Speaker 1: Guided meditation for writers. Now find a comfortable position to
Speaker 1: begin the meditation. Now sit back or lay down, relax
Speaker 1: and make yourself as comfortable as possible. Allow yourself to
Speaker 1: enjoy this gift of relaxation. All you need to do
Speaker 1: right now is concentrate on the sound of my voice,
Speaker 1: put all worries aside, and simply relax. There is nothing
Speaker 1: you need to do right now except be in this space,
Speaker 1: right here, right now. From time to time, you may
Speaker 1: hear noises other than my voice. If this happens, it
Speaker 1: will only help you go deeper and deeper into relaxation.
Speaker 1: I would like for you now to turn your attention
Speaker 1: to your breath. Please breathe in through your nose to
Speaker 1: the count of four and pause one two, three four,
Speaker 1: and then breathe out slowly through your nose to the
Speaker 1: count of eight one two, three, four, five, six seven eight. Wonderful.
Speaker 1: Let us do it again. Breathe in to the count
Speaker 1: of four through your nose one two, three four, and
Speaker 1: out again to the count of eight one two, three, four, five,
Speaker 1: six seven eight.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: One more time, and I would like you to count
Speaker 1: from one to four.
Speaker 2: Breathe in.
Speaker 1: Good and out to the count of eight, silently counting
Speaker 1: to yourself.
Speaker 2: As you exhale.
Speaker 1: Excellent, you are already feeling calmer and ready to go
Speaker 1: into an even deeper state of relaxation. Now continue inhaling
Speaker 1: and exhaling while positive, uplifting energy flows through every breath
Speaker 1: that you take and replenishes your body. Inhale and feel
Speaker 1: your feet, calves, and thighs relax slowly. Exhale again, inhale
Speaker 1: deeply and feel your hips, buttocks, belly and lower back
Speaker 1: sink in and relax deeply. Then exhale and feel the
Speaker 1: release of any tension in your lower body. Feel the
Speaker 1: wonderful calm wash over you. Take in a long, deep
Speaker 1: breath and feel your chest, back, shoulders, arms, and hands
Speaker 1: become deeply relaxed by your sides. Then exhale now as
Speaker 1: you breathe in again, feel your neck, jaw, face, eyes,
Speaker 1: head and crown become completely relaxed, and feel the tension
Speaker 1: releasing from your upper body completely. Breathe out a blissful
Speaker 1: sigh of relief. Now, with your mind's eye, envision a
Speaker 1: beautiful library. It is empty and reserve just for you
Speaker 1: to spend some time researching in writing your next masterpiece.
Speaker 1: The soaring ceilings in vast space give your spirit freedom
Speaker 1: to roam and explore.
Speaker 2: You walk through.
Speaker 1: The aisles and brows through the categories of books. You
Speaker 1: find your favorite genre, and then, to your surprise, you
Speaker 1: see a shelf that captures your attention. You notice that
Speaker 1: your name is printed on one of the books. You
Speaker 1: open the book and discover it is a title that
Speaker 1: you published in the future. The date inside of the
Speaker 1: book is clearly a year that has yet to be
Speaker 1: Then you notice the shelf is full of your publications.
Speaker 1: You feel an otherworldly sense of confidence in yourself, and
Speaker 1: this inspires you with a strong urge to write. With
Speaker 1: a smile and a spring in your step, you explore
Speaker 1: the rest of this beautiful, enchanting library. You realize that
Speaker 1: you are here because of your ability to write.
Speaker 2: You are a great writer.
Speaker 1: Finally, you find the perfect spot to sit and write,
Speaker 1: in a grand hall of tables and chairs. You choose
Speaker 1: your seat and pull the chain on a table lamp.
Speaker 1: The light turns on in a warm and toasty glow
Speaker 1: over a blank notebook and pen that are ready for
Speaker 1: you to write with. In this perfect space, You begin
Speaker 1: writing meanwhile within yourself, as the meditating watcher, Your mind
Speaker 1: now plans what it wants to write about. There are
Speaker 1: several ideas flowing through you. However, the boldest idea captures
Speaker 1: your attention first. Now clear your mind and start to
Speaker 1: meditate upon that idea, only giving your full attention to
Speaker 1: it without any distractions. Focus your mind completely on this
Speaker 1: brilliant idea. Let this idea expand itself and take on
Speaker 1: a life.
Speaker 2: Of its own.
Speaker 1: Spend a few moments experiencing your multifaceted idea. Pay attention
Speaker 1: to the thoughts, feelings, voices, and visions it reveals and produces.
Speaker 1: Once you have a keen sense of the idea you

Speaker 1: the library. Now bring your awareness back to your current space.
Speaker 1: Take a few deep breaths while holding on to your
Speaker 1: great idea, because you are ready to get up and
Speaker 1: start writing. You know that your perfectly planned idea will
