Meditation to Relax

This meditation is to allow the mind to relax
To relax the mind we need to let go of stress that is causing friction within

As we begin to relax the mind try to visualize that you are sitting on the banks of a stream
And I am a peaceful observer
And the stream is flowing with the thoughts in my mind
Some positive some negative
Some necessary some unnecessary
But I relax
And just watch the thoughts flow byLike a stream
I watch these thoughts
And I realize that I am separate from them
And I am relaxed knowing that I just let them flow by
And do not get attached to the thoughts

Sitting on the bank of the river
Like an observer I can experience a deep relaxation
For I do not need to worry about each and every thought in my mind
I let the negative thoughts pass and enjoy the positive ones

And I am the observer of my mind
And as I am the observer I choose to relax with positive feelings
And the more these relaxed feelings in my heart I notice the gradual change of thoughts
The change from the polluted negative stream to a clear flowing stream of positive thoughts
Thoughts such as that I am relaxed and peaceful
No matter what thoughts are in my mind
Or in the mind of the others

For I am a relaxed peaceful observer
Calm concentrated detached

Be a light to others and you wont stumble on your own path. Practice meditation for one minute every hour will enhance the quality of your life and those around you.
