Change Habits, Addictions, and Behaviors [Free Guided Imagery Meditation]

Play

Just as a dog or monkey can be trained to behave in certain ways, your mind and body (in essence, the “animal” part of you) have been trained to behave. And just as a computer can be reprogrammed, you can reprogram your mind and body to overcome urges, impulses, and addictions. Use this meditation to support the changing of such maladaptive patterns as overeating, overspending, over drinking, smoking, and gambling – as well as more subtle ones as procrastination, impulsiveness, or failing to establish positive patterns of exercising or relating to others.

Finally, we will touch on the worldwide deficit of compassion our planet is now experiencing and some thoughts about what we might do about it.
