Visualization

Creating a peaceful scene for mental relaxation: This is a simple visualization technique that is commonly used in meditation to enhance mental relaxation.

All you have to do is to imagine something that makes you feel calm and relaxed. I like to imagine myself at the beach, a lake or in a beautiful garden or use one if the images on this page if it helps. The key to make this technique work for you is to imagine your chosen scene of relaxation in vivid detail. For example: if you choose the beach then imagine how the sun would feel, what the wind and sand would feel like, imagine the smell of the ocean and even the seagulls in the distance. Take your time and imagine that you are actually on the beach i.e. make yourself feel like you are on the beach and surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of  the beach. You could also imagine a peaceful lake as in the picture above.

Imagine the peaceful scene you have chosen for yourself and visualizations in the following audio (visualizing white light etc). This is a 5 minute exercise.
