Meditation Basics

Meditation is the key to a healthy, peaceful lifestyle. It can be used for stress and anxiety relief, personal insight, relaxation, energy, a more restful sleep and a bridge to manifesting and channeling all that you desire in your life.

Sacred Space
Make a special space for your meditation. It can be a corner of a room with a pillow on the floor, or even an entire room geared for meditation. Some prefer a garden setting. Whatever works for you! Be sure it is a place that you can be alone and not be disturbed for the duration of your meditation. You may also burn oils or incense to create a more relaxing ambience in your sacred space.

Music
Find music that relaxes you. Flutes and harp are relaxing instruments. Running water or nature sounds may resonate with you. Music is very personal, so go with feels right to you. Play it at a low volume during meditation.

Be Comfortable
Wear loose fitting clothes, cotton or anything that breathes. Do not wear anything complicated or restricting. Be sure to use a pillow or sit in a comfortable chair. Keep this area the same, so when you sit down, your body and mind know it is time for meditation. Our body enjoys routine and it will help prepare you each time to relax.

Posture
Sit in a lotus position if you can, or simply cross your legs and rest your hands on your knees. If you are in a chair, keep your feet flat on the floor. Always keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed. Roll your head around and from side to side to let your neck know it should relax.

Breath
Breathing is the most important part of meditation. The more deeply you breathe, the more relaxed you will be. It allows your mind to let go, your spirit to begin projecting out of body. Try a five count breath in through your nose, ten count breath out through your mouth. Repeat five times. Enjoy the moment, feel present with each breath. Let it take you into the meditation. Each time your mind begins to wonder, let your breath lead you back. Focus on your breath. Imagine inhaling a wind of wisdom and energy, exhaling a fire filled with old issues. Allow these breaths to take you into a deep, peaceful state of being, relaxed and aware of your inner world. Enjoy the moment and love yourself.

Relaxation
Consciously imagine a warm, golden liquid melting down from above, over your head, slowly melting over your neck, shoulders, down your arms. Allow the liquid to slowly drip over your back, your chest, over your stomach and hips. Feel it smoothing over your legs and covering your feet. Allow each drop to relax your body completely. Let the warmth penetrate your skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and embraced by love. You are now ready to begin your meditation.

What defines you?
Are you open to changes in your life?
Do you seek truth and understanding?
Do you surrender to a greater good?
Does the idea of infinite possibilities scare or thrill you?
Would you like to manifest abundance in your life today?
Are you ready to walk a path of enlightenment without expectation?

Open yourself
to the possibility that you may be looking through only one facet of the prism – at yourself, the world, the Universe.
Realize that once you see the prism itself, and understand that you are the prism, you have reached a state of enlightenment. Always question your perception, for it is only when we see through all facets, that we will see the truth.

The Ascension Grid Meditation

• First, be in a quiet place for meditation to occur. In this sacred space, you will intend to enter the Merkaba. Imagine your intent as a single sentence drifting in blackness in your mind. This sentence will begin to take shape. The shape will be a form familiar to you. You will feel your soul begin to travel to it, closer and closer, until you can touch and finally enter the shape. The shape will contain a grid, enclosing it and encompassing your body, mind and soul. Allow the shape, the Merkaba to ascend.

• As you ascend, there will be a feeling of slipping through liquid. The liquid is neither warm nor cold, but thick and intense. It will rip a skin of ‘knowing’ from you as you pass through it. You will feel pure, your body surrendering to the new level of being and your mind clear to begin receiving information. Your spirit will feel at home as you enter the Ascension Grid.

• All around you is color, all the colors of the spectrum, encasing you. A grid is weaving through the reality you are in now. If you look closely, each delicate thread of the grid contains information, wisdom, answers, a sense of joy and completion. You may reach out to touch it, but what you feel is oneness with the grid, as if you were another delicate strand in the body of energy.

• Think of a question, anything you wish to know now. It is time. Allow the answers to fill you, not only with knowledge, but a deep understanding of the answer. You are part of the Universe, and in this, you ARE the Universe. Let the knowing penetrate you and breathe through you. You are complete.

• As you feel you have finished your work in the Ascension Grid, allow your Merkaba to descend now. Feel yourself drift down, back through a layer of liquid, this time feeling full and complete. It soothes you as you drip back down into your humanly body and into your seat.

• Take deep breaths until you can wiggle your toes and fingers. And when you are ready, open your eyes. You have returned. Retain, remember, rejoice!
