It’s called a mental trigger.
In order to create an effective mental trigger you must first get into a very relaxed meditative state.

To do this requires the following:
- Find a quiet location free of distractions. Turn off the cell phone, radio, and television and make sure that you won’t be interrupted.
- A comfortable position. You can meditate sitting or lying down, walking or doing virtually any other physical activitie. The key is that your comfortable and relaxed, and not straining.
- Relaxed breathing. Meditation requires deep, even paced, diaphragmatic breathing. The purpose is to slow the breathe, take in more oxygen, and reduce tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper chest.
- Focus your attention. Focusing your attention helps you to clear your mind of the many distractions that cause you stress and anxiety during the day. It gives you a chance to reboot your nervous system. As you become more proficient you will learn to focus your mind on specific intentions, thereby enhancing your ability to manifest your needs and desires into reality.
Now breath in through your nose, steadily and calmly, breathing in 1,2,3,4, now slowly release the breath, slowly, 1, 2, 3, and, 4. Again, breath in through your nose, steadily and calmly, breathing 1,2,3,4, now slowly release the breath, slowly, 1, 2, 3, and, 4. That’s good, once again breath in 1, 2, 3, and 4 and gently release the breath 1,2,3, and 4. That’s great. Continue breathing in this way, in 1,2,3,4 and now slowly release, 1,2,3, and 4.
Now just relax. Stay like this for a few moments and enjoy the feeling. Your mind and body are totally relaxed and comfortable. All stress and anxiety is now gone it has simply faded away. Your mind is quiet and calm. You are at total peace with yourself and the world around you.
Now if you’d like you can create a mental trigger?
Focus on this feeling of total relaxation and contentment. Really soak it in. Put your thumb and forefinger together, and say, “I am totally relaxed and free of all stress and anxiety.” Repeat this to yourself several times or if you prefer say it out loud.
Now any time you want to feel totally relaxed and free of stress, you can simply put your thumb and forefinger together, and relaxation will come to you easily and effortlessly. Any time during the day, or night, when you need to relax, you can utilize this technique. Just put your thumb and forefinger together and you will feel totally relaxed and free of stress.
The beauty of this technique is that it can be used anywhere and anytime. For instance,
- You feel stressed at work, just put your two fingers together take a deep breathe and repeat to yourself, “I am totally relaxed and free of all stress and anxiety.” and watch your stress and anxiety begin to fade away.
- Taking an exam and got stuck on a question, again, put your two fingers together and take a really deep cleansing breathe, and repeat to yourself, “I am totally relaxed and free of all stress and anxiety.” Now return to that question, with a little more clarity and perspective than you had before.
- Feeling sad about a loved one or a stressful relationship. To gain perspective, simply use your mental trigger.
