Ask A Stupid Question Day!

Welcome to change your mind meditation. I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and if you feel comfortable, close your eyes. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight. Take a deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight. One more deep breath in to the count of four and exhale to the count of eight.




Now I want you to feel that breath and entering your feet and then when you exhale release any tension in your feet. Take a deep breath into your legs and now exhale and release any tension in your calves and thighs. Take a deep breath into your torso and release any tension in your stomach and anxiety you may hold there. Take a deep breath into your arms and release any tension in your shoulders. Bring your shoulders down from your ears. Release any tension in your hands and in your arms. Take a deep breath into your head and your neck. Release any tension in your forehead, in your jaw and in your neck. Take one more deep breath into your whole body and when you release the breath, let go of any remaining tension.



I want you to picture your own body. As you look at your body, your skin begins to become transparent and you can into your body. I want you to especially look at your brain. As you look at your brain it starts to grow and soon you’re standing next to it. The outside of your brain, the gray matter, also begins to become transparent. As it continues to grow you’re able to look inside your brain and see the neurons inside your brain and the chemical reactions that control your thoughts in your feelings. As you watch your brain you realize that the world is not concrete facts and situations, but the interpretations of those facts that happen in your brain and these chemical reactions. Only 10% of our happiness is based on our situation, circumstances and things that happen to us. The rest is based on these chemicals in our brains that are genetic, and the things that we do to promote happiness in our lives. As you come to that realization I want you to remember that feeling and start to return to the room where you’re sitting or lying down. I want you to start to hear the sounds around you and feel where you’re sitting or lying down. Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready you can open your eyes.



Thank you for taking this time. Remember meditation changes your mind.
