You are carrying a whole collection of good memories around with you, and you almost never open it. This 12-minute guided meditation walks you back inside one specific happy moment, in enough sensory detail that your body starts to feel a little of what it felt then. You finish with a lift you generated entirely from the inside, and the knowledge that you can do it again any time you need one.
Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so.
What you'll explore:
- Why a vividly recalled moment produces some of the same feeling in the body as the moment itself did.
- How to choose one particular memory rather than a general good stretch, and why the specific one works better.
- The rebuilding of a scene through sight, sound, faces and what you were doing, until the feeling comes back on its own.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Pick a familiar, low-traffic route so your imagination can do the work without your navigation competing for attention.
- Let yourself smile if one shows up, and keep walking rather than slowing down when the feeling arrives.
