Do You Use Meditation?

Hi Friends,

Part of what I do in my career as a presenter is I create and share meditation exercises in my workshops. Even though the audience is usually experiencing this with soothing angelic music playing in the background, eyes closed and hearing the words being spoken to them - I believe many of you may still benefit from simply reading the words and allowing yourself to focus on the experience.

I love using meditation! For those of you who enjoy meditation as well - I created a "Guided Meditation" to share with you today! I hope you enjoy!

Begin breathing and relaxing.

Now picture yourself in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by trees, with brightly colored flowers all around. The grass is a lush green, and comes up to your ankles.

As you make your way across the meadow, you see something at the far edge, next to the trees.

As you come closer, you realize that it is a wishing well! An old-fashioned, magical wishing well, with a pitched roof, a round base made from stones, and a rope suspended down into the depths of the well.

As you start turning the crank handle to pull up the bucket on the end of the rope, you hear the creaking and banging as it swings from side to side as it makes its way to the top. When it gets to the top, you set the bucket on the side of the stone base, and look inside where you see an envelope with your name on the front!

You take out the envelope and prepare to open it, knowing that when you do, it will have a picture of you at your healthy weight.

Open the envelope now, and look at the picture from your subconscious.

As you gaze upon the picture, other images, words and phrases come rushing to your mind to help in the feeling as you experience your self as this person. Welcome to who you really are.

Know that you will easily be able to recall this image of who you really are when needed throughout your day, however that may be.

Before you leave, you thank the wishing well for its gift, lower the bucket back down for the next person, and start back across the meadow.

As you near the edge of the meadow where you began, slowly bring your attention back to the moment. Breathe more deeply. Stretch, begin to move your arms and legs, and take a moment in gratitude, knowing you may experience this vision of you at a healthy weight, living your life as you were meant to live any time you choose throughout your day.

Blessings, Lisa

I have for many years. My job is very stressful at Vandenberg AFB. I work for a civilian contractor in the missile launch business in a Range Safety Center. Lots of stress situations. To be in my zone and be at peace with myself has worked in lowering my stress, BP and heart beat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
