The Quiet Solitude
*Note* Meditations are mind and mood altering exercises, and will
have more impact, and promote better visualization if the meditations
are accompanied by music. It is therefore recommended that this
meditation be accompanied by: *Falling You*
The Quiet Solitude
Someone once told me that sometimes, we need a negative energy
shakeup in order to manifest something more positive. I believe we
have all gone through more than enough negativity in one lifetime,
and though I want so badly to believe that negative upheaval has
passed, I just don't think it has been enough yet, which is very
unfortunate. If enough people throughout the world are bent on
manifesting positive change, it WILL happen.
I started to think about what this could mean, and what came to me
was healing desperately NEEDS to take place. This meditation isn't
really being written to give my personal political views, nor is it
written to show any kind of favoritism, or point the finger at who is
worse. What it IS meant to do is cause enough of us out here to take
a few moments, sit back, and really re-evaluate LIFE. So many are
afraid to LIVE that they would willingly give their very lives away
to this cause or that.
This meditation has been written with the intention of making a
difference. It was written in order to bring about a much needed
POSITIVE change, and to help assist a major energy flow to attempt to
heal where healing is needed so badly. I would like to ask you who
are participating in this meditation, that each time you do this,
please put aside ALL your personal feelings, your political beliefs,
and spiritual beliefs as well, and simply concentrate on healing ALL
living beings. Let your new personal mantra for life be "Dare To
LIVE". In my opinion, our LIVES are a gift. We fly in the face of all
we hold dear and holy to ourselves if we simply throw away our lives.
Life is a gift, an experience. Life is what you make it.
Out of the millions of egg cells within your mother, yours was the
one chosen for life in the NOW, just as out of the millions upon
millions of sperm cells from your father, one was chosen that helped
make you. You are a miracle. A living, breathing miracle. Everything
living and breathing is a miracle, and was chosen as a unique
addition to this world, in this Universe, so respect and love each
and every living being. Life is not guaranteed to you, day after day,
so each day should be seen as miraculous, and appreciated with as
much joy and happiness as is possible. There is no guarantee that
each day will be great, but how it turns out is ultimately determined
by YOU. Life starts with you. Healing starts with you. Peace starts
with you. So let's manifest it.
Find somewhere to sit or lie quietly - somewhere in which you can get
comfortable, where you will not be disturbed. Somewhere in which you
feel safe, and secure. A place of peace and tranquility. Once you
have found your comfortable place, sit or lie quietly, with your eyes
closed. It is suggested that you take your time with this meditation,
and do not be in any hurry to rush through the steps. Try to set
aside a time frame of about an hour to fully appreciate the benefits
of this exercise. Now allow yourself to begin to relax. Let your mind
drift and wander where it chooses. Any thoughts or feelings that come
of this period of quiet contemplation, allow them to drift to the
forefront of consciousness. Acknowledge their presence, but do not
interact. Now is not the time to deal with any outside influences or
drama. Let these go. Envision a huge garbage bin with the lid off,
and yourself allowing any unwanted/unneeded/unnecessary thoughts and
feelings to make their way into this bin - you can deal with them at
another time.
Now allow yourself to reflect on your body. Begin to focus on
breathing and your heartbeat. Think about getting the two to merge
and become one. You can do this by taking a deep breath, eyes closed
of course, and inhale slowly to the count of 4, and exhale to the
count of 8. While inhaling, visualize breathing in cleansing energies
from around you .Feel each breath cleansing your body, and flowing
through your veins. Feel lymph being released, and traveling all
throughout the circulatory system .Now exhale, and see all
exhalations in the form of blackness. Visualize this as pollution
being removed from your entire body. See this as your own personal
cleansing, which you will need to do before you can continue with the
rest of this meditation. Take as long as you feel is necessary to
complete this step.
After breathing deeply in this manner for roughly 5 minutes, begin to
hold the inhalations for a longer time - count to 20, and then
exhale .Really feel the lymph clearing out your system. See this as a
means of effectively taking out the garbage that has accumulated
within every part of your body, which has been held prisoner even
inside every cell within you. After having done this 6 times, begin
the rhythmic breathing again to the count of 4/8, inhaling to the
count of 4, and exhaling to the count of 8. At this point, your
breathing and your heart rate should be in sync with one another.
Contemplate how relaxed your body and mind has become. Reflect on
your sense of well-being for a few moments. Allow the stresses of the
day to melt away from you and dissipate. Now reflect on the state the
world, and its population, is currently in. Reflect upon the state
that life is currently in. Reflect on ALL living beings within this
world, regardless of their form. Life is a gift, and as such, should
be treated as the single most precious thing in the Universe. Life was
given, as most believe, by a Divine source, and as such, should not
be taken by any BUT that same Divine source. The Divine do not need
human interaction in order to carry out His/Her/Their wishes, and if
They did, then "divine" is not a title which accurately describes
Them.
Visualize all living beings as existing within the pulsating energy
of deep violet. Deep violet is the pulsating energy, or bloodstream
of the Universe. Tap into the violet consciousness. Feel and
experience their living energies all around you, reaching out to you.
Feel them as being choked, and unable to move and flow uninhibited as
they should. See all life as being surrounded and stagnated by a
thick, black, choking cloud, which has completely surrounded the
entire world, and is extending outwards all the time. The black cloud
is choking the very life out of all living beings. It chokes out the
light, the breath. Children of the now and of the future have
literally nothing to look forward to. For many, they simply exist,
day in, and day out. Starvation, pollution, and death loom all around
them. Become Divine. FEEL their pain and suffering as your
own. BREATHE LIFE back into them.
Become Divine. See the earth as your child, your creation. As the
Divine, take your creation to yourself, and cradle it like a mother
does with her baby. Nurture and love it. Enter the quiet solitude
with your child. Breathe deeply. Upon exhaling, visualize all the
darkness surrounding your child, and think about getting rid of it.
Inhale, and as you do so, absorb the blackness, the darkness, the
destruction inhabiting and surrounding your child. You are Divine.
Nothing is impossible to you. Before I continue on, I want all who
are reading this to take this mantra into consideration. Repeat it
often. The point of repeating a mantra time and time again, is to
bring about change - to cause healing to come about. When you repeat
something 3 times a day for a month, it becomes habit. I got the
basic idea for this mantra based on a quote from Helen Keller, which
says:
" I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but
still I can do something.And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the
something that I can do"..
~ Helen Keller
My personal mantra for this meditation is as follows:
*Change begins with One. Healing begins with One. I am One who
desires change. I am One who desires healing. I am One who brings
change. I am One who brings healing. I share this change positively
with the world to manifest healing. I share this healing positively
with the world to manifest change. Healing begins with me. Change
begins with me.*
Be the World Mother or Father. Take the world into your arms, and
visualize a strong, cleansing wind, blowing away all harm, all hatred
and destruction surrounding the world. Make the wind stronger, more
violent. The forceful energy from this mighty wind is needed in order
to clear out the deepest blackness. See it as a cancer that consumes
everything, and MUST be purged. Visualize the hatred as swirling,
violent red and black fiery clouds. Visualize all acts of terror as
deep red, as dark, and deep, and angry a red as dead blood, which has
been shed, and cries out for retribution.
See hunger as deep brown, muddy and ugly. All these mixed together
make an angry black, dense and virtually impenetrable cloudbank
surrounding the earth, your child. Make the wind blow all this away,
scatter it into millions of tiny pieces, as shards of broken glass,
and then burn it into fine dust with the force of the divine wind,
and is blown to the farthest reaches of the Universe. And, as this is
taking place, surround the world with deep purple healing energy.
Feel it permeating into everything, and everyone. Allow it to soak
in, and totally cover all life, from simple bacterium, to plants,
animals, people, and other life. Surround your creation with all the
love the Universe has contained within itself, and shower it on all
of creation.
Restore peace, love, and harmony on your creation, so that all may
live in relative comfort, each according to whatever way best suits
them. The earth is plentiful, and provides enough for all. Let there
be abundance in every land. Visualize peace in the shade of vibrating
deep purple, and love/harmony in the shade of rose pink, and fuse
these shades of energy to the world, and all inhabitants. Let the
abundance of peace fill the hearts of all life. Visualize golden
citrine yellow surrounding the world, acting as a warm, soothing
light in all the previously darkened places - whether dark from the
absence of physical light, and/or dark due to the absence of peace,
harmony, and love. Allow peace to follow. Let peace follow.
Blessings and abundance to all...
Silver ~
