Meditation Induction

FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

 

FOCAL POINT ON THE WALL

 

I WANT YOU TO SIT COMFORTABLY IN YOUR CHAIR.  ANYTHING THAT IS RESTRICTING AT THIS TIME PLEASE LOOSEN.  PUT YOUR FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR, AND PLACE YOUR HANDS COMFORTABLY ON YOUR LAP.

 

NOW PLACE YOU ATTENTION ON THE CIRCLE, ON THE WALL IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BLINKING MORE OFTEN AS YOUR EYES GET HEAVIER THAT IS NORMAL. NOW FOCUS ON THE SOUND OF MY VOICE AND MY VOICE ONLY. YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THREE DEEP BREATHS AS YOU EXHALE YOU WILL BECOME MORE RELAXED AND CALM. TAKE A DEEP BREATH IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE HOLD; BLOW  OUT ALL YOUR STRESS, ALL YOUR ANGER. GOOD YOU ARE RELAXING. AGAIN, DEEP BREATH, HOLD, BLOW OUT ALL YOUR FEARS, NEGATIVITY, THOUGHTS AND WORRIES. GOOD YOU ARE NOW RELAXED AND AT PEACE.  AGAIN DEEP BREATH, HOLD, RELEASE, YOU RELAXED,RELAXED, RELAXED.

 

YOU ARE NOW  FLOATING IN A TUNNEL HEADING TOWARD A WHITE DIAMOND SHAPE  OF LIGHT. I WANT YOU TO GO TO THE DIAMOND SHAPE LIGHT. AS YOU STEP INTO THE LIGHT YOU FIND YOURSELF ON A BEAUTIFUL BEACH. YOU LOOK AROUND AT THE CLEAR BLUE, GREEN WATER, YOU FEEL THE SUN ON YOUR FACE, AND THE GENTLE WARM BREEZE THROUGH YOUR HAIR.  YOU HEAR THE WAVES SPLASHING ON THE SHORE.  FEEL THE WARM WHITE SAND BETWEEN YOUR TOES AS YOU WALK ALONG. THIS IS YOUR SAFE SPOT, A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN COME TO ANY TIME TO RELAX AND BE AT PEACE.  JUST ENJOY THE QUIET AND BEAUTY THAT LIES BEFORE YOU.  NOW OFF IN THE DISTANCE YOU SEE A GREEN PATH.

 

YOU ARE GOING LEAVING YOUR SAFE SPOT,  BUT YOU CAN COME BACK TO THIS SAFE SPOT ANYTIME YOU WANT. IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. AS YOU ARE WALKING ALONG THIS GREEN PATH  YOU ENTER INTO A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN. YOU STOP AND ARE AMAZED AT THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND THE PEACE AND CLAM OF THE AREA. IT IS IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA  THAT YOU ARE HERE TO GIVE A SPEECH. IN THE DISTANCE YOU SEE THE PODIUM YOU CONTINUE WALKING TOWARD IT RELAXED AND AT PEACE.

 

PICTURE YOUR SELF STANDING AT A PODIUM GIVING A SPEECH ON YOUR FAVORITE TOPIC. A TOPIC YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT. YOUR AUDIENCE IS ONE PERSON AND THAT PERSON IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. YOU TWO ARE TOTALLY ALONE. AS YOU GIVE YOUR SPEECH YOU ARE CALM AND RELEAXED. WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR SHORT SPEECH YOU ARE PROUD AND EXCITED THAT YOUR FRIEND UNDERSTOOD YOUR FEELINGS.    NOW PICTURE YOURSELF GIVING THAT SAME SPEECH TO TWO FRIENDS STANDING IN THE AUDIENCE. THERE IS NO ONE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL GARDEN  BUT YOU THREE.  YOUR FRIENDS ARE STANDING WAY BACK SO YOU HAVE TO REALLY SPEAK UP.  AGAIN YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB.  YOU ARE SO CALM AND RELAXED THAT IT DRAWS MORE PEOPLE IN TO HEAR YOU. NOW THERE ARE 10 PEOPLE ENTERING THIS GARDEN TO HEAR YOU. YOUR ARE RELAXED AND YOU HAVE THEIR FULL ATTENTION. YOUR PEACE AND CALM BRINGS IN 10 MORE PEOPLE, THEN 20, NOW 30. THE MORE PEOPLE WHO COME TO HEAR YOU CALMER YOU BECOME., YOU SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR YOU ARE SO CALM AND AT PEACE YOU CANNOT WAIT TO DO THIS AGAIN.

 

FPOM NOW ON WHEN YOU TALK TO ANYONE FROM ONE PERSON TO 100 PEOPLE YOU ARE CALM AND RELAXED, YOU ARE IN CONTROL AND FOCUSED INWARD ON WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. YOU ARE BREATHING FULLY AND SLOWLY THE AUDIENCE IS IN LOVE WITH YOUR WORDS. YOU ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB, FEEL YOUR EXCITEMENT AND THE SATISFACTION OF A JOB WELL DONE. YOU ARE SO GOOD A GIVING SPEECHES YOU ARE ASKED TO DO MORE AND MORE OF THEM. YOU ARE SO GOOD…..

 

 

NOW WHEN I COUNT DOWN FROM FIVE, YOU ARE GOING TO COME BACK TO THIS ROOM. FIVE THE AUDIENCE IS LEAVING ONE BY ONE. FOUR YOU ARE SO CALM AND PROUD FOR A JOB WELL DONE. THREE YOU ARE BACK IN YOUR CHAIR, YOU FEEL YOURSELF BACK IN YOUR BODY, TWO STRETCH AND WIGGLE YOUR FINGERS AND TOES. ONE OPEN YOUR EYES. WELCOME BACK HOW DO YOU FEEL?
