THE MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION COLLECTION

A visualization for when your feeling a little down, frustrated and sad.

Imagine you are a flower that has drooped and your petals are closed.

Gently feel a rain shower fall quenching your thirst.
The sun comes out warming your petals, leaves and stem.
Slowly you begin to strengthen, lifting, straightening your stalk.

Ever so slowly your petals begin to open to greet the sun.

Your standing straight and tall now gently swaying in the breeze.

With your petals open your centre or heart begins to warm, expanding and
lifting towards the sun.

As it lifts towards the sun it expands filling with the sun's love and warmth.

Then in the very centre of your heart seeds of love grow and as they grow they
push towards the sun.

Suddenly each one bursts forth into the air joining with millions of other
seeds in the breeze spreading their love.

As the seeds land gently they take root and grow.

Now wherever you look all that you see is a sea of wondrous flowers swaying
gently in the breeze spreading their love.

With love, light and laughter. RosJoy

When my father was in Vienna,taking post graduate courses in Medicine under
a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, he befriend a young medical student
from Japan. On one occasion, he was invited to dinner at this young man's
apartment. The hostess for the evening was this man's sister: a geisha.
As the dinner progressed and everyone was engaged in lively conversation,
and eating a superb meal, this lady began to play a Japanese string
instrument. The tone was high and indeed painful to some who were not
used to the pitch and the music. One guest, German officer, got up and
flatly stated he would not sit there and listen to cats in heat.
He left only to return a short time later. Everything was as he left
it but the dishes were empty as was his glass. He had ceased to be.
No one spoke to him. No one served him. No one acknowledged his presence.
In one second he had become air. His voice still because it went unnoticed.
After a while, He stormed out of the party never to be seen by any
of the people invited again.
Ah, The Japanese are so polite to rude people and they give such clear,
concise and practical lessons, don't you think?

Blessed Be.
Lady Athena

First stand up and shake yourself a little just to get everything loose.
You can do a few head rotations if you like. 

Now sit or lay down, whatever is most comfortable for you. 
Get settled in, close your eyes and breath for a little while. 
Breathe from the abdomen completely filling on the in breath 
and completely emptying your lungs on the exhale. 

Now feel each of your chakras. I like to start at the root. 
Focus in on the energy as a spinning wheel and feel it spin and pulse,
Free of blockages or hindrance. Gently allow it to open like flower in a
gentle misting rain. 

Do this with all the chakras right up the body.
Make sure to include the HIGH HEART chakra 
(in between the heart and throat chakras) 
and the creativity chakra 
(at the base of the skull in the back of the neck).
At your discretion you may want to include the
chakras in the center of your palms and the soles of your feet as well.

Once you have all of them open and spinning and free bring energy in
through the crown. 

Picture a shaft of rotating gold and white light entering your crown chakra.
It travels down through your body illumining every particle of your BEing.
Feel it light up each chakra in turn. 

When you have reached the root and you are entirely lit 
with this golden/white energy

pause.... 

as the energy expands you are glowing with golden/white light energy 
each chakra is gently spinning and pulsing in it's own color within the glow.

Once again go chakra by chakra starting with the root. 
Project this energy back out through each chakra 
in the appropriate color. 
Picture a ball of light rising a couple of feet above your body 
on a column of the same.
 
When you have again reached the crown 
you now have a ball of light floating on a column 
from each chakra about two to three feet above your body. 

Allow those colours to merge into each other
creating a luminous egg of white light surrounding and enveloping you. 

Feel it suffuse every molecule of your BEing.

As you melt into the luminous self ...

REMEMBER.....
	 
It is revitalizing and clearing all blockages. Ride the ebb and flow of the
energy as it spins and dances it's way through you. Feel the tides of
the golden/white light streaming in through the crown chakra, 
out through the chakra system merging into the luminous egg.

Know yourself as this light. For that is who you truly are.

Now gently become aware of yourself as a body again.
 Start with the root chakra again. 
Pull those balls of light back down to their chakras. 
Close each chakra however much is comfortable for you.
When you have reached the crown 
become fully aware of your body 
and come back 
to this reality by opening your eyes. 

Savor the experience for a few minutes. 

Now JUMP! up and shout WOPILA! 

Then again shake yourself all over.

Go out into the world again ready to serve.

Grounding Meditation

		
Open your crown by focusing on it and then bringing the white/golden
light in and feel it come down through your body to each chakra in turn.

When you've brought the light all the way to the root chakra open that
and let the light move through it to mother earth.

Feel the flow through of energies from the universe through your body to
mother earth, revel in that for a while.

Now shapeshift that shaft of light/energy to a root stretching far down
into the earth. Open the chakras in the soles of your feet and grow
rootlets. 

Feel your roots soak up the nutrients and essences from the earth and
bring them into your body. Feel your body fill with the earth essence as
it flows in through the soles of your feet and your root chakra. Feel it
revitalize every particle of your being as it flows upward.

You may find yourself feeling rather plantlike during this meditation...
that's good! Exploit the feeling by growing leaves and soaking up the
white/gold light from above while the earth essence fills you from
below.

Revel in the flow of light from above and the earth essence that your
roots are eagerly absorbing from below. Feel every particle of your
being as it is energized and revitalized and firmly grounded to mother
earth.

Gradually bring your awareness back to knowing yourself as a spirit in a
human body. s---t---r---e---t---c---h...

VISUALIZATION: A JOURNEY INTO LIGHT

This is a beautiful expressive love filled moment of
existence. It is a moment of supreme joy and supreme bliss
for at this very moment of your existence, you have joined
with, are one with, are unified with the very essence, the
very center, the very core of all created entities, of all
created and manifested life energy. You are at the very
heart of the creative essence of the universe.

Feel what is being said for in your wildest dreams in the
physical and mental realm you could never perceive or ever
begin to reach the depths of consciousness and the infinite
extent of awareness that you rest in at this very moment.
It is not necessary to analyze or to think about what is
being offered for that will be to no avail. It is beyond
thought, beyond belief, beyond even feeling. It is the
state of simply knowing.

Let's go on a short journey which will bring you consciously
into and aligned with this place where you indeed already
are. It will be like crossing over a bridge and going
through a gateway where the expanse of the infinite realm of
consciousness can be known. For a moment, simply visualize
yourself sitting on a small hill. You are overlooking a
meadow, the wind is gently blowing, the sun is warm but not
too hot. There is grass gently swaying in the breeze
surrounding where you are sitting. There are occasional
wild flowers that poke their pretty little heads through the
grass covered slope. You feel at peace, you feel at home,
you feel rested, you feel very loved.

You see a small trail that meanders down the gentle slope
through the grass and out into this meadow. You decide to
follow this trail. Feel yourself walking through the grass
following the trail into the meadow. It is a most beautiful
feeling for the wind is gently blowing, the sun is warm on
your back, the beauty is indescribable in this meadow with
the wild flowers. You even hear the song being broadcast by
various birds of the meadow. You pause for a moment and
simply feel the essence of where you are as you look around
and view the beauty of this meadow.

You proceed down the path and as you approach the center of
the meadow, you find a wooden gate across the pathway. The
wooden gate is slightly ajar. There are two posts, one on
either side. The gate comes up to about your waist and you
know that the gate is beckoning you to walk through. You
approach the gate. It is a beautiful ornate entry gate with
carvings of various figures and graceful swirls. You gently
touch the gate. It swings open effortlessly as though to
say, welcome, come, continue on your journey.

You walk through the gate and as you do, you see the
surrounding area transformed into a large expanse, a
seemingly limited expanse of a body of water. It is like a
lake but larger. It seems to extend forever in all
directions to the very limits of your perception. You find
yourself beginning to move and to walk across this lake. It
is as though you are partially suspended and you are able to
glide like an ice skater across the surface of this water,
although you know there is no ice for it is still warm and
very comfortable and beautiful.

You find yourself following what appears to be like a trail
across the surface of this water. You feel full of a
buoyant energy that is like a release of energy from deep
within that simply extends and elevates you into the far
reaches of your environment.

You move out into what appears to be the center of this vast
body of water and you find yourself wanting to sit down, to
simply absorb and to reflect on the beauty, serenity,
calmness, the peace that is so evident and so complete. You
sit down and cross your legs and simply absorb this
beautiful, peaceful environment.

You find yourself slowly looking around at what appears to
be a distant horizon. As you look at this distant horizon,
a glow of light begins to appear as though there is light
just beyond the horizon. It is as though you are surrounded
by light. You feel this light rising from the horizon and
forming a canopy over the entire area you are observing. It
is as though a sphere is forming, a sphere of light, that
totally surrounds and totally absorbs and totally penetrates
all points of your awareness. You look down and notice that
the water has disappeared and you are indeed suspended in
the center of a huge infinite sphere of light. You find
your entire being absorbed in this light. You find that you
let go of all identity of self, all identity of
separateness, all limiting perceptions. You are simply
absorbed into and one with this sphere of light.

You become the light. The light is you, and you feel
Oneness with this light. You are part of and one with all
that exists. You remain totally unified with this light for
it is you. There appears to be other spheres of light as
you are suspended in the midst of this infinite universe.
These other spheres of light are all of the same beauty and
radiance and magnificence. You find that you as a sphere of
light are attracted to and begin joining with and merging
with these other spheres of light, and there is a feeling of
extreme joy, extreme bliss, a feeling of absolute harmony.
As these spheres of light join together, there is even a
larger sphere of light that is manifested. It is as though
there is a presence of the creative essence of the universe.
All spheres of light have joined as one and it is realized
that all is One and that all light exists and radiates from
the very center of creation. You simply rest in this
knowing. You simply exist as part of, one with this sphere
of light, the Light of Creation

I AM. I AM Love. I AM Light. I AM Life. I AM.
