Meditation allows us to open up to healing and to recover from stress by relaxing completely. Meditation is a bit like sleeping but we are usually aware.  

  • You do not have to take a long time to meditate but set aside a time when you will not be disturbed, a few minutes at first but as you become more comfortable you can go longer.
  • If you like you can light a candle, but ensure it is in a safe place and listen to soft music.
  • There is no particular way to sit, but to be relaxed is very important. A comfortable chair with your back straight and legs not crossed is OK
  • Place your hands on your thighs, open, up or down whichever is most comfortable, but as relaxed as possible.
  • At first your mind will wander on the day's anxieties, but try to focus on a particular thing. Often your breathing is an easy thing to choose.
  • Let your breathing become slow and relaxed, sometimes counting in and out evenly will allow you to focus better. 
  • If you are able to visualise things easily, imagine a healing light flowing down from above and entering your body, or that you are going on a walk noticing all the Nature around you.
  • with experience you will feel your thoughts slow quicker, you will not need to focus so hard, and you may begin to experience feelings of peace and harmony. Ultimately you may go to places, see and feel various things.
  • In time you may find you can meditate while doing your work or the ironing, a job that need's meditation if any thing does!

You will not feel anything unusual unless you wish to do so, you can remember things with more clarity, think about solutions to problems. As everyone is different it is not possible to generalise about your meditations.

Spiritualists would find that this is the easiest time to attune to spirit, and the Reiki practitioner to attune to the Universal Life Energy. What you see will be individual to you, the same as your dreams are.

If you have difficulties Your local Spiritualist Church will be able to help, often the Baia Faith offer free meditation or relaxation sessions locally.
