Hello, and welcome to the lecture on the five minute meditation called the countdown meditation. So the countdown meditation is really great if you want to go into a very deep and profound state of relaxation, almost like a trance state. So what happens when you go into a deeply relaxed state like that is your subconscious mind opens up. And when your subconscious mind opens up like that, you can do all sorts of wonderful things like release suppressed emotion from the past. And so you can forgive people or let go of things that no longer serve your purpose. You can also step into greater insights and awareness.

So maybe you'll have creative flashes that will come to you to help you problem solve on certain things. And also other creative ideas may come in. So if you're in the arts or something like that, it can be a wonderful tool for creativity. So what I'll be doing in this meditation is that I'll guide you into a deeply relaxed state by helping you breathe and then I'm going to ask you to Imagine, like you're drifting down to some beautiful place. And as you're drifting down to this beautiful place, I'll be counting backwards from seven using the words down and deeper. So it's gonna take you into a very deeply relaxed state.

And when you're transitioning into that deeply relaxed state, you may feel what I call physical distortions. So you may feel like you're spinning or you're floating on a cloud or your body's disappearing or something like that. So if any of that happens during the meditation, take it as a very good sign, and just kind of go with it. So with that said, let's go ahead and go to the meditation. I'll see you there.
