Welcome to active meditation.
There is some evidence to suggest that meditation may have beneficial effects on our DNA.
A study from 2015 found that individuals who practiced a mindfulness meditation had increased activity in an enzyme called telomerase,
Which helps to protect and repair telomeres,
The protective ends of chromosomes.
This study also found that meditation may slow down the aging process.
Additionally,
Other studies have shown that meditation can help reduce stress and inflammation,
Both of which are linked to DNA damage.
In this meditation,
We explore a practice to potentially help renew and revitalize our DNA.
As we move through your process preparing for meditation,
Relax your body and mind.
Relax all your face muscles.
As we settle down,
We acknowledge we have a body.
We can control it and relax our body at will.
We are not the body.
We have emotions and we can select the feeling and reaction that we want and control our emotions.
We are not our emotions.
We also have desires and urges that we direct.
We are not them either.
And we have an intellect.
We use it for thinking.
We are more.
All of these are instruments for communication.
Part of our personality we use to act within the physical plane.
What are we then?
We are centers of consciousness,
Points of awareness.
This is the universal,
Timeless,
And omnipresent part of our being that is in tune with all the elements of our life and affairs.
We are the observer,
The perceiving presence,
Which is the only permanent element in our existence.
Our center of consciousness lives in the ocean of light and life.
This is the ocean that surrounds us as a point of awareness.
It seems like a vast,
Benevolent white light.
And as it shines,
It appears to grow brighter and brighter until it shines right through us.
And as it flows right through us,
We radiate this light as well.
Until quiet joy arises.
The joy of being alive.
The joy of being provided for by life itself.
We truly comprehend that this ocean of light and life is the true universal source for all of us.
Rest in the energy of the ocean of light and life for a few moments.
Many factors in our life can interfere with our connection to the divine.
Illusions and fantasies can misdirect us.
Strong emotions can distract us.
Physical sensations can overwhelm us.
However,
The great spiritual masters have all declared that ultimately nothing can separate us from the love of God,
From our Source.
When we need help building or restoring our connection to the divine,
We draw on the ancient principle,
As above,
So below.
The healing message of this principle is that the above is our seed of perfection.
The below is our potential for a perfect manifestation of the divine seed above.
However,
The best seed may never germinate.
And if it does,
It will need our help to bring forth the desired results.
So,
Each of us serves the role of a good gardener,
Nurturing our divine seed and our divine potential for full manifestation.
If you are concerned that your DNA may be damaged or simply may not be reflecting its full potential,
The following technique may assist you in restoring your DNA to its full capacity.
Let's practice.
Tune in again to the ocean of light and life,
Our Source.
See and feel the energy of Spirit as it appears above your head.
This white light slowly moves down,
Through and around your head as divine light.
It enters your mind.
Experience this light in your head,
In your mind.
Let this same light enter your mind and through your chest,
Into your heart.
Divine love enters your emotions.
Hold this light and love in your heart for a few moments.
Permit this light now to flow and through your physical body,
Every cell in your body.
In a symbolic manner,
You can visualize this energy moving into your DNA to revitalize and potentially repair its divinely designed form and function.
As the exact image of our genetic code is too complicated to visualize accurately,
We can envision our DNA as a simple picture made of pieces of partially completed puzzle that will represent our DNA.
This puzzle is not completed.
This image is a small flag-shaped rectangle.
In its center is a circle.
And we can see that the circle in the middle of the rectangle has been damaged.
It is bent.
Its circumference is no longer smooth,
Twisted.
This entire picture is composed of pieces of a standard puzzle.
Some pieces are missing.
Some pieces are positioned in the wrong.
Some pieces appear soiled or stained and darkened.
Our purpose in this exercise is to repair this puzzle representing our DNA that has been corrupted or perhaps damaged.
We will project our intention to gradually perform these repairs.
We can also move our hands to facilitate this process if it helps.
Now,
See or feel the divine light entering the image of the damaged circle.
As the light energy moves in,
The circle begins to return to its perfect shape.
Watch this now as the circle returns to its original shape,
Responding to the light energy.
As the light fills the circle,
It becomes a bright disk.
And as this circle becomes brighter and brighter,
It begins to grow into the shape of a three-dimensional sphere,
A ball of bright light.
In addition,
This sphere of light may begin to make sound,
To hum,
Produce soft music.
It may even seem to pulsate.
Spend a few moments monitoring the divine light energy as it enters and rejuvenates the circle.
Next,
Let's move the odd pieces,
The pieces that are in the wrong places or out of alignment to their correct position.
Do this now.
Move all of the out of alignment pieces and relocate the pieces to their correct position.
As the pieces move into alignment,
You may observe bright pink and blue colors and perhaps other colors can be seen again.
Notice that as the colors become brighter and brighter,
The dark vapor of the contamination leaves the picture.
Imagine this occurring now.
The pink and blue colors return brighter and brighter as the dark contamination evaporates.
Now,
Spend a few moments observing the repaired and refurbished picture of the puzzle and the circle within it,
Repeating each process if necessary with the conviction that we have succeeded in making repairs to our DNA.
The image of this picture will improve over time with repetition and strong intention.
Gradual improvement over time is the sign that rejuvenation is in progress and successful.
Let's review how we ponder on that.
Repair the circumference of the circle.
Light fills the circle.
It becomes bright light.
The sphere of light may make a sound,
A hum,
Soft music.
Move pieces that are in the wrong places or out of alignment to their correct position.
Observe the bright pink and blue colors,
Perhaps other colors.
Notice that as the colors become brighter,
The darkness of the contamination leaves.
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 of light and life.
To receive a blessing from our Source,
From the Divine.
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.
