size of the internet, the amount of junk available on the internet, and the fact that we sometimes feel that we don't even have enough time for our jobs and families... let alone to go hunting for guided relaxation videos online too!

Guided meditation (often known as guided relaxation) is used for relaxation purposes, healing and sometimes spiritual development. It is a proven way to relax the mind and attain inner peace.... Or at least to help turn the volume down on the seemingly never ending noise that is in many people's minds. The importance of guided meditation is to help let go of the outside world, clearing the mind of any thoughts and simply following the spoken words and visualizations. Many people believe in the effectiveness of guided meditation and guided relaxation because even if you fall asleep during the process your subconscious mind can still benefit.

A meditation or relaxation program can help you to relax and release all the negative thoughts and energy that is stored in your body. Through deep relaxation you can be able to reach hidden parts of your mind that you haven't used or remembered for a long time. Sometimes we may not even know that that part of the mind existed. This experience can unleash the power of the subconscious mind to release positive energy. Remember, our mind is like a computer that can be programmed with the things that we want to happen. If you want to change your state of mind to become more productive in any aspect of your life, guided meditation can certainly be a solution. There are several guided meditation techniques that will suit your needs.

Imagine yourself in a sunny place where you feel safe and secure. It can be a place you have visited before or it can be a place you only imagine. See yourself sitting in this place feeling very safe and secure. Feel bathed by the soft sunlight. Bask in that sunlight, feeling it bathe and warm you. Enjoy the experience of feeling that warmth. Breathe in the warmth and let it fill you from head to toe. If you notice any tensions in your body, let the sun's soft warmth gently relax your muscles and any tension your muscles may be holding. As you're imagining yourself sitting there, if your mind starts to drift or gets busy with everyday concerns (as minds have a tendency to do), just bring yourself back to feeling the sunlight bathe you. Relax into the warmth of the sunlight.

That's all there is to it! Spend a few minutes imagining yourself in a safe place being bathed by a warm, golden light. There are no rules to this and you can change it to suit yourself. You can even change the color from golden to any other color that appeals to you. Maybe you feel you would rather be bathed in blue or purple! When you start, you can ask yourself what color appeals to you most and go with that.

If you want to start meditating then you need to set aside the required time. If you think, "Hey I can't find the time I'm to busy," then think again. There are almost definitely periods in your day when you can find at least 15 to 20 minutes or so. For a start you can stop watching too much TV. Once you have found the time then what you need to do is sit on your favourite chair if you're going to listen to your guided relaxation whilst sitting down. Or lie down on your bed if that's the position you'd favour.
