This guided meditation is designed to help you relieve stress and build inner strength. Each time you take the journey, you will discover something new. One of this meditation’s goals is to help you get to Know Thyself better.

In the animal kingdom, a bear retreats when nourishment is scarce. We can learn from the bear to go within, to meditate, to find comfort inside, to hear the voice that speaks in the silence, and to look into our deeper, higher self.

Before you begin:

1. Create a Sacred Space for yourself.

2. Turn off the phone ringer, cell and pager.

3. Adjust the lighting for relaxation.

4. Breathe.

Get relaxed in your seat. Your spine should be supported by the back of your chair and your feet should be flat on the ground. Find a comfortable position for your hands. You may place your hands on your thighs palms up, or you can support them in any way that feels comfortable. The most important thing is to be comfortable.
