Reiki Meditation #1

This meditation can bring about relaxation, clairvoyance, increased healing ability, enhanced awareness, greater ability toward visualization, balance your energy and aid you in reaching goals
1.Sit comfortably, either on a cushion with legs folded or on a straight back chair. Keep your spine erect (without force). If you are sitting on a chair do not lean back. Rub your hand together and put your hands on your knees or on another place comfortable for you.
2.Relax and breath slowly, think about Reiki, ask that your Reiki guides join you.
3.Draw the Power symbol in front of you with your whole hand. Visualize how a white or violet light comes out through your fingers as you draw the symbol in the air in front of you.
4.Visualize the symbol in the third eye chakra and recite its name three times. Keep the symbol steadily in your third eye.
5.When you feel that you have meditated enough on this symbol let it float up into a field of light above your head. Return your consciousness to the third eye chakra.
6.Repeat steps 3 to 5 with the Mental/Emotional symbol and the Distance symbol.
7.When you are finished meditating on the three symbols you will be concentrated and full of healing Reiki energy. You can now continue with the final part of the meditation where you can send Reiki to your projects, goals or healing others at a distance.
8.Send Reiki by visualizing or describing the object, goals or person. You can use the method you have learned or the one you feel is most suitable to you.
9.When finished, slowly relax and release all thoughts. Sit quietly for a few minutes and enjoy the peace.

With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked.
It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done.
Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated.
It can even affect our health.
We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate!
But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused

When we practise meditation we need to have a comfortable seat and a good posture.

The most important feature of the posture is to keep our back straight.
To help us do this, if we are sitting on a cushion we make sure that the back of the cushion is slightly higher than the front, inclining our pelvis slightly forward.
It is not necessary at first to sit cross-legged.
You can place your hands one palm inside the other with thumbs touching and pointing up
or
palms up, one on top of the other, thumb and first finger touching

Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness.
There are many different meditation methods.
At the core of meditation is the goal to focus and eventually quiet your mind.
As you progress, you will find that you can meditate anywhere and at any time, accessing an inner calm no matter what's going on around you.
But first, you have to learn to tame your mind

You can meditate at any time of day; some people like to start their day off with meditation, others like to end the day by clearing their mind, and some prefer to find refuge in meditation in the middle of a busy day.
Generally, however, the easiest time to meditate is in the morning, before the day tires your body out and give your mind more to think about.

Don't meditate immediately following a meal, or when you are likely to be hungry. The body's digestive system can be very distracting,

Breathing Meditation

We sit with our eyes partially closed and turn our attention to our breathing.
We breathe naturally, preferably through the nostrils, without attempting to control our breath, and we try to become aware of the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils.
This sensation is our object of meditation.
We should try to concentrate on it to the exclusion of everything else.

At first, our mind will be very busy, and we might even feel that the meditation is making our mind busier; but in reality we are just becoming more aware of how busy our mind actually is.

There will be a great temptation to follow the different thoughts as they arise, but we should resist this and remain focused single-pointedly on the sensation of the breath.
If we discover that our mind has wandered and is following our thoughts, we should immediately return it to the breath.
We should repeat this as many times as necessary until the mind settles on the breath.

COLOUR HEALING MEDITATION

We are not just our physical selves. We are multi-dimensional beings, composed of an Inner Spirit, a mental body, an emotional body, a vital body, and a physical body.

The energy of these bodies becomes progressively subtler from physical to spiritual. Illness begins with disharmony in one of these energy bodies.
If not harmonized, the dis-ease moves outward, affecting the denser bodies, ultimately manifesting as physical illness.
Total healing requires restoring harmony to all of our bodies.
This meditation is designed to cleanse and harmonize your various bodies with the healing energies of colour.

Steps of Colour Healing Meditation

1.Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.

2.Visualize a large ball of radiant Golden light a few inches over your head. Visualize that ball of light slowly descending through your crown, filling your entire being with golden light.

3.Imagine yourself absorbing that light as it nourishes, cleanses & heals your whole being - your Spirit and all of your bodies - dissolving all blocked and toxic energies.

4.Repeat this exercise, visualizing a ball of Red light. Continue through the entire spectrum like this, visualizing a ball of Orange light; Yellow light; Green light; Blue light; Indigo light; and Violet light. Go through the spectrum at whatever pace feels appropriate.

5.Take some time to visualize yourself in a state of perfect, radiant health.

Benefits of this meditation:
·Cleansing, balancing, & healing at all levels... Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Vital, & Physical.
·Develops concentration & visualization abilities.

Before starting meditation, ideally we need to take care of a few things:

- a quiet place (using music is nice for relaxing, but not really meditation), switching off the phone will help.

- make sure you are not too tired, early morning is generally said to be the best time.

- sit comfortable; most people like a cushion under their behind, the room is best not too warm or cold.

- wear loose, comfortable clothing.

- try to create continuity in time and place to become habituated to the circumstances of meditation.

The Body:

- keeping the back straight, in whichever posture you meditate is most essential.

- try to be comfortable and physically relaxed, and avoid moving too much.

- keep the head straight, slightly bent forward, keep the teeth slightly apart, the tip of the tongue against the upper pallet.

- the eyes are best kept half-open (without really looking), but many beginners find that too distracting and close them.

- the shoulders should be relaxed and the hands can be put in one's lap.

- the legs can be in the full lotus (which not many Westerners manage), but also simply crossed. In fact, other positions like sitting on one's knees or on a bench are good as well. If all of these are too difficult, you can also use a chair, but remember to sit only on the front half of the seat, not leaning against the back rest to avoid a bent back, and keep the feet flat on the floor. Keeping the knees warm may help to avoid numbness of the legs.

- try belly-breathing; not breathing with the chest, but from the navel.

- always remember that the posture should enhance meditation, not be an obstacle!

The Buddha even taught one of his disciples who had many problems with his posture to lie down with his back on a bed, and then he quickly made progress; however, most people tend to fall asleep - so it will not be suitable for everyone...

The Mind:

- be relaxed but at the same time awake and attentive: finding your balance here is not easy!

- be a careful observer of your own mind and thoughts; sometimes called the 'little spy inside':
