When meditating, visualization is an effective way to focus on the present moment. Visualizing positive images and affirmations can help to increase feelings of calm and relaxation. Examples of things to visualize during meditation include: • A peaceful landscape or a calming beach scene • A ball of light emitting loving and peaceful energy • A happy and safe place, such as a favorite childhood home • A flower blooming, expanding and shining with colors • An image of yourself surrounded by loving people or animals • Yourself in a state of bliss and contentment • An image of a happy future full of success and abundance • A mountain peak surrounded by a calm and clear sky • A silver lining of clouds shimmering in the sun • A passionate fire burning and radiating warmth
