Try this Brief Guided Meditation

1/29/2019

We've been talking about stress, relaxation and gratitude during the past week or so. Today, I want to share a brief meditation you can try right now that may help you replace stress with the energy of love. Take a moment to check in with yourself. Are you experiencing any stress or tension or discomfort? If so, as you try the moment of guided meditation, see if you can let it go.

Five Minutes or Less: The Love Meditation

(1) Close your eyes, sit fairly still, and breathe deeply and slowly. If you have any rose quartz crystal, hold on to it in one hand. If not, you could diffuse a few drops of rose oil. Continue to focus on slowing down your breathing until you feel yourself relaxing.

(2) When you are calm, lightly tap on your heart space (the center of your chest) and imagine that your heart is filling with a rosy pink light.

(3) Imagine a rosy pink beam of love connecting you to the people in your life, flowing from your heart to theirs.

(4) Next, send that wave of love to the world in general and to any concern you have about what's going on in the world.

(5) Finally, send love to your life, your career, etc. Visualize the love transforming it into what you would like it to be, into what it is meant to be.

On days when you are able to set aside more than five minutes, give each part of the process more time (especially the time you take to relax) , and when you are finished, journal about what the experience was like.

Wishing you peace!

Love, Jeanine

This is definitely something I will do! Roses are my favorite and I have rose oil! Thanks for this great meditation tip.

Oh, neat! I have some, too, and can definitely tell the difference when I use it with the meditation.

I can see me doing that- about 1 day every 100. I have a hard enough time getting everything else done (including my morning prayers) to add this to my routine.
I am glad it works for you, though!

Thanks! I know what you mean about not feeling like you can add even one more thing.

This is so beautiful, and rose quartz is a personal favourite.

I like hygge hermit bit in your profile. :) I love hygge but mildly biased towards Ikigai. :)

I need to add guided meditation to my daily routine, but it's like everything else I try and stick to...my intentions are good, but after a few days I'll start forgetting to do it, much like taking my vitamins! I will give this one a try though. With all the pressure and stress that builds up in my life, I need a good way to let loose of all this in my body. Thanks for the tip.

I totally know what you mean! Sometimes all the things just seems like way too much. But boy, does it help when I can make myself get still enough to do it.
