Meditation
Meditation is the process of deliberately entering an altered state. This is
best if done daily for ten to twenty minutes, it can have a profound effect on
your emotional well-being, as well as maintaining your physical health
In this section we will share some guided meditations for you to try. These are
ones that seems to help you with issues in ever day life.
Remember to sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes. Breath in slowly and
deep till you feel your chest rise then release the air slowly. With each breath
spirit is sending you love and support. Clear all thoughts of your daily issues.
With each breath out your clearing your mind and sending all negative out of
your body. Put your self in a white bubble of spirit protecting you and spirits
love. You feel it like a mist covering you. Know you are safe and full of LOVE!
Relaxation Through
Meditation
My preference would be to call meditation relaxation. These are words that are
more universally understood, more comfortable. Constantly working toward the
goal of discovering my own ability to reach a state of serenity.
Meditating is actually easier than you might imagine. Most of us have dabbled in
meditation by participating in conscious relaxation. Maybe during an exercise
class or to manage pain at the dentist or anxiety before a test. We start by
paying attention to our breathing. The practical effort to focus completely on
our breathing takes our minds away from the "mind clutter" that constantly tries
to invade our mind and eliminate feelings that will lead to a time of calm. With
repeated effort the goal of clearing your mind - to think of nothing, does occur
and the process of meditation takes on its own energy. The result is, and I
guarantee this, peace, serenity, calmness, eventually opening yourself to new
insights.
Meditating for Life
Too much stress, stress reduction, chill out, let it go, detach - familiar
phrases to all of us. Our world is fast, fun and exciting. It is also
challenging, trying, demanding and frightening. These two sides of our lives
produce stress, emotional reactions, anxiety, worry and anticipation. Our bodies
and minds can tolerate only so much of any of these. After a while, each of us
reaches a saturation point and the results become uncomfortable at best; for
some it may be unbearable, even unendurable.
No magic pill is available to eliminate these feelings. The reality is, as the
wise old man said, the answer is inside all of us. To manage these universal
concerns we must go inside ourselves. Among the steps we can take is the
learning and practicing of meditation.
What to Expect
With time and faith in the commitment to practice frequently, (daily meditating
is ideal), during your meditation time you may "leave the moment." A feeling of
separation exists where the mind is clear, clean and blank. You will still hear
sounds around you, but they will not interfere with your meditation.
Sometimes you may weep -- you may not even be aware of what is making you weep.
It is your own emotions having a voice of their own. Sometimes you may feel a
smile across your face -- that is contentment showing itself. Sometimes you may
fall asleep and awaken truly refreshed.
There is no right or wrong behavior during your meditation. It is your time for
you. Everyone deserves this kind of personal attention. This is a self-care
activity; loving oneself! Teach it to your children instead of a time-out in
their room or corner. Teach it to your friends, family, anyone who will listen.
We can share this gift and get back as we give. We are all better because of
each person who meditates. The peace and joy felt by those who meditate enters
the world for all of us as positive energy. From it the world is a better place.
Imagine if we all practiced meditation!
Meditation
Is the next step, I feel this opens the doors and heals you.
Meditation is not as hard as one thinks. It is a combination of breath work and
calming ones thought.
It can be very calming and therapeutic for one. It can help you in life in so
many ways. It is still unknown all the positive power of effect a meditation can
do for one person. I feel take a ten minute break in ones life is well worth the
time of being complete. Every morning I get up and say my thanks to god and
angels. I then do a ten minute mediation to start my day. If I fail to do this I
feel my life is running wild. Some say it is a ritual but I say it is taking
time for you. Take ten minute before the morning news and you will see how much
better you will feel.
I do a ten minute one in the morning then one at night before I go to bed is
very soothing, The reason is cause I wake up mediate and I am refreshed and
centered when I go to bed then I say my nightly meditation and it releases me of
my worries and I sleep much better when I forget to do this then I toss and turn
all night.
There are guided mediations theses are great for beginners who are trying to
connect with spirit. This will help you relax and calm one thought's down. I say
with all meditation it is best if you can use head phones. The music is very
relaxing and the voice is very calming. If you chose just music, this is also
very nice. I feel it works several ways. I can listen to Native American music
with a flute I will connect with this and my animal guide. Or you can listen to
just some church bells and find guides, angels. For me it helps in so many
different ways. Have intent like "I intend to contact my guides and have they
given me love and healing". If you have a plan what you want to accomplish on
your meditation. Then when you are done you will see you have your answers that
you wished to find.
There is no right way to meditate or no real wrong way if it calms you down and
relaxes you then it is a way that connects with you
Let us see which way is the best for you?
First wear clothes that are comfortable. Turn off all phones, television,
anything that can distract you if you have children then try to have your spouse
take car of the kids while you take time for you.
1.) Seating.
A) The first thing you need to do is find a comfortable chair and relax.
Put your feet flat on the floor.
B.) You may sit on floor Indian style.
I also take my shoes off it helps me to stay grounded. I like the feel of earth
below me. I can imagine I have roots growing from my feet to help me know my
place in life and to help protect me.
Also make sure your spine is straight this helps balance you. It will align all
energy points for you spiritually
2.) Hands
A.) Hands palm up means receiving
energy from others and above.
B.) Palms down is for keeping yourself grounded.
Now this right here can be very confusing.
I say if you are new to meditation it would be wise to do hands down this way
you can master your breathing and
Concentrate on you. After a period of time and you can relax your thought
pattern then you can go hands up. Then you will receive and feel a lot more
energy and information. But you first have to learn to release all thought
patterns.
3.) Breath work:
Practice this a couple times before you start. Take deep breaths in. You will
feel your chest rise and just a feeling of nature and cleanness coming into your
body.
What you want is to fill your chest cavity. Hold it till you count to four.
ONE TWO THREE FOUR NOW EXHALE.
That is first step to breath work.
4.) Thought release patterns.
*Calming ones thoughts down. This can be difficult. I know, I am very busy
person and always have something to do.
You have several ways you can do this. Close your eyes and try to relax.
A) Imagine you are breathing in the positive light of spirit that is sending you
love and healing.
B) Count to ten slowly then repeat backwards till you get to zero between each
number say RELAX .
C) Feel that there is a dusting coming over your body this dusting is sent from
your angels and you feel it falling on all parts of your body start at your head
all the way to your toes. (head, shoulders, chest and so on)
D) Start at your feet feel all pain and stress being removed from this area,
then go to calves feel all stress and pain leaving this are go to knees and so
on and so on.
E) Think only of your breathing nothing else but each breath you take and each
release of breath. Feel it see it know it.
I sometimes will use several of these in my mediations to help me. I will do
this help calm myself down.
As you feel you are able to do your breath work then the next thing is
visualization. Imagine your perfect place, if it is by the Ocean shore, or if
you are walking through the woods. See every thing all the flowers, animals
everything put detail in it all. Make your perfect place to go to when ever you
feel the need.
Here is some you may try to
help you on this journey.
I use these in my classes and workshops.
Meet your guides
Allow your body to gently relax. Move yourself around on your chair until you
feel perfectly comfortable.
Now I want you to move your attention DOWN from your head to your chin and DOWN
from your chin to your throat and DOWN from your throat to your chest. DOWN,
DOWN to your stomach.
Now move down into that safe place deep within yourself, that place which is
just below your navel. This is your sacred sanctuary, a place that only you know
about.
From that place, I want you to move into the hallway in your mind. Along the
hallway are many doors. One particular door is of golden light. You feel drawn
by that door and you move through the door of light into a place of peace,
comfort and protection.
Once through the door, you find yourself on a path through the woods. As you
move along the path, you faintly hear the sound of water. Birds sing in the
trees. The sunlight filters through the canopy of deep, green trees overhead. A
warm, gentle breeze caresses your face and blows lightly through your hair. You
feel as if you are being kissed by God. The smell of the forest and of wild
flowers surrounds you, bathing you in an essence so sweet and so wild that your
senses are reeling.
You come to a body of water. Because it is part of the enchanted forest, this
water is pure, clean and clear. It is cool and inviting. You sit on the edge of
the bank and dip your cup into the sacred water and you drink. You are comforted
and refreshed.
You arise and continue moving on your path through these wondrous woods. Soon
you come to a clearing in the trees. The clearing is surrounded by stately oaks,
their branches extended to protect you. The color of the wild flowers stands out
strong against the greens of the grasses and the brown-black of the tree barks.
You breathe deeply of the sweet air. You know this place… you've been here
before. Maybe in your dreams or maybe in life - it doesn't matter. You just know
that it is your haven.
There is wonderful, soft green grass growing here and it invites you to sit down
and rest. Now you begin to hear in the distance other-worldly music, Tibetan
bells… flute music… soft chanting… You listen carefully, as you feel drawn to
the music.
You look up and see purple mountains in the distance. As you look, a tiny golden
Light appears. It draws closer and closer to you. It floats gently up the path
toward your little sanctuary. Its light is soft and gentle. Yet it shines with a
brilliance you have never seen.
As it reaches the outer edge of your sanctuary, it stops and becomes a large
pulsating crystalline light. You watch. You wait. You give the light permission
to enter your space.
The light draws forward and hovers just before you. The Light shimmers. Soft
strands of gold stream forth like a flower blossoming. As each petal of this
light unfolds, you see that something or someone is inside.
Then you see before you a wondrous being that you recognize as your spirit
guide. You know it is your spirit guide because you feel a strong surging of
love pouring out from it to you and you feel, deep in your heart, a strong
answering outpouring of love from you to it. You feel completely safe with this
being. It may or may not tell you its name, but it calls you by your name.
Spirit Guides will take any form that you need to understand right now. It can
be in the form of a human, an animal, an object or some divine form. See it!
imagine it! Know it is real!
What form is your spirit guide in? What shape is it? If it is human, is it male
or female? What does it smell like? What color is it? What does it feel like?
Begin to carry on a conversation with this wondrous being. Ask its name. What is
its purpose? Why has it come to you?
Let this being communicate itself to you and tell you why it is working with
you. Ask it for its help and guidance. Ask your guide what you need to know
about your life at this time. Tell your guide anything that is disturbing to you
at this time. Ask it how best to call upon it in the future.
Ask it to let you know it is there, consciously, within the next few days,
whenever you need help.
When you feel finished, thank your guide for the opportunity to meet and work
with it.
As the golden light folds back up around your guide, send it off with your best
thoughts and love. As it withdraws from your space, moving back up the path, you
sit back down in your spot. You understand that in this inner sanctuary you
invite any and all of your guides into your awareness.
This is exciting and you are fascinated with your experience, your experience of
expanding your horizons. You breathe deeply, relaxing and reliving in your mind,
what has happened. BREATHE.
As you do so, the path and the woods begin to fade and you find yourself gently
coming back to the present… to this room, this time and this place. When you are
ready, be sure to drink some water and maybe eat a slice of bread to ground
yourself.
Right now, it would be helpful to you if you wrote down all you have
experienced, exactly as it happened.
Trust
Sit in a quite place. Make sure you are comfortable. Place both feet
on the
ground and begin
to mentally prepare for you meditation.
Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breathing. Always focus on each breath. If
you become distracted return to the breathing. Take a few minutes of this
breathing relaxation to prepare for your mindful meditation.
Inhale…
Exhale...
Relax deeper into your chair. Think of nothing but breathing.
Picture in your mind a walkway. It is narrow and enclosed by blank, clean walls.
Walk down this pathway until you come to an opening. It may be a door, or a
gate, or a just a break in the wall. Go through the opening and find yourself in
a deep, quiet, safe open space. It may feel like a forest or a cave or an
valley. Whatever it seems to you, it is safe. It is safe for you to sit down and
wait.
The place you have chosen is very quiet. It is all yours. There is no one else
aware of your place. No one expects anything from you. Allow yourself to sit
quietly as long as you like.
When you are ready become aware of another presence nearing you. It is of you,
and brings various messages. Whatever you have been seeking, this presence is
aware of and has a feeling to share with you. It has an essence to give you that
will make you aware of the answers to your own questions.
Ask it any question you may have. Ask it to please answer you in whatever way it
is able. Ask it for help, then wait. An answer will come. You will feel the
answer inside yourself. Another presence may join you. Ask for additional
information or ask for new feelings to answer another question. The answers will
come to you.
Always know you are safe with each question, each answer, each presence. Stay
with your thoughts in this place until you are ready to return. You will feel in
touch with this inner messenger and you will trust the answers that came to you.
Know that you can return here any time. You may come back for new answers or to
reaffirm the feelings you have just received. Thank those that came to you this
day. Acknowledge the feelings that are part of you. Hold dear your sense of
instinct and intuition. They are the conscious source of this intuition. Allow
them to become part of your life.
Get ready to leave this place you created. It is your sacred place now and you
will return often to gather more information for your life.
Walk back through the opening, back down the long pathway. You may be moving
slightly more quickly now, Anxious to awaken with your new sense of yourself,
anxious to see how this will become part of your life. Your breathing may become
quicker. Notice your breathing. Pause a moment and open your eyes.
Chakra
Sit in a chair. It is important to have both feet on the ground.
You may choose to be barefoot. Let your arms rest comfortably by you resides.
Take several deep breaths. While letting your breathing becomes deeper and even,
picture yourself standing with your feet apart hands by your sides with your
fingers naturally open. Keep this picture in your mind as you continue.
Inhale … Exhale …
Allow your breathing to relax your body and clear your mind.
Picture a circle of energy near the base of your spine. This energy is strong.
It connects you to the earth. This energy generates instinctive feelings of
survival. It urges you to love and care for yourself.
Move up to the next circle of energy in your pelvic area - this is the center of
your emotions. Your acceptance of pleasure springs from this energy source.
Accepting the joy and contentment derived from physical pleasure will contribute
to overall balance in life.
The energy of the third Chakra is near the naval area. Your creativity will flow
from here. The essence of your spirituality begins with this positive energy
source. Your heart Chakra energy is about love. It is the source of active love
that is in everything you do. Your ability to love comes from here and includes
your capacity for empathy, sympathy, forgiveness and allows the abundance of all
life to be available to you. The positive essence is an overwhelming sense of
fullness felt as love.
The throat Chakra involves the energy of your own inner voice - guiding you to
be open and honest with yourself an others. This is your voice of wisdom. When
listened to this will lead you to take actions that will keep you balanced and
true to yourself.
The next energy level near your forehead will guide you to awareness of your
soul. Imagination is the magic of this Chakra. Let yourself free your mind and
as you accept the power and the awe of your own soul, so will you realize the
soul within everyone and everything.
Finally to the top of your head, the energy flows out and above you. It is
directly connected to your spiritual self and all spirituality in the world.
With this Chakra, flashes of enlightenment will occur -- moments of true
understanding of the world and all it contains. All events and emotions are
clear and during those moments, everything makes sense. This highest energy
source is the essence of all life and existence. It is true magic and it is
yours.
Envision your whole being fully energized through your having focused on the
Chakra points. The body connection to each energy source will guide you to heed
its request for attention through physical sensations - a headache, a stiff
back, butterflies in your stomach.
Think … what is going on in your life that may be blocking the positive energy
flow - are you so busy with tasks that you must do that you have no time to be
playful and enjoy the day? Are you so involved with the technical side of daily
activities that you have no time for fantasy? Are you so busy taking care of
everyone else's needs that you ignore your own needs and desires? Trust that
these sensations mean something. Think about it … Permit yourself to realize
that as you notice these connections, you will naturally save yourself, your
soul your spirit. You will be more vital in all that you do
