Visualization for Self Shippers

Sit somewhere comfortably.

Close your eyes

Take five deep breaths– deep, slow breaths. 

When you inhale, let your breaths fill down to your stomach. 

Purse your lips and exhale slowly. Twice as long as you took to inhale.

As you move forward, continue to take long, slow breaths.

You are sitting on your F/O's lap.

It's not the back of your chair that you feel behind you. It's your F/O's chest supporting you.

How does their body feel against yours? Is it strong and firm? Slim and bony? Soft and plush?

Take a moment to enjoy the sensation of sitting with your back against your F/O, their body supporting yours.

Take another breath, and exhale it slowly.

Feel your F/O reach around your body to cradle you in their arms.

Feel the sensation of their arms enclosing you, holding you.

Feel the place on your body where your F/O gently rests their hands.

Consider your F/O's hands. What do they feel like against you? Are they big and powerful? Are they slim and delicate? Are they warm, or cool?

Let your F/O hold you for a long moment in their comforting presence.

Take another long breath and exhale slowly.

Let your F/O's hands move gently over your body. Feel the tingle of their fingers as they slide over you.

Feel your F/O's hand rest on your cheek and cup it gently.

Take another long breath and exhale it slowly.

Let your F/O lean over your shoulder, and kiss your neck, or your cheek or ear.

Feel the sensation of their lips against your flesh. How do they kiss you? Is it soft and fluttering? Is it firm and moist? Is it rough and hungry?

Let your F/O kiss you for a while as you rest your body against the support of their chest.

Linger awash in the comforting sensation of your F/O, breathing in and out.

Let your F/O squeeze you one more time, feeling the force of their body holding yours.

Then let them release you. Open your eyes, and stand up, feeling their support for you.

How To Use Guided Visualization To Get What You Want

How To Use Guided Visualization To Get What You Want

Guided Visualization Guided visualization is a technique that involves using your imagination to visualize specific outcomes or experiences in your mind. It is often used as a relaxation and stress-management technique, but it can also be used to achieve specific goals or to improve certain areas of your life. During a guided visualization, you will typically be guided through a series of…

Had a really nice Reiki session. Felt all glittery pink and bubbly. Made a little visual board to bring me back there when I want.

Hi All,

If you deal with stress, anxiety, or anything like that, please consider giving this a listen.

I make guided meditations for a living; after doing ASMR for years I notice that ASMR may be catchier, trendier and more approachably noncommittal, but I really think actual guided meditation can help more (well, I more than just think that, it's scientifically supported) but a lot of people just don't think they connect with it, largely because spaces involving it don't tend to include them.

But as a nonbinary black Femme I want to offer these things from a lived experience and context that speaks to others like me---

so if you have a moment and an ounce of curiosity, please listen and if you like it, please subscribe to my channel and help my work grow.

Thanks.

The only reason I can even kind of talk about my Covid trauma now is because I did a few EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy sessions about it last year at rehab.

It was weird. But it worked??? I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like ….. now when I think about that trauma, my mind just…. Gently redirects me elsewhere

It’s not like im repressing the feelings. I know how repressing feels. I know what it means to lock it all in a vault and ignore it

But this is more like ….. im floating down a stream and when i try to go one way (towards the pain and sorrow), the water gently carries me down a different path

It involved me having to confront and dissect the trauma at great length, during the actual sessions, but now…..I’ve found some peace with it. The emotional charge isn’t there like it used to be. I’m so calm about it

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. It was the first time I ever did it. It worked. It’s weird. But it’s good

4 Types of Meditation for people who struggle to meditate -

Struggling to meditate? Meditation isn't a one-size-fits-all practice; it's a diverse realm with various techniques tailored to different preferences and goals. Whether you seek inner peace, stress relief, mental clarity, or just quiet, there's a meditation style suited for you. Let's look at four distinct types today: Mantra, Body Scan, Focused Attention, and Visualization. 1. Mantra Meditation: Mantra meditation involves repeating a word, phrase, or sound silently to focus the mind and enter a state of deep awareness. The chosen mantra can be traditional, like "Om," or personally meaningful. By chanting the mantra, you anchor your attention and cultivate mindfulness, gradually quieting mental chatter and promoting tranquility. 2. Body Scan Meditation: Body scan meditation directs attention inward, exploring sensations throughout the body. Practitioners start at one end (often the toes or crown of the head) and methodically move attention through each body part. This practice heightens body awareness, releases tension, and fosters a profound connection between mind and body. It's a great technique for relaxation and stress reduction. 3. Focused Attention Meditation: Focused attention meditation centers on concentrating awareness on a single point of focus, such as the breath, a flickering candle flame, or a specific sensation. Whenever the mind wanders—which it will —the practitioner gently redirects attention back to the focal point. This practice strengthens concentration, enhances mindfulness, and cultivates a calm, centered state of being. 4. Visualization Meditation: Visualization meditation is a technique that uses the power of imagination to create mental images that can promote relaxation, healing, and personal growth. During this practice, individuals create vivid images of peaceful beaches, lush forests, or radiant light, and immerse themselves in the sensory details and emotions of these scenarios. This technique is a great way to achieve mental and emotional balance and can be a valuable tool for anyone seeking to improve their overall well-being. Visualization meditations can be used to manifest, reduce anxiety, and inspire creativity. Incorporating these meditation techniques into your daily routine can foster profound shifts in mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Experiment with different styles to discover what resonates best with you. Remember, there's no right or wrong way to meditate.

April 2023 I created a new guided meditation: »The Elements and the Witch Fire« There are different ways to create the witch fire, an energy which you can use for witchcraft spells or rituals. In this guided meditation, we are going to use the energies of the elements. You can stand, sit or lay down. There is no music included in this recording.

Visualizing a Guided Daydream ✨✨✨

[foucauldiantheory]

in my heart i am forklift certified.

[babyspacebatclone]

Ok, here’s what I do.

I’m going to put the description of my visualization meditation under a cut, because I’m fully aware it may disturb people with fairly reasonable triggers.

I don’t know if it will work for anyone who’s not me.

But I’ve been doing this for over two decades to relax my own body, even before my own heading-towards chronic arthritis-induced pain.

There’s a tl;dr at the end, if anyone needs it but still cares.

So, I’m going to give two versions of this, because again I’m sure the one I actually use would squick a lot of people out.

First, get comfortable - whatever that means for you.

For me, that’s raising the head of my adjustable bed, putting a body pillow under my thighs to keep my legs at a good bend, have pillows on either side of my torso to rest my arms, and my weighted blanket arranged so it doesn’t stress my feet/ankles.

Completely by accident, I am recreating a zero gravity chair. Anyway…

Get comfy. If it helps, get some relaxing music or nature sounds.

Now, imagine you’re a robot.

I’m serious, because the visualization is going to be disassembling yourself piece by piece, servicing each, then putting them away in a box.

I start with my feet.

I take off my toes, one by one. Carefully undoing the wiring and screws holding on the metal, gently testing the joints of each toe.

Oil what’s needed, maybe give a light polish, check that there’s nothing gritty clogging anything.

After each toe has been serviced, it goes into a foam box with holes perfectly sized for each.

Now, I service each foot. Then each ankle.

Long muscles tend to go faster, with more care on imagining opening up and servicing each mechanical joint, because as said above arthritis.

The spine is gently popping out each vertebrae, tailbone up, just free and unconstrained from the neighbors.

And, importantly, after each part is services it goes in its prepared box.

It’s not connected to me anymore.

Each mechanical part is all cared for and resting, away from me, turned off.

For me, this visualization leaves each serviced body part - deliciously numb. A faint, heavy white noise static, completely removed as I continue the body scan through my body.

Except, well, when I’m doing it I don’t bother with the entire “robot” distancing.

I’m imagining using fine metal skewers to literally stretch out the muscles laterally, teasing at the nerves until they go limp, popping the bones cleanly and safely apart.

It’s as bloodless and fantastical as the robot version, completely divorced from any biological reality.

And after servicing each loosened body part still goes into a box, away from the still functioning nervous system, away from the core of me.

If it’s my head or brain that needs loosening up, well, more skewers, literally opening up the unrealistic butter slime brain, letting air circulate.

If that fails, well, it’s time to start chopping up into fine cubes. Puree them down, make dough, knead it up like a pizza crust until everything feels homogeneous and diffused.

I’d do it to parts of my body, too, except none of them ever need the escalation like my brain.

Except the neck, that gets the rack treatment sometimes…

Anyway.

No clue if this could be helpful for anyone else.

But TL;DR:

Starting from your toes, pop off each body part in whatever fantasy works for you - robot, ball jointed doll, anatomically correct rag doll - and visualize “servicing” each part. Oil the joints, tighten the elastic, remove and replace the stuffing.

Once each part has been renewed, put it in a box to rest while you continue through the body scan.

Just focus on each body part in turn, imagining analogues to the complaint of each specific part, being completely mindful and present at however small or large a part of your body as you need to.

Then, move on. Each part has been dealt with, and requires no more focus.

Body awareness is absolute shit for chronic illness. “Become aware of your body. Pay attention to how your body feels” great now I’m noticing the bone aching soreness that is permeating my entire body, thanks for that. My mind was automatically filtering that out for my but I sure am aware of it now!

I need like the opposite. I need “leave your body entirely and forget it exists” meditation.

Elf Transformation Hypnosis

In this fantasy file, your mind is going to become opened up as it goes blank and ready for a transformation into a lightweight, pointy-eared elf, just like the ones you have read about in stories like The Lord of The Rings, Magic: The Gathering, and Dungeons and Dragons.

The effects will last for the duration of the recording and until you go to sleep.

After that, your dreams will refresh and renew you, bringing you back to the normal you.

A Light in the Heart: A Bedtime Story

Once upon a time, in a quiet village surrounded by hills, there lived a wise father named Joseph. Every evening, his daughter Sarah would sit beside him under the old olive tree as the stars began to twinkle in the sky. It was their special time together, a moment to talk about the wonders of God and the love of the Holy Spirit. One evening, as Sarah climbed into his lap, she whispered, “Papa,…
