Meditation.
Meditation has been shown to have a positive effect on our immune system.
A study from 2015 found that individuals who practiced mindfulness meditation had increased activity in certain immune cells such as T cells which are important for fighting off infection and cancer.
Additionally,
Other studies that meditation can help reduce stress which is known to weaken the immune system.
In this meditation we explore an energetic process immune system.
To prepare for meditation we leave our body expression put aside any concerns we have.
Consciousness moves us that exists universal,
Timeless,
The present.
We truly are perceiving presence which is the only permanent element in our existence.
Our center of consciousness,
Our higher self,
Lives in the ocean of light and light.
This ocean that surrounds us as a point of awareness seems like a vast benevolent white light.
As it shines it appears to grow brighter and brighter until it shines right through us.
And as the ocean of life flows through us we begin to radiate this light as well until quiet joy arises.
The joy of being alive.
The joy of being provided for by life itself.
And we truly comprehend that this ocean of light and life is the true universal source for all of us.
Rest in this ocean of light and life.
One of the essential strengths that we need in life is the ability to survive whatever challenges we face.
We need the confidence to cope with various problems.
We need the courage to face dangerous problems.
We need strong faith in our abilities to complete our tasks.
We need hope to sustain our goals.
And we need a healthy body to do all this.
The same life energy that helps us resist challenges to our dignity and competence is also the power to keep our immune mechanism operating at maximum efficiency.
A force we use to reject insults is the same power that also repels viruses and harmful bacteria.
The same mechanism we have for worthwhile experiences also keeps our body fuel and healthy and enables our body to protect itself from illness of any kind.
Let's practice.
Tune in again to the ocean of light and life,
Our source.
As we sense this light energy flowing down around and through us,
We review our past,
Thinking about how benevolent forces and people have touched our life many times,
Assisting us in our long development of mature knowledge and skills.
This benevolent power,
Our source,
Is flowing through us now.
This energy is always with us to sustain our life and to maintain our ability to survive all challenges,
Including physical illnesses.
Consider how many times we have sensed this power in our life.
We may have experienced it as moments of great joy or a sense of triumph and personal worth.
Recall a time when you experienced great joy.
I'll be quiet while you do this.
As you remember this time of great joy,
Feel the energy of source flowing through you,
Energizing the moment.
We may have memories of having successfully endured some great challenge or fulfilled some difficult tasks.
We can recognize the power and influence of our higher self once we survived our worst fears,
Our resentments,
And deepest discouragement.
Recall a difficult time in your life and how you managed to get through it.
I'll be silent.
See or feel the power of the ocean of light and life flow through your higher self into this situation.
Feel the energy of source flowing through you,
Helping and guiding you through the circumstances.
Do this now.
Life is basically good and its goodness with the help of our higher self and the energy of source sustains us through the tough parts.
Think of your possible future and the things you want to do.
Think of the people you want to help.
Consider what you still want to achieve,
The accomplishments you can produce,
And how we all need a healthy body to do these things.
I'll be quiet for a moment.
Now tune in again to the ocean of light.
Allow yourself to sense that this light is entering every cell in your body.
Our immune structure in our physical body is the system that protects us from foreign invaders,
From viruses and bacteria,
And other issues that compromise the health of our cells.
It is called our lymphatic system.
In a symbolic manner we can visualize the lymphatic system as an intricate system of transport tunnels connecting lymph stations or lymph nodes all throughout your body.
If the system becomes stagnant your immune mechanism will not be operating at its optimum level.
It will be hampered in repairing and removing weak and unhealthy cells.
Visualize the light energy from the ocean of light and life moving through all of your cells into this lymphatic system,
Moving through all the tunnels,
Cleansing them as it moves through them,
Moving from the tunnels into the lymph nodes,
Cleansing them and cleaning them.
See this cleansing white energy moving through this system that removes waste and damaged cells from your body.
I'll be silent.
Do this now.
I am more than capable of taking care of myself and being useful to others.
I have a role to play in this world and I am proud to do so.
I can affirm that life has its good aspects and I am happy to participate in it and I need a healthy body to do this.
When dangerous forces are present I will be strong.
I may have doubts but I will not let them interfere with my physical health.
I may have to cope with many problems but I will find a way to survive both physical and psychological threats.
When I feel discouraged I will have enough wit and love of life to cope with it.
When illness is a possibility I will strengthen my resistance to it.
I will persevere.
I am a survivor in body and mind.
I am a winner in the major struggles of life.
It's time to return to our regular state of thoughts,
Feelings and actions.
To time and space.
Thankful for the opportunity to receive a fresh blessing from the ocean light and life.
To receive a blessing from our Source.
Take a few deep breaths to establish the waking state and as we do this we know that we have made significant progress in developing a working relationship with our higher self.
I am I am.
