Picture a majestic mountain, any mountain that you can clearly visualize -the more detailed the visualization the better. The mountain is standing tall and strong. The mountain has been there for thousands of years. All around the mountain the weather changes from beautiful sunny skies to hurricane force winds to snow and ice. But, the mountain always stands firm - the activity just whirls around the mountain but does not affect the mountain day by day. Now, sit quietly and focus your breath going in and out - relax and breath...as the thoughts come in and out of your mind, picture yourself as the mountain. Sit tall and strong like a mountain, firmly grounded to the earth. Let the thoughts and stress and anxiety whirl around you without affecting you. The thoughts of people and situations that are pressuring you are just thoughts and you are a mountain, sitting strong. You are who you are, who you have always been, regardless of the "weather" happening around you. Sit with that feeling of power and majesty, breath in and out slowly and relax for as long as you feel comfortable doing so.
