    Here's a meditation/healing tool that I use. It's the first in a series of global mediations that I'm creating as an inspiration from some of the posts in the psychic forum.

    _______________________________________________________________

    Take some deep breaths and relax. Get into a comfortable position. Let your body and your soul come into rhythm with each other and just feel for a few moments.

    This is you. This is a part of you. Feel the layers as you breathe.

    Now I want you to go deeper. You can close your eyes if you'd like. We're going to go inside of you. Sink softly into yourself. Sink past your thoughts of who you are. Sink past the feelings that rise to greet you. Sink into the depths, into the quiet, into you. Stay there softly for a moment.

    In this place nothing can harm you. Nothing can move you. This is your place. This is your home. You are free here. You are welcome here always. In this place you can feel all of the things you've wanted to feel. If you are sad you can grieve. If you are happy you can dance with joy. Whatever you feel is ok. This is the place you come to release all of the fears, all of the pressures, all of the things that are not you. This is the place where you find yourself and fill yourself with you. So breathe yourself in. Let you saturate your being.

    There may be pain you were not aware of. This is the place where you can face that. Here you find solace in yourself. Here your pain will dissolve. Here you are strong. Here you are free. There is nothing here but you. Rest here for a while. Take as long as you need.




    Now I want you to rise a bit to where you meet the world. See the pressures that are pushed against you. See the fears that rise to greet you. Hold on to that self which you have filled yourself with. Turn the volume down on the outside world. Let whatever comes to the surface in your home be surrounded by your love. For as you love this place, this self which is you, you grow. You become bigger and stronger and freer and gentler. This is your place. Nothing can harm you. Nobody can take you away from you. Feel yourself in relation to the world.



    Now rise some more. Maybe open your eyes. Look around. Feel your body which is the vessel for you. These are your tools for expressing whatever it is you want to express. These are not you. They are your house, your vehicle, the place in which you reside. And that strength, depth and love that you felt inside yourself... let them fill your tools.


    This is a beginning. This is your place and you can make it anyway you want. It might be a palace with glittering windows filled with sunlight where you can bathe naked in the sun. Maybe you have a cave in which you go to hibernate. Maybe it changes everytime you go there. It is whatever you need it to be. It is whenever you need it to be. This is your creation. This is yours. This is you. And you can unfold and be in any way.

    I use this as my base. When I am in the world and things feel painful or stressful I pause for a moment and return, even just for the flicker of a moment and remember who I am. Sometimes I ask myself, what would I be doing if I weren't afraid? What would I be saying if I weren't angry? Why am I feeling anything but peace in this moment? And often I'm given an alternative to the way I feel.

    Like I said this is a start. Do this whenever you feel like you're spinning away from you. Do this when you need to ground into you and be free.
