Meditation Essentials: Escape From Darkness

This meditation combines breath control with visualization to induce the calm state needed to solve a problem.

Visualize yourself running through a forest from which there seems to be no escape. Recalling how panicked you are, you slow to a steady walk and once you do, you notice a path leading out of the forest. Focus your visualization on the steps along the path. Imagine that with each slow step you take you also take a deep breath. This will have the effect of actually regulating your breathing and therefore calming you right down.
