Meditation and Spiritual Development
You don’t need to be a monk on a mountain to meditate but it is the basis of all spiritual advancement and exploration. We tend to think of meditation as navel staring when in actual fact it is just simply….presence. The act of becoming present and focusing on your breathing is the essence of meditation.
We spend so much of our time out of body. That is that we spend most of our time thinking about the future, the past or our next move that we are rarely present in this moment. It is in this moment and when we are quiet, relaxed and focused inward that we hear our inner voice, our intuition, our knowing.
When we are not present we can scare ourselves with our brain thinking about how things can go wrong. This fear puts stress on our body and our emotions. When we are present we become relaxed because everything is in the moment and all is well. It’s the only way to truly relax the body and the emotions.
Guided meditation takes you on a journey. A journey of healing, relaxation, or discovery and it always starts with a relaxed state achieved by presence. Meditating alone is seen to be difficult but merely following your breath can bring amazing results. Working with crystals to help you also brings outstanding results. Meditating with Mookite grounds you and helps you feel calm, connected, clear and solidly connected to your experience while meditating with Selenite raised your vibrations and can assist in making contact with your guides, your inner self or loved ones passed. See page on remedies for more information on working with crystals.
Meditating in a group enhances the meditation process significantly. When you are centered and relaxed and raising your frequency through meditation, the power of the groups intensifies everyone’s experience and makes the process easier for everyone in the group as we all sit in each other’s glow.
It is believed that this increased in power is 5 fold. So meditating in a group of 5 is like meditating with 25 people and makes it just that much easier to let go of the random thoughts and dive into the energy of the relaxation and meditation.
I run Meditation groups at various times, please inquire for more information and latest details.
I hope you enjoy this sample meditation.....
Rainbow walking
Sit comfortably in a chair or snuggle into your bed and breathe out fully to relax into position. If sitting, make sure your head is balanced on the top of your spine so that all the muscles can relax and it can support itself. If in bed, ensure you all blankets and pillows are in the most comfortable position possible.
Begin by just breathing. Take notice of each breathe and try to breathe really low into your lungs by aiming to breathe into your navel. Feel your lungs filling from the bottom first, pushing out your tummy, and then filling to the very top before you exhale. Try breathing in deep through your nose then breathing out through your mouth in one long gush like you are blowing up a balloon.
Get into this relaxing and focused rhythm until you find yourself slowing in your breathing and feeling heavier and more and more relaxed.

Use this meditation to fall asleep and relax the body for sleep. (If you have fallen asleep before this point….sweet dreams.) It is interesting over time to see that you never fully reach some colours when using this method to sleep. If you have not fallen asleep yet you will now be far more relaxed so I would suggest you start the process again.
You can also use this method as a moment of self meditation whenever you get a chance or to read to someone else in a gentle and calm voice, with a background of meditation music
To finish the meditation, once you have soaked in the white light and been where ever it has taken you, you begin to return to your body. When this happens focus more and more of reconnecting with your body. Do this by beginning to notice everything about your body and how you feel. Then focus on the feeling of the soles of your feet on the ground, the feeling of the chair supporting your body and the feeling of your hands in your lap. Wiggle your fingers and toes and make it your intension to be fully grounded and balanced in your bodies.
Have long drink of water to reconnect and get your body working again.
Use this method as often as you can to experience the power of healing and relaxation through colour.
