Conversely, I also rest better and more deeply, and feel better next morning, if I pray and give thanks before falling asleep at night.

Try reading this meditation to yourself morning and evening for a week, and see if you notice any difference in the way you feel and react to your day.

Try also reading it aloud, to yourself or to someone else, and notice how you feel.

This can be an especially good affirmation if you record it in your own voice. Leave the tape player on the nightstand, so can can just push “play” without having to totally wake up– while you’re still in that in-between-wakefulness-and-sleep mode.

I give my consent, all of me, to go with my higher self today: where it takes me, and all it leads me to do.

I realize that my current reality is meant to be.

Right Here.

Right Now.

It is God in God’s highest form, the best for this planet, and for me– this life, this evolution.

Thank you, Universe. I consent, and I go with this flow of amazing and wondrous energy, created specifically to carry me on this journey… the destination and the journey being One.

Everywhere I AM is sacred, and I release the tired, negative limitations of my history. I go forth in gratitude and realization of the perfection that always IS, and I get on with Life.

I am in the realization that desire is in me to tell me where to go.

De-Sire, of God, tells me what I’m good at, what I’m here for, where I belong.

Desire, lived in healthy ways, leads me to the best life I can imagine, and then takes me beyond even that.

Onward and upward, following my heart teaches me, and leads me exactly where the Universe has built a place for me; and I live inside that place all day each day, all night each night, all-ways.

I belong here.

I am a cell in the body of God, and my ego stays in service of my highest guidance each moment; it keeps me in synchronicity, for there is no friction in the flow of God. All is One.

I live in Love, and Love nourishes me, even beyond my awareness to ask.

I feel gratitude to the Universe: for my being designed this way, for bringing me synchronicity,

and love,

and the abundance of my purpose here– to constantly express mySelf, my higher Self in the driver’s seat.

In doing this, I manifest my life purpose here and now, and fully in-joy each moment: the joy of being in the right place at the right time, and reaping the fullest benefits.

Thank God, I AM here.

If you feel like you need help or instruction to meditate, you can usually find meditation teachers local to your area. Ask around for a good referral, or search online.

Also, check for local yoga classes. Many times, a short meditation is used as part of a “cool-down” at the end of class.

Visualize a lone cloud on a hill, floating effortlessly through space and time. Imagine you are that cloud and with every inhale and exhale, you are blowing yourself gracefully across the heavens, forgetting all sorrow, pain and worry of the hills below…

The art of meditation takes many forms and titles. Meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years mainly in eastern religious traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Other religions that have used forms of meditation include Janism, Sikhism, New Age, Taoism and Islam. Christianity and Judaism have forms of meditation as well that are very different from eastern religions but still create relaxation and peace in the body.

Techniques are used not only for spiritual purposes, but also health purposes such as yoga meditation and secular meditation which fight against anxiety, stress and chronic physical pain.

By clearing the mind, relaxing the muscles and focusing on deep breathing, circulation, posture and concentration are improved. Yoga is deeply tied to eastern religions and its goal is to improve health and well-being and reaching Moksha which is the release from the cycle of life, death and rebirth and all the suffering attached to it.

There are many different types of meditation techniques including: Mantra, Trakata, Chakra, Vispanna, Raj Yoga, Zazen, and Nada Yoga. All of them include focusing on breathing, entering into an alternate state of consciousness and focusing on a strong sense of self.

Beyond being conscious of one’s breathing, there is a wide variety of techniques that help with reaching the developmental goal that the person is aiming for which include:

• Upward which acts to reverse the pull of gravity on the consciousness by lifting the consciousness out of the body
• Mind-centered in which the mind is a blank slate
• Monastic which involves exploring death’s mystery
• Observer where you watch your thoughts and emotions as they happen from an outside perspective
• Passive where the mind makes no judgment similar to daydreaming or sleep
• Fantasy-based where the person goes to an alternate place in his/her mind
• Trance which included rhythmic chanting
• Denial or Dualistic where divisions in the universe are realized and questioned
• Religious where one thinks about an inspiring religious leader

Transcendental Meditation was introduced in 1957 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, disciple of the Indian spiritual leader, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati. Yogi developed programs and initiatives to promote transcendental meditation and spent time touring the world teaching what he had learned.

The technique involves sitting with one’s eyes closed for twenty minutes, twice a day and not contemplating but setting up a framework for the mind to move inwardly instead of being flooded with different ideas and feelings.

Music is a tool that is not only used for entertainment but for healing as well. Certain tones and chords can stimulate brainwaves, produce deep relaxation, increase the ability to learn, relieve stress, and even heal the body as a result of listening and feeling the music.

Almost everyone has experienced deep feelings from a song a favorite artist plays or an experience at a concert.

Music can increase self-growth and fulfillment in certain areas of one’s life. Meditation music is one of many forms of music that can accomplish this. It acts to correspond with meditation practices to promote self awareness and relaxation as well as deep connection. It is also used in spas during massages to help the patient relax fully.
