This meditation is intended to elicit the Relaxation Response, the physiologic opposite of the stress response. Visualization of our "Best Possible Selves" (BPS) or Ideal Self, has been shown to promote desired behavior changes and break through limiting mindsets. It has also been shown to increase positive affect and flow when given as a written assignment once a week. Listeners may choose to write for 10 min on what they visualized and write a few specific goals on how to attain their BPS.
