Becoming Relaxed
Feeling calm, relaxed, and centered is a foundation for any guided meditation. In fact, relaxation is healing in and of itself.
Physically relaxing the body first, before using guided imagery, increases people’s ability to concentrate and allows their minds, hearts, and spirits to be more open to the meditation. A feeling of harmony often results.
For many people relaxation is a new experience. It is important that people practice the physical form of relaxation and spend ample time with it until feeling relaxed becomes natural and easy.
The exercises in this section focus on physical relaxation. Use them on their own or combine them with an imagery exercise from one of the other sections.
- Progressively Relaxing while Sitting in a Chair
Designed for people sitting in chairs, this progressive relaxation exercise focuses on tensing and relaxing the different muscle groups. (20 minutes) - Breathing for Relaxation and Health
Effective relaxation requires proper breathing. In this script, participants concentrate on their breathing by focusing on what their bodies are doing as they take in deep breaths, hold them, and slowly exhale. (10 minutes) - 1 to 10
In this brief script, participants lie on their backs and tense their muscles as they count from 1 to 10, then release the tension as they count back down to 1. (5 minutes) - The Magic Ball

An eclectic introduction to some of the most popular relaxation techniques, Total Relaxation includes breathing, progressive relaxation, visualization, and body scanning. Use a part or all of this script as a short relaxation exercise prior to a guided meditation in one of the other sections of the book. (10 minutes)
Nature and the Environment
Being connected to the natural world–the ocean, forest, sky, and mountains–is for most people both relaxing and healthy. The guided meditations in this section help people find their connection with the natural world and thereby learn about forgiveness and love.
Note: Before beginning any script, describe to the participants what images you will use. If they make anyone feel uncomfortable, select an alternate script.

The guided meditations in this section help people get in touch with their intuitive inner selves so that they may find answers to lifeís questions from within.

Healing
Integrating the mind, body, emotions, and spirit opens up vast inner resources of intuition, wisdom, and personal power.
So many of us live as if fragmented–thinking of one thing, saying something else, acting one way publicly, while feelings, moods, and emotions provide a constantly changing and inconsistent undertow.
The guided meditations in this section focus on using the mind to heal the body and emotions and to bring thoughts, words, actions, and feelings into harmony and alignment.
