Beach Escape: Guided Imagery
Allow yourself to be transported to the beach with this brief and restorative guided imagery session.
Guided Imagery is an approach that uses the “mind’s eye” to support healing. In Guided Imagery, you will be led to imagine all of the details of a particularly relaxing setting. You will be encouraged to use all of your senses to mentally transport yourself to this place. When you imagine yourself feeling calm, relaxed, and happy you cannot feel stressed at the same time.
Be Where You Are: Mindfulness Meditation
When you are truly focused on the here and now, you can’t also be focused on unpleasant thoughts. The “Be Where You Are” guides you through noticing the sensations in your body. Your body is always with you, yet you rarely pay much attention to it. By taking some time to focus on just the sensations in your body, you may also achieve a moment of peace from distressing thoughts.
Spring Grounding
Grounding is a technique that can help you come back to the present moment, to focus your attention on what is happening right now. The point of grounding is to get out of the whirlwind in your head and into the reality of the present moment. By doing this, all of the swirling thoughts start to settle. Once the thoughts settle, the emotions and physical sensations follow, allowing your body to calm. Our nervous systems get a break and a chance to reset.
