A Meditation For A Great Day
The Meditation Newsletter
Try to see that it is already
a great day before you do this meditation or any other. Practices
like this are just a way to remind yourself of what a wonderful
gift is the day and the things it brings. This one uses affirmations,
much like the Meditation on Loving Kindness I presented in an
earlier issue of the newsletter.
Find a quiet place, then sit
comfortably and relax. Breath deeply through your nose, let your
eyes begin to close, and when your mind quiets a bit, start repeating
the following. You can do so aloud if it helps, but in your mind
is fine too.
May I see the beauty around
me today...
May I welcome each moment for
the lessons it offers...
May I find common ground with
everyone I meet...
May I act from my deepest and
truest self...
May I see that I am at home
in each place and moment...
Try to sense the beauty around
you as you repeat these affirmations, even if your eyes are closed.
Imagine yourself facing anything you encounter as a priceless
and welcome lesson. See the goodness in each person that comes
to mind. Let your surface "personality" and it's reactions
fall away. Recognize that home is a state of mind, and a choice.
Don't try too hard to
do these things. Just repeat the affirmations and as thoughts
or images arise guide them in these directions. Continue in this
way for fifteen or twenty minutes. In general, meditations like
these work best if they are used regularly for a period of several
weeks. This gives the affirmations time to sink in and affect
your consciousness.
Also, although you start with
this method as a meditation, once you can easily recall and recite
the words, you can use them as an exercise while driving or going
about your day.
I've found that this kind of
meditation works well with meditation CDs or MP3 recordings.
The brainwave entrainment effect makes it easy to slip into a
meditative state without so much attention given to your breathing.
That makes it easier to concentrate on the repetitions of the
affirmations.

Steve's Recommendation:
The
Meditation Program
Perhaps one of the most cutting-edge brainwave tools available
today, the eight levels of this program take you from the beginner
level (mid-Alpha) right through to super-advanced (mid-Delta).
If you get the MP3 downloads (CDs are available too) you
might want to skip the "Registration Backup Service,"
which covers you if you lose the files, and just put an extra
copy somewhere in your computer. But either way, this is one
of the best products I have used. - Steve
