Episode 8: Guided Mindfulness Meditation and Treehouse Visualization for Beginners/Anxiety

  Trying not to fall off and die. Photo has nothing to do with meditation but I was bored of all my meditation photos. Photo by @Joeburke108 on Instagram This episode is a guided meditation intended for complete beginners who need more guidance and have a racing mind. My hope is with this meditation to impart the tips you can use in the future to meditate on your own, without anyone’s voice as your guide. There is no shame in using guided meditations on Youtube, they are an Excellent resource to help you relax and feel genuine relief from anxiety and mental overwhelm. I understand that this treehouse visualization exercise may be a bit “silly” or childish. It probably is, I am a grown child. With an open mind, visualization is a powerful practice of cultivating your imaginative capabilities. The more clearly we can visualize what we want in our minds, the more effectively we can attract what we want to see in our lives. We are creating our reality with our perception, so if we feel appreciation for our lives, and use our visualizations as a tool for creation, you can start to see some pretty unbelievable occurrences in your life. Don’t take my word for it, these things must be experienced personally. This meditation is mainly a great way to create a peaceful inner sanctuary that you can use to help transition out of a negative mindset and into a healthier, happier mindset.

Remember that meditation is like exercise, in that results are only seen and maintained with consistent, earnest, diligent, committed daily practice. I know I am prone to hyperbole, but I mean it literally when I say the rewards are infinite.
