This meditation is designed to help you deal with a difficult emotion.
We're going to start today by focusing in on the difficult emotion that you're experiencing.
Scan the area in or around your body where you're currently feeling that difficult emotion.
You might notice,
Where are you feeling that emotion?
Is it in the head,
The heart,
The belly,
The hands,
The feet?
Once you find that emotion,
Go ahead and place your hand on that area of the body.
Allow that contact to bring an awareness to the size and the shape of the body sensation related to the emotion.
It may help to close your eyes as you focus in on the size and shape.
That's right.
Then go ahead and imagine that that feeling also has a color.
What color represents that emotion?
Then invite that deep wisdom within your mind to turn that feeling into a color or a symbol or something a little more tangible,
An object perhaps.
Something that metaphorically represents all of the energy related to that feeling.
Trust the first image that comes to mind.
Now imagine that with the hand that is resting upon that area of the body where this symbol or image now lies,
That you can pull that feeling out of the body and hold it comfortably in your hands.
Make sure you pull all of it out of the body,
Holding it comfortably in the hands.
And once it's in the hands,
Notice if there's any texture,
Vibration,
Or weight.
Notice if it's making any sounds.
Now that it's outside of the body,
Get in touch with your own deep inner wisdom.
The part of you that knows how to heal.
And invite that part of you,
The deep inner wisdom within.
To begin to create changes in the energy,
The image,
The symbol that's now in the hand.
There are many possibilities of how change can occur.
Trust the deep inner wisdom of your own being to invite exactly what you most need.
Some people will imagine a healing light filling the hands,
Permeating,
Transforming the symbol that's there.
Some people will notice that the color of the object begins to change,
Become softer,
More pleasant,
More healing.
Some people will notice that the object itself begins to change shape or size in some meaningful way.
A way that brings relief and peace.
Some people become aware of a sound,
A word,
A vibration that radically transforms what's there in the hand.
There are so many ways to heal.
And all of them are welcome.
And the deep intelligence within you can direct that.
Take another moment to receive the healing you need in the way that you need it.
The same with other Temples of Zen specimens.
Now,
Take a moment and express gratitude to that deep wisdom within,
The wisdom that has brought peace and healing.
And as you do,
Express your gratitude silently.
Create a healing gift into your hands,
An awareness of deep and profound healing energy.
Once again,
A symbol,
A shape,
A color that represents the healing you now need.
And allow that to appear in your hands,
Whether it's a color,
A word,
A sound,
Or a vibration.
Notice the first thing that comes to mind.
Once your healing gift is in hand,
Pull the energy of that gift,
The symbol,
The shape,
The representation.
Pull it into the body,
Wherever that energy,
That symbol,
That shape is most needed,
Allowing it to bring a deep healing force inside,
In the way that you most need it.
And as that new healing integrates,
I invite you to allow the energy of healing into whatever area of life you most need.
To your family,
Your social life,
Your deep intimate connections,
To work or wherever else this new healing is best serving you.
And allow that same healing to fill your future,
To grow and expand in a deeply meaningful way.
And when you're ready,
You can direct your awareness into the present moment,
Allowing yourself to direct this new energy of healing into the here and now,
Finding a deeply meaningful way.
To take the next step forward,
The next step,
To help bring your mind,
Your body,
Your being into perfect health and wellbeing.
