Healing by Opening Your Heart and Letting Your Fears Go
Imagery Meditation Practice
May life bring you health, love and joy.
(I will use drumming and singing bowl also with this meditation)
Take a few moments to arrive to this time and space, let other things in your surrounding fade away.
I would like you to close your eyes and take a few nice slow deep breaths. To focus your attention, it can help if you count to 4 as you breath in, count to four as you hold your breath and count to four as you breathe out.
Practice breathing in and out this way a few times. Taking your time and feeling the breath as it is coming into your body and slowly leaving your body. Imagine beautiful bright light coming into your body as you are breathing in and as you breath out release anything from your body that you do not need anymore.
Now, I would like you to pay attention to your heartbeat and focus on your heart. I would like you to imagine your heart opening like a beautiful flower. Take a moment to imagine your favorite flower. This flower can be real, it can be an abstract flower, a painting, whatever comes to your mind. Let your mind create the flower you need at this moment. Let your imagination fly.
Stay here for a second take a few nice deep breaths. Imagine breathing into your heart making your flower open. Feel the sun shining through your heart bringing a beautiful light to your flower. I would like you to continue talking nice gentle breaths and imagine your heart is full of joy and it is full of happiness.
Now, imagine the flower spreading its spores all around your body and bringing happiness and joy wherever it lands. Plant the seeds of this beautiful and joyful flower everywhere where you can. Every place where you feel you need healing in your body and mind. Gently plant the seed of healing, happiness and joy. Feel the emotions going through your body expanding from your heart toward your arms and legs and above towards your head.
Spend a few moments here. Take some nice deep breaths and feel the joy and the happiness surrounding your body.
Now, imagine that everything around you is pure energy that interacts with your body, bringing positivity and support into your heart. Now repeat these words after me:
I am healthy. I am well. I am happy. I invite joy into my life.
Now imagine that anything that causes you to be unhealthy, bring stress or fear into your life. Bring the negative emotions together and create a ball out of your emotions. I can see this ball as a foaming grayish-black cloud. However, this ball appears to you gather all the negative and unsupportive emotions and anxiety and stress from your body into this ball. Bring the ball in front of your body. Put both of your hands out and hold the ball. Make sure you get all the fear, anxiety, and stress out from your body into this ball.
Now, as you’re holding the ball in your hand turn it into light bring all the energy and positivity from your surroundings and your heart and let your fear go. Create this beautiful light that shines through you, within you, and around you.
Now repeat these sentences with me:
I am healthy. I am well. I am happy. I invite joy into my life.
I am opening my heart to new experiences. I am letting fear, anxiety, and stress go from my life.
I bring love joy happiness and health into my heart.
I know that my spirit is beautiful and whole.
I am healthy. I am well. I am happy. I am inviting joy into my life.
Stay here for a moment. Take some nice deep breaths and enjoy the beauty you have invited into your heart and your life.
Thank you for being here. Stay in this moment as long as you like and bring this feeling with you throughout your day.
