#RELAXING GUIDED MEDITATION on TRAINING YOUR MIND TO BE RESILIENT, #EPICTETUS #ASMR #STOIC

​In today's guided meditation, we will be reflecting on the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who was once a slave, but later went on to found an important school of philosophy in Greece.
He believed that the best he could do, was to teach others the skills for becoming mentally and emotionally resilient rather than handing out 'wise advice'.

Once, a student asked him for wise advise on a personal issue and Epictetus replied, "...You must understand how laughable it is to say 'Tell me what to do!' What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, 'Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance'...In this way, if circumstances take you off script...you won't be desperate for a new prompting."

Guided Meditation is a very powerful technique for internalising lessons. Here we visit 'Paradise Island' so keep your eyes open throughout.

(SUGGESTION: Make FULL-SCREEN & WEAR EARPHONES to get fully immersed).

DOCTORS RECOMMEND daily practice of a deeply relaxing  inner state, to help us manage stress and anxiety.  Scientific Studies have proven that in relaxed state, the mind is more than ​200% more receptive to suggestions,  than in ordinary, conscious state. In addition, when we introduce a 'positive mission statement' during this practice, it can bring on positive powerful changes in our life.

DID YOU KNOW? Deep relaxation practices of consciously recognizing and controlling our thoughts and dreams, has been around for centuries.  Since ancient Greek times,  "Morpheus" the Greek god of Dreams was venerated.  Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist, (384-322 BC) who wrote about this practice in his works, ('On Dreaming' and 'On Sleep and Waking') was the first to note that the images and symbols we see in dream and myth speak directly to our subconscious. Hippocrates, (460-377BC) the Father of modern Medicine, praised induced dreaming & hypnosis for its benefits. ​
