00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Guided meditation for writers. This session is without background music.

2
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Now find a comfortable position to begin the meditation. Now

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>sit back or lay down, relax and make yourself as

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>comfortable as possible. Allow yourself to enjoy this gift of relaxation.

5
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>All you need to do right now is concentrate on

6
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the sound of my voice. Put all worries aside, and

7
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>simply relax. There is nothing you need to do right

8
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>now except be in this space, right here, right now.

9
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>From time to time, you may hear noises other than

10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 1>my voice. If this happens, it will only help you

11
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>go deeper and deeper into relaxation. I would like for

<v Speaker 1>with your mind's eye, envision a beautiful library. It is

38
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>empty and reserved just for you to spend some time

39
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:11.920

<v Speaker 1>spot to sit and write, in a grand hall of

56
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 1>tables and chairs. You choose your seat and pull the

57
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 1>chain on a table lamp. The light turns on in

58
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a warm and toasty glow over a blank notebook and

<v Speaker 1>to write about. There are several ideas flowing through you. However,

63
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the boldest idea captures your attention first. Now clear your

<v Speaker 1>a few moments experiencing your multifaceted idea. Pay attention to

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>great idea, because you are ready to get up and

75
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 1>start writing. You know that your perfectly planned idea will

76
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:28.320
