Welcome to Active Meditation.
In this meditation,
We connect with our Higher Self,
The part of our being that is permanent.
Our process for preparing for meditation begins with closing our eyes to minimize any physical distractions.
We relax our body and mind by removing all expressions and tension from our face.
Next,
We take a few deep breaths,
The exhale being longer than the deep inhale.
And as we breathe,
We visualize or sense our excess energy leaving our body with the exhaled breath.
We note the tense areas of our body and let this tension go.
To continue our preparation for meditation,
We let go of any current annoyances or worries that occupy our mind.
Do this now.
Remove all expressions from the face,
Relax the physical body,
And let go of any immediate concerns.
I will pause while you do this.
We have a physical body,
Emotions,
Desires and urges,
And we have an intellect that thinks,
A mind.
These are instruments of awareness.
Our instruments of awareness are impermanent.
Our Higher Self uses instruments of awareness to work and act in the physical world.
We know we are more than our physical body,
Our emotions,
Desires and our mind.
I am a center of awareness and you are a center of awareness.
Each of us is a focus,
A point of pure intelligence.
This is the part of our being that observes,
Directs,
Guides and controls all our instruments of awareness.
Our physical body,
Our emotions,
Our desires and our intellect.
Our Higher Self is the source that is in contact with and gives direction to all that we have and do.
It is the permanent part of us that is able to say,
I am,
I aware.
This is our Higher Self,
The universal,
Timeless,
Omnipresent part of our being.
The permanent I am that is always in tune with all the elements,
Our life and activities.
Our Higher Self works like a lens.
It focuses energy into our physical body to give our body added vitality.
It will focus love into our emotions and feelings to give us more compassion and greater empathy.
It can offer us perspective to provide support in assessing which preferences are in our best interest and those desires that are not serving us well.
Our Higher Self can focus knowledge into our thoughts to give us greater access to our intuition and understanding.
We are the observer of all the activities of our physical body and emotions.
We are the silent witness of our desires,
Preferences and thoughts.
We truly are a point of awareness through which energy flows to strengthen and move the physical body.
We truly are a point of awareness through which love and understanding flow to transform our emotions and feelings,
Our desires and preferences.
We truly are a point of awareness through which wisdom and intuitive knowing flows to expand our thinking.
We truly are a point of awareness through which joy flows to give us a greater love of life.
In reality,
We are the perceiving presence,
The Higher Self,
Which is the only permanent element in our existence.
Rest in the Higher Self.
What would it mean to develop a working relationship with the Higher Self?
What would it be like if your personality was a true reflection of your Higher Self?
Now that we are aware of our Higher Self,
Our essence,
The real I AM,
We are able to link ourselves with the part of our being that is the source of happiness,
Beauty,
Understanding and love.
We are able to link ourselves with the part of us that uses intuition and insight.
We are able to link ourselves with the part of our being that can project our awareness beyond this room and beyond the limit of the physical senses.
We are able to link ourselves with the part of us that is aware of the intelligence of other forms of life in the ocean of life,
Such as other people and forms of intelligence higher than human.
And we can do this consciously and remember and understand the information that we receive.
Although there sometimes may be discouragement,
Resentment,
Fear or doubt,
Deep down we all know we have the strength,
The skill and the knowledge to do many worthwhile things.
Because we can,
Because we want to and because our Higher Self will help us.
Any worry,
Doubt or unpleasant memory just won't bother us that much anymore.
We will feel calm and more relaxed.
We will be more confident and optimistic,
More in harmony with whatever is best for us.
We will be more secure with the knowledge that we can meet each situation in our life successfully.
Let's return to the regular waking state of thoughts,
Feelings and actions as we re-enter time and space.
We know that our personality has made progress in developing a working relationship with our Higher Self,
The Real I AM.
Take a few deep breaths to help establish the waking state and return fully alert and fully aware of your environment.
