And, our cats love that we are home all the time 🙂

What Is Visualization Meditation?

Visualization meditation focuses on the use of guided imagery to cultivate certain psychological qualities. The foundations of meditation remain the same as for other non-visual forms, such as ensuring the posture supports a straight spine, whether sitting, standing, or lying down.
In visualization meditation, the primary focus is a positive image or guided imagery visualized in the mind’s eye. Other components of visualization meditation may include attending to the breath, mentally reciting mantras, and mindfulness.

5 Benefits According to Psychology

1. Helps to maintain alertness
This type of meditation practice may be especially beneficial for those who struggle to clear their mind to cultivate stillness or those who tend to become drowsy and doze off during other types of sitting meditation practices.

2. Cultivates psychological stability and wellbeing
Like other forms of meditation, visualization meditation helps combat stress and anxiety by supporting the cultivation of greater equanimity and emotional balance.

3. Enhances creativity
Visualization meditation requires the investment of active imagination and can help stimulate creativity. Some guided meditations, like inner journeying, actively encourage letting the imagination run amok and visualizing your wildest dreams. Creative types can really benefit from practicing this type of meditation.

4. Strengthens focus and goal achievement
Visualization meditation often uses active imagination and guided imagery to cultivate focus, especially on specific goals.

5. Improves self-image
Visualization meditation can be used to overcome self-image problems by supporting your vision of the person you want to be. For example, if a lack of self-confidence or procrastination prevents you from completing an important task, you can visualize yourself undertaking and completing the task with competence

Congratulations Photocopier on winning our second Employee of the Month!

There are few employees as dedicated and stable as Photocopier. Every day, rain, shine or snow Photocopier is ready and willing to work. No job is too big for them!

Photocopier was a large add on to the team at the time they joined, but the value they have given back to the office is ten-fold. We would not be able to get through a regular day let alone tax season without them.

Thank you for all your hard work through this Tax Season as well as every other day. Our lives would be a lot more complicated without you in it!

We have the BEST clients ever! Tax season snacks and coffee from one of our favorite clients.

Thank you for the love and support!
