COURSE

Learn How To Meditate With Hymns In Five Days

With Yvette C Lee

Each day, we will focus on a different aspect of meditation with hymns, including inner peace, mindfulness, gratitude, forgiveness, and loving-kindness. We will begin each session by introducing a specific hymn, and its meaning, followed by a guided meditation practice that incorporates the hymn. You will also have this time to journal if this feels right for you or just flow in the moment.

Incorporating hymns into your meditation practice with their soothing melodies and uplifting messages, can deepen your connection to your spirituality and provide an added layer of emotional resonance.

Lesson 1

Meditation With Hymns: Inner Peace

Meditation with hymns combines the practice of meditation with the uplifting and inspirational power of hymns. It can enhance the experience of meditation and help you connect with your spirituality. Inner Peace meditation is a powerful tool for cultivating a sense of calm and tranquility within oneself. This type of meditation involves focusing on the present moment and letting go of any thoughts or worries that may be causing stress or anxiety. Let's start our meditation practice with a hymn that has a slow and gentle melody and listen to it with your eyes closed. As you listen, focus on your breath and notice any thoughts or feelings that arise. Simply observe them without judgment or attachment, and let them pass. Remember, I will first say the words of the hymn and allow you to write them down if you desire to do so. Then, once we begin the meditation with the hymn/music track, I will say or sing the phrases twice, then just allow the music to play. During this time, if you wish, you can say or sing the phrases out loud or silently or just flow with the music.

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Meditation With Hymns: Gratitude

Gratitude meditation is a practice that involves focusing your attention on things that you are grateful for, such as people, experiences, or opportunities. It can help you cultivate a more positive and optimistic outlook on life. We will learn how to use hymns to deepen our experience and make the practice more meaningful. Let's start our meditation practice with a hymn that expresses gratitude and listen to it with your eyes open/closed. As you listen, focus on things that you are grateful for. I will first say the words of the hymn/phrases and allow you to write them down if you desire to do so.

Lesson 4

Meditation With Hymns: Forgiveness

Forgiveness meditation is a practice that involves letting go of resentments and grudges towards oneself or others. It can help you cultivate compassion and promote inner peace. Let's start our meditation practice with a hymn that expresses forgiveness. As you listen, think of someone or something that you need to forgive, and let the hymn guide you toward forgiveness. During this time, if you wish, you can say or sing the phrases out loud or silently or just flow with the music. I will share the four phrases and give you time to write them down if you desire to do so.
