Meditation to Relax the Mind



A short meditation break in the day will help you unwind and clear your head. If you try it at night, it will help you relax and prepare for sleep.


Sit down in a comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed. Close your eyes and allow your mind to drift to a plesant, peaceful place... where you can relax ...completely... a safe...secure place...where nothing can bother you, it may be a familiar place, or an imaginary one...perhaps a garden...a place in the countryside...or maybe a room, but it is a place where you feel safe and able to let go...completely...a place that is unique and special to you.


When you are in your place...notice the light; is it bright, dim or natural? Notice the temperature level; hot, warm or cool? Be aware of the colours that surround you...the shapes...textures...the familiar objects that make the place special.


Continue to relax in your special place...enjoying the sounds...the smells...the atmosphere...with nobody wanting anything from you.


To end the meditation, slowly bring your attention back to the room. when you are ready, open your eyes.
