Mind Alchemy Day 11
Welcome to Day 11 of Mind Alchemy.
Today we are following up on yesterday’s relaxation theme, as I think it is that important. However rather than just give you a written guide on how to relax, I’d like to take you on a journey, whilst at the same time you are re-affirming your outcomes and sending them out into the world. This is by way of a guided visualization.
Guided visualization
A guided visualization, for anyone who has never tried it, is someone guiding you through a scene in your mind to facilitate change in your thoughts.
This guided visualization is one that I have used in the past with readers of CYT, and it’s one which is particularly powerful in eliciting strong emotions.
Don’t get too caught up with the language in this visualization. Sending out an intention to the universe is another way of saying, sending a thought of your outcome to your subconscious mind. When you do this you are instilling a feeling of certainty about something you want in your life. It’s a way to keep you focussed on what you want so you can take more action towards making it happen.

This is something you can use everyday, or find other relaxation music, or guided visualizations to listen to. Make it a part of your daily ritual as part of your relaxation daily routine, which we discussed yesterday.
The music in this is taken from the amazing album ‘Apollo’ from the genius Brian Eno. The two tracks used are called ‘Deep Blue day’ and ‘An Ending Ascent.’
As ever it would be great to discuss how you felt after listening to this. So share your thoughts in the comments below.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow we will be looking at letting go to get what you want in life. Until tomorrow my fellow Mind Alchemists……..
Action follows a thought…
This course is about taking action, and to become pro active in changing your life. Take time to do this exercise and really think about it throughout the day. You don’t need to wait until tomorrow to take steps to improve your ‘Wheel of Life’, but with the support and encouragement from all the members we can help each other and support each other, but ultimately ‘you have to bring something to the table!’
Your thoughts
As always it’s good to talk about your experiences and share it with the rest of the members of the course, so let us know how this exercise went for you and if you gained any insights or had any revelations about yourself or your life.

Thank YOU!
It is an amazin’ all together -I feel happy now!
That is very powerful Steven. It is also fairly similar to the one that I do. You have inspired me to record my own version. I’ve heard the music before and always wondered who created it. I’ve heard a friend talk about Brian Eno. Now I know. Just loved it!

Marty, I really do think Brian Eno is a genius, the emotions that are brought up when listening to his music is amazing. Some are hit and miss but the albums I love are ‘Apollo’ and ‘Music for Airports’
Hmmn chilled out and feeling Goooood. Think it’s time I went to the travel agent
Get booking Gordon
I did this and it only took 14 minutes but when I was done it was like 3 minutes.. and when I finished this exercise I went to bed and it was like someone switched off my body from half past 8 to 10:45 – however while I did this exercise it was good and I found myself lying there on the beach looking at the stars & moon. But I also noticed my heart pumped slower then usual and my breath was also slower. All in all great exercise
Thank you very much Steven, another diamond from you.
Time slips into another dimension when i listen to guided visualizations so I know what you mean Engilbert. So glad you enjoyed it.
Love this music and the way it helps me focus. I need this kind of aid to help with my inner thoughts so I can let them come to the surface.
Glad you liked the music in this Kathy. Visualizations are a great way to uncover more about ourselves whilst in a relaxed state, and the beauty is we don’t need to pay a therapist for the privilege
Loved this exercise, I feel like Jello.
I love the song Deep Blue Day, I have it on the Trainspotting soundtrack.
It’s a beautiful piece of music. I remember hearing it when I first watched Trainspotting and the scene he climbs into the toilet and swims about looking for his drugs, just amazing – loved the film too.
Sorry Folks, this is a test

Thanks!

Hi Stacy, so glad you liked this one. The whole album ‘Apollo’ is amazing and is definitely one of Brian Eno’s best.
I listened to your visualization this morning. You have a good, calm, clear voice. I liked the music. The first song and the last song were great. The middle song with the waves started a little loud. It startled me out of the relaxed mood you had me in. The music could have been more in the background or fading in and out abit. Overall it was very well done. I felt calm and relaxed. I was able to float out into the universe. Great job Steve
Thanks for your kind words wayne, I appreciate it.
