Tomorrow, the news and social media might tell you it is "Blue Monday"—statistically the saddest day of the year. But here is the secret: that is just a story. You do not have to read from that script.In this protective and uplifting guided meditation, Martin helps you create your own weather. Instead of bracing against the January cold, we will ignite a warm, internal light that acts as a shield against negativity.In this session, we will:

• The Physical Thaw: A breathing technique to drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and release the "winter freeze" from your body.
• The Internal Gold: Visualize a spark in your solar plexus that grows into a radiant shield, turning grey mist into warmth.
• The "Bubble" Technique: Learn how to insulate yourself so that negative news and stress simply evaporate before they touch you.
• Key Affirmation: "I create my own weather. The calendar does not dictate my peace."

Why listen? Don't let the calendar tell you how to feel. Use these 10 minutes to inoculate yourself against the "Monday Blues" and start your week protected, warm, and calm.Disclaimer: These sessions are for educational purposes and relaxation. Please do not listen while driving or operating machinery.Share the Warmth: If you know someone who dreads Mondays or struggles with the winter months, please share this "antidote" with them.
