Unit 8 - Visualization & Meditation

For me,
the practice sessions for visualization and meditation were the best.  I have already implemented meditation and it has done wonders for me.  Because I have breathing deeply when I am meditating, I have found that when I am in a stressful situation, I have been stopping myself and mind and breathing to calm myself.  My second favorite is visualization.  I remember when I was a young girl, my mother had a phobia about leaving the house.  So, we contacted a doctor who came to the house to help her try to leave the house.  He used visualization and hypnosis.  I can remember him telling her to visualize her walking down a red carpeted staircase and walking towards an airplane.  The whole idea was to have her visualize herself going out and doing something she wanted to do.  She always wanted to go to Spain to see her sister, but unfortunately she didn’t.  Anyway, I have been using visualization to help me too.  I think about sitting at my favorite beach in Cape May, NJ, and listening to the ocean.  It calms me and it doesn’t cost me a thing.
