My intention here is to give a meditation that integrates some very positive elements of spirituality. Any complete spiritual practice however will also deal with the negative aspects of the spiritual. In other words we all have negative characteristics, it is vital that we know what this negativity is, become aware of it and gain mastery and control over it. This is a process of dealing with the shadow and is part of the edict: Know thyself. This is a lifelong practice and requires that we are very honest with ourselves and our faults. Having said that developing positive intention and increasing the positivity that we have has a dramatic effect on our experiences and our feelings. Put another way it is the way to "feel good".

The above image embodies the energies that are wished to create in oneself during this meditation. It can be used as a visual aid. I've tried to keep the meditation as simple and short as possible so it's easy and quick to do. You can spend as much or as little time on each section of the meditation as you wish. Don't worry if you can't feel anything with the different parts. The mental action and intention of doing it has a powerful effect.

The meditation:

A sphere of white light surrounds your aura. (such as in the picture).

Youraura is full of pinkish white light, all negativity is cleared out of your aura and it is filled with this colour (If you don't like pink use the color that you associate with love.) This is the color of love filling your aura and dispensing all negative energy

Each chakra in your body is clear, vibrant and balanced in it's correct color.

Your body is full of health, vitality and beauty. Take time to imagine this.

Concentrate on your heart chakra, a beautiful green color at the centre of your chest.

You are full of love and you send that love to all beings in the world. Your love entering each heart of every soul on earth.

You are full of compassion and you send your compassion to every living being.

You send love and forgiveness to every being who has wronged you in any way and release them to the universe.

You send Peace and Happiness to all on Earth. Imagine the peace and happiness filling the whole world.

You send gratitude to the divine, the universe or any deity you adore, for all the blessings you have in your life.

Now the color in your aura glows with opalescent beauty and light.

Bliss.

Namaste.
