What do you usually visualize in your mind during meditation?

One of my favorites—especially when there is a lot going on and I feel overwhelmed—-I’m driving a really smooth limousine all of my thoughts and problems and responsibilities are in the back of the car. They’re all valid and need attention at some point but they don’t need attention now. I take a deep breath and push the button that makes the dark window come up between me and my thoughts. They’re still there but I can get a little space as I’m driving a beautiful scenic route. The funny thing is after I meditate those thoughts seem to be in better control not all over the place like out of control toddlers

-Nature: trees, rocks, rivers, lakes, mountains, wind..and how i am a part of it -Movement: mostly body movements to the music, I imagine how I or a hypothetical person would move to the song I am listening to and how beautiful it is

I don’t visualize really I try to focus on breathing feeling the air come in through the nose into the lungs and belly and then out

So far I’ve been using guided meditations so I would visualize whatever the told me to whether it is being on the peak of a mountain the babbling river or just warm glow emanating from my body .

I’m still a beginner so at the moment my mind is still chattery. When I really focus I visualize an aura around me preferably a color I find calming. I also use the headspace app which provides directions on some visuals during meditation.

To help me stay focused on my breath, I visualize the air coming in and out of my nostrils, and visualize my lungs filling and emptying with air. It is kind of like watching and listening to the ocean tide.

When I meditate I visualize the ocean waves. I imagine that as my breath comes in the ocean waves are coming towards me, as I breathe out the ocean waves are pushing away.

It takes a few minutes to calm the mind. During that time my mind jumps from thought to thought, scenario to scenario. When I eventually find the peace within, I always imagine myself closing the door to my busy day and start thinking of the evening ahead. Most of the time I calmly drift off into a place where I think of my partner and where I would imagine us to be together. That focuses my mind and calms me. In the end, that is my happiness.

I don’t meditate often, but when I do, I often visualize the sounds I hear around me as if I was right there next to whatever was causing the noise. Other times I will also visualize the ocean or waves lapping against docks, as I find those areas to be happy places to me. Occasionally I’ll also think of a plant of some kind growing from droplets of rain. I think it mostly depends on the day! :)

I focus on peaceful and calm images which for me is normally the ocean or a large ball of light filling me. This creates a sense of calm and tranquility, and reduces my anxiety, which is my main goal during meditation. I like to have an open-mind during meditation and will sometimes picture the earth as a whole and realise how small i am compared to the whole world. This gives me the feeling of selflessness and helps me to realise that there are other people on this earth that may be going through hard times or similar times to me and that you should be kind to every person you come across because you never know what that person is going through.
