IMPORTANT: Do not listen to this program while you are driving, or working with any type of machinery, or play it over the car speakers while someone else is driving. These guided visualizations can serve an adjunctive function to medical or psychological treatment, but in no way replace professional treatment.

Feeling welcome, accepted, and connected in the world does not always come naturally to us. However, if we continually feel unwelcome, isolated, and unworthy, negative expectations of our self and others arise. A pervasive sense of unwelcomeness has neurological implications, as internal representations of what is expected in relationships and in the world form into neural firing patterns - in which negative expectations are forged into our memory system, recreating the same pattern of negativity over and over again.

The good news is that we are adaptable creatures, and we can literally alter our neural activity toward a new story. Through practice, in a relaxed, calm state, we can alter our neural activity in a positive way - creating a new memory of ourselves in the world and in relationship with others.

Sometimes it helps to initiate the process of change by being guided by another at first. These guided visualizations intend to facilitate welcomeness by encouraging a deep understanding of our connection to this Earth we share, and to all of life.

This manner of reflection encourages a deep sense of reassurance, which does not depend on external events and circumstances to determine our well-being, but allows the emergence of a mature, sustaining spirituality.
