DRIFT AWAY

I have heard people in stressful situations jokingly tell one another to 'go to your happy place.' They are referring to the practice of imagining a very pleasant time, place or experience in order to relieve stress. As human beings we have the amazing gift of imagination. We can drop inside ourselves and either relive or create a wonderful or desired experience. It is actually a very healthy thing to do. Our subconscious mind is the part of our mind that controls and regulates our breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension and more. A powerful and important thing to remember is that our subconscious can not tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined. It thus responds to imagined experiences as if they are actually occurring. When we think or worry about what we don't want to have happen, our subconscious is going to cause us to experience both physically and emotionally the actual effects. Take a few minutes every day to be alone, close your eyes and imagine or relive a pleasant and relaxing experience. Take a few minutes and drift away. It will affect you the same as if it actually occurred. Drift away for a few minutes every day. I have had some of my most spiritual experiences during these times. If you will do this every day, faithfully, for even one week, you will feel the benefits. You'll be sold and make it part of your life. Please, do something amazing for yourself. Drift away.
