Remember being a child and letting your imagination run wild? Imagination is a powerful driver in the human brain and there's no age limit to how much you can use it. Imagination has created everything around us and it can create our future. Imagination, along with creativity can also be a very potent antidote to stress. 

In this meditation, you will learn to understand how your brain processes creative imagination and the practice will improve your ability to use your imagination on demand, to serve you.  

You will elicit your relaxation response, the complete opposite of the stress response. Twice a day for 10 min will increase your body's ability to counteract the daily wear and tear on your body from stressors and demands of life. Imagining a safe place can help lower the stress response from stressful situations, real or imagined, and help you move toward your true goals in life. 

You don't need a special place, clothes or time. Just find a safe spot, sit comfortably and listen. Earphones are great if you have them

This is a great practice to help you focus. You can choose words like "just this" , "in out" , "calm ease" or whatever serves you in this moment, to match with breath to elicit your relaxation response, the complete opposite of the stress response. Twice a day for 10 min will increase your body's ability to counteract the daily wear and tear on your body from stressors and demands of life. The single focus also trains your mind to gently release thoughts that may not be helping you and redirect them toward thoughts and actions that can help you move toward your true goals in life. You don't need a special place, clothes or time. Just find a safe spot, sit comfortably and listen. Earphones are great if you have them.

This 10 minute recording is designed to bring on your Relaxation Response, the exact opposite to your Stress Response. Find a comfortable place and take a mini break for your mind and body. It will increase your productivity, decrease stress levels and it will help your brain to practice your best self, the self that is at ease with the world. 

Regular practice of the relaxation response will improve any condition exacerbated by stress, while improving quality of life.
