Hi, I am starting my day off with ten minutes of a visualization meditation. Here is what I will be visualizing:
3 minutes devoted to my strength, power and effectiveness as an intenSati teacher today as I sub for Erika and then teach a portion of my series to the Warrior Challengers. I have all the energy I need. The students have an amazing, positive, uplifting experience.
That was cool. I noticed the visualization changed when in my mind I turned around and faced the students. I saw them all lighting up, smiling, working their asses off, celebrating. It definitely felt great and was more effective than focusing on what my teaching looked like. I used a 3 minute Sati song so that worked to really get the feeling of being in the class.
3 minutes devoted to my ability to let go of obsessive thinking about myself that is negative. I've been worrying a lot lately so I want to visualize letting the thoughts just drift up into the sky and dissipate.
Okay, that was great! I used Ice Dance from Edward Scissorhands. The thoughts that came to mind were actually labels: Fat, Ugly, Broke/Broken, Alone. Can you believe that?! Ahhh. That's what bubbled to the surface, so I let them each go up to the sky and into the clouds. Then, towards the end I let the clouds part and the sun shone through. This one actually brought tears to my eyes -- tears of relief to let those mean thoughts float away.
3 minutes devoted to my financial health and abundance. I see myself debt free and enjoying freedom.
That one was fun! Don't laugh at this expression of creativity but I did pick a cardio remix of Eddie MONEY's "Take Me Home Tonight" for this one. I saw myself cashing checks I earned for writing, acting, singing and teaching intenSati. Then, I saw myself in this money chamber with tons of $100 dollar bills floating around like on the game show that I can't remember. After that, I visualized my bank account growing to 6 figures and making an internal transfer to pay off my checking plus line and then my AMEX bill. I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Hey, whatever works -- this is my visualization. :)
1 minute devoted to the mantra "The truth sets me free."
I did two minutes. I guess the truth is worth more than a minute. I actually went up into my head with this one, wondering how to define truth. My energy went a little bit down with this and I'm not sure why.
Off to get ready for class now...

Certain truths are very hard to face, especially since those are often the things that we keep closest too us, with a hard protective coating. Taking a hard look in that bubble can be exhausting, but that's only because we're afraid to see what we already know. The best way: like a bandaid. Rip it open, examine it, let it float up into the clouds the way you did with your negative thoughts.
