Meditation for Periods of Chaos - It Works!
On July 31st I posted a simple meditation technique that can offer quick and powerful results during times of great stress. You can do it anywhere; on the subway, at your desk, while on a hectic city street – that is if you can pull over the side so no one bumps into you as you close your eyes for a moment. ;o) I reprint the meditation below for those who missed it the first time around…. Remember there is another eclipse coming on the full moon.
Anyway, low and behold it came in handy for yours truly the night after the eclipse. The eclipse was such a powerful one and it threw a friend of mine completely off balance. Being empathic and very connected to this person I absorbed all the energy like a sponge and it woke me up at 2am. I felt stressed and anxious and had no thoughts what’s so ever to explain the visceral reaction I was having.
I could have created much stress for myself if I believed it was "my stuff". My powerful mind could have search for a reason to validate the experience and I suppose conjure up all sorts of things to worry about and rob me of my much needed sleep.
But instead I decided to just get balanced first and then look at things and try to figure it out. So as I lay in bed I did this simply meditation. It only took a few minutes for me to feel an inner calm. When I was able to calm myself I realized my friend was in angst and I was able to then send them some loving and supportive energy, roll over, and go back to sleep.
When I did I had a wonderful dreaming showing me the GOOD that was actually going to come out of this person's current situation: even though he was not wanting to be where he was, doing what he was doing, I could see not only the success he was going to have on this particular project but I saw the connections he was making were going to come back and bear a great deal of fruit in the future both financially and personally.
It is wonderful what we can discover if we will ourselves to dig deep and reach high.
MEDITATION: Let your focus run down the roots deep into the earth increasing your awareness that your soul runs deep and that you are very connected to the earth and her plan. See how you are supported by all the earth that surrounds your roots. You are nourished by all the food found in the soil and that the cool dark earth feels ever so comforting to you.
The focus your attention to your braches and your leaves as they extend and reach upward toward the clouds soaking up as much light and inspiration as you need in this moment. Imagine yourself as the mighty tree that you are, perhaps a 200 year old oak.
Do this for a few minutes. You will you feel grounded and expanded at the same time. You are now perfectly ready and able to deal with the issue(s) that you need to address today. KNOW that you WILL address these issues with deep confidence and a deep sense of knowing who you are and where you are going.
