Wash Stress Away


This is a stress soother that can be done anywhere and only takes a few moments. It is a meditation technique that I have used to “calm” my nerves or “cool” off.

You must take deep breaths throughout the entire thought experiment.

Close your eyes. Imagine in your mind a field of tall grass.
You are walking through it, running your hands over it.
You come to a small lake. The water is perfect so you dive in.
As you float watching the clouds, you feel all stress leaving your body.
Float until you have reached a state of calm. When you feel good, open your eyes.
Take a few more deep breaths and enjoy life!

This meditation is useful to let go of stress that builds up from everyday stressors. It relaxes your mind and allows you to “let it go”. It has a calming effect and will help reduce the fight or flight reaction of stress.

  1. The meditation worked perfectly, but there's just one problem... I can't get out of it! Every time I close my eyes, I keep coming back to this place; it is a nightmare! I can't concentrate, and I haven't slept in a week because of this! I really need you to make a stress agitator to fix me! You better hurry, because I'm starting to hear voices... I think the shadows are coming to get me. Please, you're my only hope!
