Visualisation Practices

Take a break and learn to relax for either a few minutes or as long as you like.


For all visualisations

  • Create a start and finish time - don't develop a dreamy attitude outside of practice times

  • Make sure you won't be disturbed while practising

  • Sit or lie down

  • Ignore mental distractions - tell your mind you will deal with them later

  • Relax as deeply as possible

  • Select a visualisation that is calming, healing, peaceful and tranquil

  • Enter the picture - or one of your own choice


After Practice

  • When ready to end the session come back slowly

  • Try to consciously hold the feeling of calm and freshness you have

  • Gently get up and continue your daily activities

  • Hold the feeling of peace for as long as you can


Some practice suggestions are given below…



Perfect Place Visualisation


Could this be your perfect place?

relaxing by the pond

watch the goldfish

moving slowly

the rippling water

the beautiful foliage on the plants 

listen to the water bubbling up

from the submerged water-spout

stay for as long as you need

it's here again when you're ready



Healing Waterfall

Approach the waterfall

 in your mind it rains down coloured light

a flow of red light

washing over your body

and penetrating your skin

down to the very core of your being

when satisfied change the colour

to yellow

to orange

to green

to blue

to indigo

to white

slowly absorb each colour until satisfied

admire the beautiful scenery

stay for as long as you need

it's here again when you're ready




My Meditation Cave

Always wanted your very own meditation cave?

In your mind create your own

private meditation cave

it could be this one

or another

feel its 'atmosphere'

seated inside

on rug and cushions

feel the silence

peace

tranquillity

stay for as long as you need

it's here again when you're ready



On the Beach

Relax on your own private Beach

picture your favourite beach

or try this one

Sitting on the sand

hear the breeze gently rustling the palms

and the ripples of the water

washing onto the sand

look around

take in the sights

sounds

smell of the salty air

stay for as long as you need

it's here again when you're ready


At the Movies

Watch your mind play

in the cinema

you're the only one there

the curtains roll back

your thoughts and feeling

pass by on the screen

watch it

don't get involved

you are the witness

thoughts, feeling and emotions

pass empty handed

because you didn't get involved

stay for as long as you need

it's here again when you’re read
