Then he leads listeners on a powerful, deep guided imagery meditation that provides the structure and focus to help you make a shift, release judgment, and open to love.

Unload your worries, and send them away for good. Then re-envision your life, worry free. Worry much? Worrying casts a dark shadow over everything in our lives. And it’s often a pattern so deep in our unconscious mind that we hardly notice doing it. We all know that worrying does absolutely nothing to help us. But what it does do is keep us from enjoying life, keep us from recognizing opportunities, and keep us in a state of mind that tends to attract more things to worry about. It also leads to depression, and makes us not so nice to be around.

You may notice that the music changes key with each color - that's part of the technique... This is a journey that is fun for kids as well as anyone who wants to feel a little younger."
