As you might have seen in my Ways of Inspiration blog, I listed meditation as a great way to become inspired if you are looking for creativity, or just for something different in life.
Below I've outlined a simple meditation that takes just a few minutes of time. Very short and to the point, but I can't say it will be easy for everyone. For some, seeing images and colors is very easy, for others it can be difficult. So what I will say is to just be patient and loving with yourself while doing it until it is finished.
Guided Meditation to Begin or End Your Day
Pick a place that is comfortable and quiet. The bedroom, outside, the bathroom even if that's the only place you have to spend a few minutes in privacy.
Either sit cross legged, with your back straight but relaxed (against a wall for support if needed), or in a chair sitting straight. Gently place hands on your knees with palms up.
Take three deep breaths, and on exhale push them out! As if you were trying to rid something out of your body.
Slow the breathing back down to a deep and relaxed pace. Keep this until you start to feel a stillness about out.
Either in your head or out loud affirm to yourself and the world, "I release and banish all negativity from within and around my body. I bring the light into me."
As you say that, picture a beautiful light. I suggest a white light at first, but as you grow used to the meditation, the colors will change with how you feel and what you desire and need. But for now as I said, picture a shimmering white light.
Let this light start at the soles of your feet, and slowly work its' way up through your toes, then ankles, then shins and calves into your knees then thighs, and up into your hips.
Picture it continuing into your butt, then into your root chakra area (the genitals), up into your abdominal area, then the belly, lungs and heart.
Keep it moving upward to your shoulders, and down your arms to your fingertips, then back up, and around your spine, moving into your throat and neck, all the way up your jaw, filling your head and finally picture that light spilling out the top of your head and surrounding you fully.
See the light expand all around you as you are quiet and at peace.
If you feel the need to take a deep breath, do so. Sometimes this helps the energy and light move through a blocked spot that needs some work.
Continue to sit quietly feeling and seeing the light for as long as you desire. Slowly bring yourself back to earth by opening your eyes and becoming aware of your surroundings again.
Feel amazing, and continue on with your day!
