1. Guided imagery meditation scripts
Many people have discovered that the mind-body connection is very important to their
health and well being. By using the mind to control the body, many unpleasant life
situations can be improved, such as stress, pain, overeating, anger, and addiction. If you
are interested in using your mind to help your body, guided imagery scripts can be
incredibly beneficial.
While you can do a lot to improve your life on your own, you can also benefit from the
advice and wisdom of professionals. Using scripts for your meditation and relaxation
sessions is one way to do this. Not only will the scripts provide the best wording for your
affirmations, they will also lead you in a pre-meditation regimen of breathing exercises
that prepares you to absorb the content of the scripts to the fullest.
Here are a couple of typical topic areas for the scripts:
Public Speaking. Though some people are naturally charismatic, the rest of us need help
with public speaking! It really is a skill that is best developed over time. However, if you
find that you are suddenly thrust into a position where you must speak in public, a script
can be very helpful. Using the script, you will be directed to imagine yourself giving the
perfect speech. Then you will backtrack and imagine all the steps leading up to that
perfect speech: writing the speech, practicing the speech, dressing for the event, traveling,
there, getting up on stage, and, finally, delivering the speech. The script will lead you to
focus on imagining yourself expressing certain qualities you might not have thought of
on your own, including poise, stamina, confidence, and even assertiveness. Even if
you've never given a speech before, if you can imagine it effectively, you can suddenly
feel very experience in this area. Imagined experience and real life experience aren't all
that different, in terms of how your brain recalls them.
Overcoming Addiction. Guided imagery can be very helpful in overcoming the desire to
indulge in self-destructive or addictive behavior, including addictions to smoking,
narcotics, sex, self-harm, and overeating. In all cases, the script targets the same thoughts.
Negative thoughts about your need for a certain substance or behavior are replaced by
positive thoughts about your strength and ability to live your life in full control of your
thoughts and actions. Following the script, you will be able to place yourself into a calm,
relaxed state where you have the mental clarity and freedom to imagine the life you want
to live, free from addiction. Once you have imagined how it feels to have this ideal life,
to be confident, joyous, healthy, and in control, you will be able to begin to experience
these qualities in your present life. You will realize that you can feel good without
indulging in your negative behaviors. There are many thoughts and behaviors that can be
real addictions, though they many not seem that way at first. Any compulsion or desire
that interferes with your health and productivity could be seen as an addictive behavior.
Don't limit the applications of the script!
