In my previous videos I spoke about the many different forms of meditation. The most valuable to me has been visualization meditation.

I used visualization as part of the process of setting, and reinforcing my goal to be medication free.

All types of goals are best achieved if broken into smaller goals that are more easily achieved.

I have a pill cutter and crusher that I purchased from a local pharmacy. I bought it when I had to treat one of my cats. 

I cut their pills into quarters, and crushed one of the pieces into a powder. I added the crushed powder to their food. 

A bit more work than putting the pill fragment into their mouth, but I did not have to watch them to ensure they did cough it up.

I would set my Metformin dose of 2 x 500mg pills on the counter. 

I took the pill cutter and visualized using it to cut each pill in two, 250mg.

Then I opened the crushing compartment and visualized crushing a pill fragment into a powder and sprinkling on my food.

In the end, my doctor reduced my medication from 1,000mg to 500mg and then to zero. 

The visualization of reducing my medication, cutting and crushing pills, was positive reinforcement of my ultimate goal. 

There are many ways to use physical things around is to reinforce outcomes we visualize achieving. 

A simple pill counter I purchased for a few dollars was a powerful way to visualize my medication being reduced in size and strength.
