Creating Shangri-La

In this meditation, we visualize the kind of world we would like to live in. By imagining this we are creating the cause for this to exist. If many people visualize the same ideal then the conditions come together to actually realize this "dream".

Transcript

Begin your meditation.

Sit comfortably and be prepared to make a most marvellous movie with your imagination.

So in order to create this vision of the perfect world,

First of all we need to let go of our current world.

So with this we start at our heart with that wonderful radiant orb of light that empowers us,

Is the ignition for everything we create.

And expand that light outwards throughout your whole body.

As you do so,

Everything inside you melts,

Your flesh,

Your blood,

Your bones,

Your organs.

You are just a being of light.

And then expand outwards until the room or the place where you are seated melts into light as well and you merge with that light.

And keep doing this outward,

Outward,

Around your place where you live,

Your town or village or city,

Into the sky and beyond,

Throughout your country,

Beyond the sea.

Until the whole world has melted into light,

Blissful,

Peaceful light.

Out into space and just let your mind rest in this light,

Feeling very peaceful.

And start to imagine the most beautiful,

Perfect world to live in,

Where the climate is temperate and comfortable,

Where the sun shines and there is no need for sunscreen.

Where the rain is warm and gentle,

Where there are forests and jungles,

Where all the beings that live there find food and live peacefully.

And start to build a picture of where people live,

What kinds of dwellings.

Is there colour?

Is there greenery?

Are there flowers?

And how are the people relating to each other?

Just see everything with a pure view,

Create it in your mind.

Kindness,

Love,

Compassion,

Patience,

Everyone mindful,

Accepting,

No prejudices,

No violence.

What we can imagine,

We can create.

So create it now and hold it in your mind very vividly and know that it will inform you in your daily life.
