00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Guided meditation for writers. Now find a comfortable position to

2
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>begin the meditation. Now sit back or lay down, relax

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>and make yourself as comfortable as possible. Allow yourself to

4
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>enjoy this gift of relaxation. All you need to do

5
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>right now is concentrate on the sound of my voice,

6
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>put all worries aside, and simply relax. There is nothing

7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you need to do right now except be in this space,

8
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>right here, right now. From time to time, you may

9
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>hear noises other than my voice. If this happens, it

10
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>will only help you go deeper and deeper into relaxation.

11
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I would like for you now to turn your attention

12
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to your breath. Please breathe in through your nose to

13
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:26.359

15
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>count of eight one two, three, four, five, six seven eight. Wonderful.

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Let us do it again. Breathe in to the count

17
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:07.719

21
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>One more time, and I would like you to count

22
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>from one to four.

23
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Breathe in.

24
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Good and out to the count of eight, silently counting

25
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to yourself.

26
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>As you exhale.

27
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Excellent, you are already feeling calmer and ready to go

28
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 1>into an even deeper state of relaxation. Now continue inhaling

29
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and exhaling while positive, uplifting energy flows through every breath

30
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that you take and replenishes your body. Inhale and feel

31
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>your feet, calves, and thighs relax slowly. Exhale again, inhale

32
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>deeply and feel your hips, buttocks, belly and lower back

33
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>sink in and relax deeply. Then exhale and feel the

34
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 1>release of any tension in your lower body. Feel the

35
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>wonderful calm wash over you. Take in a long, deep

36
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>breath and feel your chest, back, shoulders, arms, and hands

37
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 1>become deeply relaxed by your sides. Then exhale now as

38
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>you breathe in again, feel your neck, jaw, face, eyes,

39
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>head and crown become completely relaxed, and feel the tension

40
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>releasing from your upper body completely. Breathe out a blissful

41
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>sigh of relief. Now, with your mind's eye, envision a

42
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>beautiful library. It is empty and reserve just for you

43
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to spend some time researching in writing your next masterpiece.

44
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>The soaring ceilings in vast space give your spirit freedom

45
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to roam and explore.

46
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>You walk through.

47
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>The aisles and brows through the categories of books. You

48
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:43.720

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 1>open the book and discover it is a title that

52
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you published in the future. The date inside of the

53
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 1>book is clearly a year that has yet to be

54
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Then you notice the shelf is full of your publications.

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>your seat and pull the chain on a table lamp.

<v Speaker 1>The light turns on in a warm and toasty glow

65
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.959

69
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>several ideas flowing through you. However, the boldest idea captures

70
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>your attention first. Now clear your mind and start to

71
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.440
