The Balloon of Peace

Hi it's me again with another meditation to help you to let go of the pain and stress in your life.

Instructions:

A. Get into a comfortable position and allow your eyes to close. Try to recall a particularly painful, stressful, or unhappy situation in your life.

B. Now take take a few deep cleansing breaths and allow your body to relax as much as possible.

C. Now picture yourslf blowing up a large balloon. What color is is?

D. Every time you exhale the balloon gets fuller and larger It's filling up with any negitive emotions, pain or tension.

E. When the balloon is large enough, see yourself tying it at the neck.

F. Now release it so that it can float upwards. With each exhalation, picture it going up into the sky until you can't see it anymore. In additon, with each inhalation, breathe in calm and peace until your body feels totally relaxed.

G. Now when you feel ready, take one more deep cleansing breath, count slowly to 5, stretch yourself out a bit, and slowly open your eyes. Take the feelings of relaxation with you as you go on with the rest of your day or evening.

I hope that you've enjoyed this meditation as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to you. I'll be back in a couple of days with another meditation. Until then, ~Nameste~,
