Healing Meditation
I stretch and relax my body then settle comfortably lying on my bed on my back. I breathe deeply and
slowly and tune my awareness into watching the inhalations and exhalations moving through my body. I
remind myself to detach my awareness from all external influences and encourage myself to float and drift
peacefully downwards into a deeper state of relaxation. It is just a casual observation of my breath and the
serenity, which flows through me.
I then direct my focus to the base of my spine. (Base Chakra) After a short time, I become aware of a
slight pulsation, which indicates that this area is now open and freely flowing with energy. The base chakra
is associated with security. A lack of free flowing energy here would indicate to me that I was holding
tension here, meaning that I was feeling insecure or unsupported.
I imagine a thick, strong, golden cord running from the base of my spine down deep into the centre of the
earth and grounding me. This gives me a sense of belonging in my space on the earth and also of being
securely held and supported. I then run another cord from the base of my spine down through my legs and
then out through the soles of my feet. This is an additional grounding cord and also anchors me. I watch in a
detached manner as energy rises along the cords and I can physically feel energy waves, gently and
pleasantly, swirling around my pelvic area.
I affirm to myself, “I am safe, supported, secure and protected. I am physically and materially provided for
and all of my needs are met, easily and effortlessly”.
My attention now lifts to my third eye; this is the screen of my mind. I look slightly upwards towards the
inside of my forehead above and behind my eyebrows. I ask the question, “What do I most need to see,
know, feel or do right now?” It’s tempting to keep asking, but I know that stillness is required and listening
is essential. It takes a moment for the fluttering and blurred fragments to focus into clear images. My senses
seem to probe, shift and adjust, trying to hook into a strong sensation.
I begin to see images of myself and sense that the theme is about issues that I have with money. I ask what
it is that I need to understand here. I sense/hear the words ‘debt consciousness’. Images of debt, financial
lack and money struggles play out on my screen. I see myself years earlier having my car repossessed,
being evicted, borrowing and stealing, stressed, embarrassed, resentful, frustrated and angry.
The images go back into childhood issues, many things long forgotten, but now playing across my mind. I
see myself on a running machine. I run faster and faster but still I get no further ahead. I see a calendar with
pages tearing away and years racing by. The calendar has all the pages marked with numbers and due
dates.
The images play like a short movie or photographs of my life.
I then see a box and rolls of video film are placed inside it. The box lifts and then spirals downwards. I
watch it falls quickly and deeply down into the centre of the earth. Fire swallows the box and an ever so
slight wisp of smoke rises to confirm to me that the box and all its contents have been destroyed.
My attention is now drawn back to the base of my spine. I notice long white tentacles emanating outwards
in all directions. The tentacles seem to be white ribbons but then I realize that they are fluid beams of white
light. As I watch, I notice that the lights are searching the world, the Universe and beyond. I become aware
that the light is seeking and finding good fortune, gifts, windfalls, inheritances, generosity, ideas, success and
abundance. Money symbols like dollar signs, coins and dollar notes slide easily and quickly along the shafts
of light and fall into the base of my spine.
My pelvic area feels like it is expanding. I notice multi-coloured lights flickering and waves of cloudy energy
forms swirling around inside me. Golden stars shoot around and out of me. I feel light, energized and
peaceful. I am pulsating and expanding, feeling lighter and lighter.
The energy rises into the second chakra. I watch fascinated as a clear glass looking funnel rises from me
and extends into infinity. Thick, fluid light is being poured into the funnel and enters my body, swirling
around, feeling warm and slightly vibrating within me. I become weightless and feel as if I am floating
blissfully on air.
Faces of past lovers and friends come into focus and then drift by. They return pieces of me that they have
been holding and I notice fragments lift from me and return to them. I’m not sure what this exchange is, but
as I wonder about this, my intuition answers, “We are letting go and moving on”. This is done with gratitude
and love. We all keep what has been given and meant to be kept, but we let go of the attachments to each
other which may have been holding us back.
As the energy around my second chakra becomes stronger and freer I find my body responding with a
sense of sexual arousal. It’s very nice, but I know that if I focus on this I will become tempted to allow
myself to be seduced by it. I have learned through experience that by lifting my attention into the third
chakra, the arousal energy will become spiritual energy and physical vitality.
I sense and see what looks a little like The Milky Way expanding throughout my solar plexus; twinkling,
gold and silver particles and wispy cloudy light, with floating and spiralling coloured strings, gentle
movement and a slight humming sensation. This reminds me of looking through a microscope or perhaps a
kaleidoscope. This is too hard to describe as nothing else is similar enough to make a comparison. There
are colours and shapes that don’t exist in my present reality.
I notice a beam of light like a spotlight, searching out dark or congested pockets within the area. I am
scanning my stomach, kidneys, liver and digestive system. I physically feel a lot of movement and hear my
stomach growl. There is a feeling of effervescence like champagne bubbles rising within me. An ever so
slight nauseous feeling washes over my solar plexus, but before I can ask if I am not well, I realize that there
is a lifting and freeing of emotional blockage in progress.
Feeling reassured, I relax and observe what seems like a magnifying glass being held over varying shapes of
dark energy patterns. Words like criticism, resentment, worry and insecurity come to my mind. The dark
shapes become lighter and appear to be hit with a laser beam. This lifts the patterns like some kind of
vapour which then disappears. It’s impossible to describe this accurately, but I found it really interesting to
view emotions and feelings as textures, colours and shapes.
I move my hands and rest them over my heart as I will the energy to rise again and enter the heart area. I
can physically feel my heart beating under my hands. I instruct my hands to send warmth and healing light
into my heart. It takes a moment, but then I notice my heart beat slowing down. Very subtle waves of
movement are spreading throughout my chest and up into my shoulders. My hands can feel this movement
and my heart, lungs, back and shoulder muscles become expanded and lighter. There are two or three very
strong streams of movement racing down through my body and out through my feet. It feels like a drain
being unblocked as my whole body takes up this surge of lightness and effervescence. I feel a sense of
excitement but it is also profoundly calm and serene at the same time.

Healing Meditation – An Inside View
Within most of us is a deep and compelling need or desire to do better, feel
better and be better. There are so many roads to travel in our quest to find
ourselves, change ourselves or improve ourselves. Some may ponder life’s
great questions from within their own minds, whilst others may go in search of
knowledge or experience. Many take a practical approach and look at
education or the development of talents and techniques. There are many
books and courses on things related to personal growth. We may find
ourselves writing down our goals and charting our accomplishments. Often,
the focus is on such things as motivation, self esteem, relationship issues,
breaking or creating habits or getting fit and healthy. Personal growth is often
about becoming more successful or improving career and financial issues.
At some point, during the personal growth adventure, everyone comes to the
realization that the thinking behind the behaviour must be explored. For many
people this is their first experience with changing from a conscious thinking
mode and probing a little deeper into the subtleties of the sub-conscious.
Of course, I have come across many people who say things like, “Oh, I’m not
into all that psycho babble, all that emotional stuff is for girls! You just get up
each day, do an honest day’s work and get on with it. You are born, you live
and you die. Some are lucky, some are not and you just take the hand that
you were dealt.”
The exploration goes so much deeper, and for many, it can be an on going
work of art.
By exploring our behavioural patterns, sub-conscious beliefs and/or trying to
unravel childhood conditioning, we begin to practice quiet reflection and
stillness. We become more aware of changes on a deeper level. Perhaps, this
is viewed as a subtle shift in energy or a greater awareness of intuition.
We begin to move away from intellectual information in search of innate
wisdom, higher knowledge or at the very least, a deeper understanding of our
authentic selves. This, for many people, will be their initial introduction to
meditation.
Some people believe that meditation is the physical mind communicating with
the spiritual. Some will explain it as communicating with God. Others may
believe that they are entering a realm of enlightenment or that it may be a
language between conscious and sub-conscious minds.
Personally, I don’t really care about who, how or why. I think whatever feels
comfortable for each individual is fine. Quite often you will find that you
change your perceptions and opinions along the way. People like to make
simple things complicated. Often people like to argue for the sake of thinking
that they are right.
Using visual images and or dialogue during a meditative state creates
communication with either the sub-conscious mind or our higher intelligence.
Who and/or what, is decided by your own belief system. After a short time of
practicing meditation and experiencing the deep sense of peace and well-being
which results, it is almost impossible to not want to go further and deeper into
it. Meditation can quickly become a habit. Many people will go on to use it in
many different ways.
Initially it may just be a relaxation tool. With regular practice, the powerful
changes which occur deep within the spirit become irresistible forces, gently
enticing us to seek deeper or more expansive experiences.
At some point, everyone experiences a deep sense of their own personal
energy. We become intrigued with the nature of that energy understanding that
we have the ability to balance ourselves at a core level. We then know that we
are capable of healing ourselves from within.
All meditations require that your body is relaxed and comfortable and that
your mind is still and internally focused. You do not need to shave your head,
wear robes, chant “om,” burn incense and candles or sit in a lotus position.
If you are doing a healing meditation on yourself, you will probably find that
lying on your bed is the most comfortable place. Mornings are often the best
times as you are less likely to be tired after a nights sleep. As meditation
requires you to become deeply relaxed, you may find that you will fall asleep
too easily if you are tired.
How you use meditation is determined by your intention. The basic principles
are always the same: a relaxed body and internally focused mind. There are
many different uses for meditation and many different experiences. Although
you may have self-healing as your intention, you will find that each meditation
is a new experience.
If you have never meditated before you may feel a little apprehensive or
perhaps unsure that you are doing it right. Rather than go into lengthy
explanations and instructions, which may or may not apply to your
experiences, I will try to describe to you what one of my meditations is like
from an inside viewpoint.
