1. Guided Healing Meditation, Laughter and Prayer
Prayer to begin
With peace and love I walk today
Content to
follow in Your ways.
Health and strength abide in me
One in hand and heart
with Thee.
The energizing effects of meditation, laughter and prayer
harmonize every aspect of our being - body, mind, heart, soul, spirit. Following are these 3 holistic methods of healing ourselves,
and by multiplication, our world-wide family.
Guided
Meditation
Preparation: Recline in a chair, hands
resting in your lap, or lie on your back in a deep relaxation pose - arms down
and slightly away from your sides, legs slightly apart. Close your
eyes.
Begin even and regular breathing: breathe in 2 counts; breathe out
2 counts; breathe in 2 counts and continue this pattern throughout the
meditation.
Now visualize yourself walking along a warm stretch of beach
next to a peaceful tropical ocean. The sun is shining bright over the ocean
halfway up toward the noon zenith. As you walk along, feel the warm squishy sand
massaging the soles of your feet. Your arms are swinging at your sides - as your
left foot steps forward, your right arm swings forward and vice versa.
You are walking into a mild wind that caresses your face, neck, torso
and arms. Looking toward the horizon on the far stretch of beach you see a few
friends calling you to join them.
You feel warmth in your body and happy
anticipation in your thoughts. As you reach your friends, all embrace in a group
hug, glad to feel the warmth and comfort of each other's love. You all sit in a
large circle sharing stories, everyone taking turns, each feeling valued and
loved. All one of the parts and part of the One.
Now, once again
notice the regular patterns of your breathing, like waves lapping in and out at
the shore. Come back to your everyday self, open your eyes, stretch out,
refreshed, renewed.
You could record this guided meditation in your
own voice for later listening while relaxing.
Laughter
I have found when I laugh I let go
of tension in my mind and body. Attitudes, preconceptions, plans for action or
non-action, grudges, blame, everything dissipates during the period of laughing.
In those moments of release all holds melt down into a large cauldron of harmony
- much as raw ingredients dropped into a cooking pot and simmered become
nourishing soup. Food for thought!
Healing
Prayer
Lord, may all that I can be
Align with what is
Thee.
May your love and light
Shine always in my life.

2. Meditation Can Help Us Be Healers
We are all meant to be healers for one another, by maintaining positive
attitudes and their subsequent productive thoughts and actions; by realigning
our outer world with the atomic and unseen harmonious forces supporting us.
Active healers may be earning their livelihood with their gifts.
Or, active healers may be donating their gifts in their spare time.
And
whether as an active healer, or a silent healer, we all need to lead a balanced
life to preserve and nurture the vehicle of our body-mind, while we still carry
a body-mind, and that includes making time for positive personal growth through
prayer, meditation, and being friendly and kind.
We do not even have to
announce ourselves as healers when we live lovingly in this world, we are
spontaneously transmitting healing energy. In our natural inborn harmony we are
aligned with the ecstatic, intelligent force guiding and energizing every atom
of existence, every atom making up every molecule, and combination of elements
in the substance of our universe.
We come to earth to share our special
gifts, and receive the special gifts of others. And by the intertwining of our
lives, we all benefit and grow in harmony, opening wide for each other the
doorways to knowledge of the One Self residing in all.
In deep meditation
we draw fresh energy to and through us. The more we meditate with love in our
hearts the brighter our beacons of healing energy shine forth: our light, our
enlightenment gracing all.
