Guided imagery meditation scripts

Many people have discovered that the mind-body connection is very important to their health and well being. By using the mind to control the body, many unpleasant life situations can be improved, such as stress, pain, overeating, anger, and addiction. If you are interested in using your mind to help your body, guided imagery scripts can be incredibly beneficial.

While you can do a lot to improve your life on your own, you can also benefit from the advice and wisdom of professionals. Using scripts for your meditation and relaxation sessions is one way to do this. Not only will the scripts provide the best wording for your affirmations, they will also lead you in a pre-meditation regimen of breathing exercises that prepares you to absorb the content of the scripts to the fullest.

Here are a couple of typical topic areas for the scripts:

Public Speaking. Though some people are naturally charismatic, the rest of us need help with public speaking! It really is a skill that is best developed over time. However, if you find that you are suddenly thrust into a position where you must speak in public, a script can be very helpful. Using the script, you will be directed to imagine yourself giving the perfect speech. Then you will backtrack and imagine all the steps leading up to that perfect speech: writing the speech, practicing the speech, dressing for the event, traveling, there, getting up on stage, and, finally, delivering the speech. The script will lead you to focus on imagining yourself expressing certain qualities you might not have thought of on your own, including poise, stamina, confidence, and even assertiveness. Even if you've never given a speech before, if you can imagine it effectively, you can suddenly feel very experience in this area. Imagined experience and real life experience aren't all that different, in terms of how your brain recalls them.

Overcoming Addiction. Guided imagery can be very helpful in overcoming the desire to indulge in self-destructive or addictive behavior, including addictions to smoking, narcotics, sex, self-harm, and overeating. In all cases, the script targets the same thoughts. Negative thoughts about your need for a certain substance or behavior are replaced by positive thoughts about your strength and ability to live your life in full control of your thoughts and actions. Following the script, you will be able to place yourself into a calm, relaxed state where you have the mental clarity and freedom to imagine the life you want to live, free from addiction. Once you have imagined how it feels to have this ideal life, to be confident, joyous, healthy, and in control, you will be able to begin to experience these qualities in your present life. You will realize that you can feel good without indulging in your negative behaviors. There are many thoughts and behaviors that can be real addictions, though they many not seem that way at first. Any compulsion or desire that interferes with your health and productivity could be seen as an addictive behavior. Don't limit the applications of the script!
