A simple mind control exercise
A simple mind control exercise
Does not meditation by any other name smell as sweet?
Dear Friends,
Over the years, I've learned that words carry immense power. The labels we use can dramatically impact our perceptions and willingness to try new things.
Take "yoga" for instance. When it first arrived in America, many dismissed it as something for half-naked gurus sitting on Himalayan mountaintops. But what if we simply called it "stretching"? Suddenly, it becomes far more approachable.
Similarly, "meditation" conjures images of odd-looking people sitting with closed eyes. But what if we reframe it as "mind clearing," "mind focusing," or my personal favorite - "mind control"?
Today, I'd like to offer you a simple mind control exercise in 12 steps.
Here's how to do it:
Sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes. (Note: Don't do this while driving!)
Take slow, easy breaths from your abdomen.
Visualize golden light entering your head, filling it completely.
Let the golden light flow down into your neck.
Extend the light down your arms, creating an inverted Y shape.
Bring the light down into your chest, then stomach and pelvic area.
Send the light down your left leg to your foot, then repeat with the right leg.
Picture your entire being filled with vibrating golden light.
Imagine this as the "light of love" filling your entire body.
Feel the energy vibrating, clearing your channels, and healing you.
Let a smile form on your face.
Slowly open your eyes, looking around while maintaining awareness of the golden light in your body.
This exercise is yours to keep and use whenever you need it (just not while operating a vehicle). It's a powerful tool for controlling your mind and your mood, rather than letting your mind control you.
Remember, good health is worth fighting for, and it's essential for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Golden light,
Dr. Richard Louis Miller
