Bubble of Protection Meditation Here's a simple safety and protection meditation. This visualization can be used around people, pets, homes, cars, airplanes, our world and around anything you want to protect. After doing this a few times, you will not need the candles. You will be able to visualize the ball of white light at any time and any place. If you wish to protect a loved one and you have a photo of them, place it between the candles for the meditation. (Don't let it catch fire!) You may cast a circle if you like, but it is not necessary. Light white candles for protection. Begin the meditation: Sit down and get comfortable. Relax. Breathe slow and deep. Let all tension flow into the earth. Feel calm and peaceful. You are completely relaxed. Now visualize a beautiful white light all around you, like a bubble. It shimmers and sparkles. Now make it stronger, and then make it shine brighter. Make it grow until it fills the room you are in. Fill the bubble with love. Know that it will protect you where ever you go. To protect a loved one: Now picture your loved one. See a glowing light all around them. It is just like the bubble you are in. It glows with safety and protection. Make it stronger, bigger, brighter. Visualize this as long as you like. When you are done, wish your loved one well and know that they are safe. Now prepare to end the meditation. Feel your circle of light bring you back to the present moment and the room you are in. Take a deep breath and stretch for a moment before you get up. Let the candles burn as long as you like, then snuff them out. You may light them at any time you wish to strengthen the visualization and protection
	BREATHE Our basic state is one of purity, bliss, and awareness. When you were a baby you were in this virginal, joyous condition. The events of your life have caused you to add layers of negativity around this holy state to such a degree that now you suffer more and more and experience the blessed and immaculate in your life far too rarely. You need to add nothing to know the ecstasy that is your birthright. What will let this eternal moment of infinite joy reoccur is the removal of the obstacles to your pure energy connection. The first step in recovering your perfection is to melt away all your tension. Relax. Witness and feel your breath as it comes and goes. With every exhale, send out a characteristic that has caused you to be blind to your light. With every inhale, bring into your being a divine attribute and feel yourself being purified. Send the energy throughout your body, mind, and emotions. Exhale fear, inhale courage. Exhale cold-heartedness, inhale compassion. Exhale ignorance, inhale wisdom. Exhale egoism, inhale humility. Exhale nervousness, inhale tranquility. Exhale hate, inhale love. Exhale suffering, inhale peace. And on and on and on. Continue until you have nothing else blocking your glory. At the right time, your holy moment arrives. Then, even your affirmations are unnecessary. The silence that transcends all names and forms fills you as you realize your oneness with the source of all breath. Your consciousness fills the universe and you had simply forgotten this, your eternal reality. You awaken from the dream and live happily ever after.
Roses Meditation When was the last time you stopped and really looked at the perfection of a rose? I am sure the smell of a fresh rose brings back fond memories of the past for you... the person who gave you your first rose... the person who wore the rose oil perfume...the neighbor with the beautifully manicured garden. For me, the rose is representational of the heart chakra (center of your chest) If you close your eyes and visualize a pink rosebud at your heart chakra.. with each breath it begins to blossom a bit more and with each breath you become more open to the beauty within and around you... also open to experience perfect love. If you are in a relationship this visualization works particularly well sitting opposite eachother and breathing in unison. Continue the meditation until your flower has opened completely and you feel a sense of calm, happiness and peace. Treat yourself... buy yourself roses - and remind yourself how much you love YOU!	mailto:castledwlr@aol.com
	The Blue Sky Meditation This is a very peaceful meditation technique that many people find helps relieve stress and worry in their everyday lives. To practice this technique, begin by closing your eyes and imagining a beautiful and cloudless blue sky, that stretches on forever in every direction. Imagine that you are sitting in the middle of this blue sky, and as you sit there, your body becomes lighter and lighter. After a few minutes, feel that you actually become so light that you float up into the beautiful blue sky. Now just feel that you are floating peacefully in the beautiful blue sky. All of your cares and worries have disappeared, and you feel ever lighter and happier. The blue sky stretches on endlessly around you, and you feel that you become so light and free that you and the sky merge and become one. There is no longer any separation between you and the blue sky. Your body and mind have merged with the endless light, peace and happiness of the blue sky. If you can, try to completely let go, and enjoy the feeling of oneness and peace. When you finish your meditation open your eyes. The feelings of peace and happiness that you experienced while you were meditating will stay with you as continue on with your day.
