Note: This contains powerful imagery that some may find upsetting. If you are very sensitive to challenging imagery, do the other meditations before this one.
This meditation uses the powerful Stoic technique of premeditation of adversity to make you contemplate just how "bad" your life could be.
By practicing negative visualization, you will see with great clarity how wonderful your life currently is, and also rehearse handling hardship with equanimity and virtue.
