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 ~
