Meditations for Personal and Planetary Healing
Acknowledge yourself for being centered when there is incredible chaos around you. Acknowledge yourself for being courageous and for doing so much more than you thought you could.
The healing work we do at the end of our workshops and support groups is very powerful. We usually break into groups of three and do a form of laying-on-of-hands for each other. It is a wonderful way to accept energy and also share energy with many people who are reluctant in one way or another to ask for help. Often, profound experiences occur.
I would like to share some of the meditations we do at our healing circles. It would be wonderful if we all did them on an ongoing basis either by ourselves or in groups.
Touching Your Inner Child
See your inner child in any way that you can and notice how it looks and feels. Comfort your child. Apologize to it. Tell it how sorry you are for forsaking it. You have been away for so long, and you are now willing to make it up. Promise this little child that you will never ever leave her or him again. Anytime it wants, it can reach out and touch you, and you will be there. If it is scared, you will hold it. If it is angry, it is okay to express the anger. Tell it you love it very much.
You have the power to help create the kind of world that you want you and your child to live in. You have the power of your mind and your thoughts. See yourself creating a wonderful world. See your child relaxed and safe, peaceful, laughing, happy, playing with friends. Running free. Touching a flower. Hugging a tree. Picking an apple from the tree, and eating it with delight. Playing with a puppy or a kitten. Swinging high above the trees. Laughing with joy and running up to you and giving you a big hug.
See the two of you healthy and living in a beautiful, safe place. Having wonderful relationships with your parents, friends and co-workers. Being greeted with joy wherever you go. Having a special kind of love. See where you want to live and what you want to work at. And see yourselves as healthy. Very healthy. Joyous. And free. And so it is.
A Healthy World
Envision the world as a great place to live in. See all the sick being made well and the homeless being cared for. See disease become a thing of the past, and all the hospitals now apartment buildings. See prison inmates being taught how to love themselves and being released as responsible citizens. See churches remove sin and guilt from their teachings. See governments really taking care of people.
Go outside and feel the clean rain falling. As the rain stops, see a beautiful rainbow appear. Notice the sun shining, and the air is clean and clear. Smell its freshness. See the water glisten and sparkle in our rivers, streams, and lakes. And notice the lush vegetation. Forests filled with trees. Flowers, fruits, and vegetables abundant and available everywhere. See people being healed of disease, so that illness becomes a memory.
Go to other countries and see peace and plenty for all. See harmony between all people as we lay down our guns. Judgment, criticism, and prejudice become archaic and fade away. See borders crumbling and separateness disappearing. See all of us becoming one. See our Mother Earth, the planet, healed and whole.
You are creating this new world now, just by using your mind to envision a new world. You are powerful. You are important, and you do count. Live your vision. Go out and do what you can to make this vision come true. God bless us all. And so it is.
Your Healing light
Look deep within the center of your heart and find that tiny little pinpoint of brilliantly colored light. It is such a beautiful color. It is the very center of your love and healing energy. Watch the little pinpoint of light begin to pulsate, and as it pulsates, it grows until it fills your heart. See this light move through your body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes and the tip of your fingers. You are absolutely glowing with this beautiful colored light. It is your love and your healing energy. Let your whole body vibrate with this light. You can say to yourself, “With every breath I take, I am getting healthier and healthier. “
Feel this light cleansing your body of disease and allowing normal health to return to you. Let this light begin to radiate out from you in all directions, touching the people around you. Let your healing energy touch everyone whom you know who needs it. What a privilege it is to share your love and light and healing energy with those who are in need of healing. Let your light move into hospitals and nursing homes and orphanages and prisons, mental hospitals, and other institutions of despair. Let it bring hope and enlightenment and peace.
Let it move into every home in the city in which you live where there is pain and suffering. Let your love and light and healing energy bring comfort to those in need. Let it move into the churches and soften the hearts of those involved, so that they truly operate with unconditional love. Let the beautiful light that comes from your heart move into the Capitol and government buildings, bringing enlightenment and the message of truth. Let it move into every capital in every government. Select one place on the planet as a place that you would like to help heal. Concentrate your light on that place. It may be very far away or it may be around the corner. Concentrate your love and light and your healing energy on this place and see it come into balance and harmony. See it whole. Take a moment every day to send your love and light and healing energy to this particular place on the planet. We are the people. We are the children. We are the world. We are the future. What we give out comes back to us multiplied. And so it is.
Receiving Prosperity
Let’s realize some positive qualities for ourselves. We are open and receptive to wonderful new ideas. We allow prosperity to enter into our lives on a level that it has never entered before. We deserve the best. We are willing to accept the best. Our income is constantly increasing. We move away from poverty thinking into prosperity thinking. We love ourselves. We rejoice in who we are and we know that life is here for us and will supply us with everything that we need. We move from success to success, from joy to joy, and from abundance to abundance. We are one with the Power that created us. We express for ourselves the greatness that we are. We are divine, magnificent expressions of Life, and we are open and receptive to all good. And so it is.
Welcome the Child
Put your hand over your heart. Close your eyes. Allow yourself not only to see your inner child but to be that child. Let your own voice speak for your parents as they welcome you into the world and into their lives. Hear them say:
We’re so glad you came. We’ve been waiting for you. We wanted you so much to be part of our family. You’re so important to us. We’re so glad you are a little boy. We’re so glad you are a little girl. We love your uniqueness and your specialness. The family wouldn’t be the same without you. We love you. We want to hold you. We want to help you grow up to be all that you can be. You don’t have to be like us. You can be yourself. You’re so beautiful. You’re so bright. You’re so creative. It gives us such pleasure to have you here. We love you more than anything in the whole world. We thank you for choosing our family. We know you’re blessed. You have blessed us by coming. We love you. We really love you.
Let your little child make these words true for it. Be aware that every day you can hold yourself and say these words. You can look in the mirror and say these words. You can hold a friend and say these words.
Tell yourself all the things you wanted your parents to tell you. Your little child needs to feel wanted and loved. Give that to your child. No matter how old you are or how sick, or how scared, your little child needs to be wanted and loved. Keep telling your child, “I want you and I love you.” It is the truth for you. The Universe wants you here, and that’s why you are here. You’ve al ways been loved and will always be loved throughout eternity. You can live happily ever after. And so it is.
Love is Healing
Love is the most powerful healing force there is. I open myself to love. I am willing to love and be loved. I see myself prosper. I see myself healthy. I see myself creatively fulfilled. I live in peace and safety.
Send everyone you know thoughts of comfort and acceptance and support and love. Be aware that as you send these thoughts out, you also receive them back.
Envelop your family in a circle of love, whether they are living or not. Include your friends, the people at work, and everyone from your past, and all the people you would like to forgive, but don’t know how.
Send love to everyone with aids and cancer, and to the friends and lovers, hospice workers, doctors, nurses, alternative therapists, and caretakers. Let’s see an end to aids and cancer. In your mind’s eye, see a headline that reads, “Cure for cancer found. Cure for aids found.”
Put yourself in this circle of love. Forgive yourself. Affirm that you have wonderful, harmonious relationships with your parents, where there is mutual respect and caring on both sides.
Let the circle of love envelop the entire planet, and let your heart open so you can find that space within you where there is unconditional love. See everyone living with dignity and in peace and joy.
You are worth loving. You are beautiful. You are powerful. You open yourself to all good. And so it is.
We Are Free to be Ourselves
In order to be whole, we must accept all of ourselves. So let your heart open and make plenty of room in there for all the parts of yourself. The parts you are proud of and the part that embarrass you. The parts you reject and the parts you love. They are all of you. You are beautiful. We all are. When your heart is full of love for yourself, then you have so much to share with others.
Let this love now fill your room and permeate out to all the people that you know. Put the people you want in the center of your room so that they can receive the love from your overflowing heart. From your child to theirs. Now see all the children in all the people dancing as children dance, skipping and shouting and turning somersaults and cartwheels, filled with exuberant joy. Expressing all the best of the child within.
Let your child go and play with the other children. Let your child dance. Let your child feel safe and free. Let your child be all that it ever wanted to be. You are perfect, whole, and complete, and all is well in your wonderful world. And so it is.
Sharing Healing Energy
Shake your hands and then rub them together. Then share the energy in your hands with the beautiful being before you. It is such an honor and privilege to share healing energy with another human being. It is such a simple thing to do.
Whenever you are with friends, you can spend a little time sharing healing energy. We need to give to each other and receive from each other in simple, meaningful ways. The touch that says I care. We may not be able to fix anything, but we care. I’m here for you and I love you. Together we can find the answers.
All disease comes to an end. All crises come to an end. Feel the healing energies. Let that energy, that intelligence, that knowledge be awakened in us. We deserve to heal. We deserve to be whole. We deserve to know and love who we are. Divine love has always met and always will meet every human need. And so it is.
A Circle of Love
See yourself standing in a very safe space. Release your burdens and pains and fears. Old negative addictions and patterns. See them falling away from you. Then see yourself standing in your safe place with your arms wide open, saying “I am open and receptive to ___________.” Declaring for yourself what it is you want. Not what you don’t want, but what you do want. And know that it is possible. See yourself whole and healthy. At peace. See yourself filled with love.
All we need is one idea to change our lives. On this planet we can be in a circle of hate or we can be in a circle of love and healing. I choose to be in a circle of love. I realize that everyone wants the same things that I want. We want to express ourselves creatively in ways that are fulfilling. We want to be peaceful and safe.
And in this space, feel your connection with other people in the world. Let the love in you go from heart to heart. And as your love goes out, know that it comes back to you multiplied. “I send comforting thoughts to everyone and know that these thoughts are returning to me. “ See the world becoming an incredible circle of light. And so it is.
You Deserve love
We don’t have to believe everything. In the perfect time-space sequence, that which you need will rise to the surface. Each one of us has the ability to love ourselves more. Each one of us deserves to be loved. We deserve to live well, to be healthy, to be loved and loving, to prosper, and the little child deserves to grow up to have a wonderful, wonderful life.
See yourself surrounded by love. See yourself happy and healthy and whole. See yourself as you would like your life to be. Put in all the details. Know that you deserve it. Then take the love from your heart and let it begin to flow, filling your body with healing energies.
Let your love begin to flow around the room and around your home until you are in an absolutely enormous circle of love. Feel the love circulating, so as it goes out from you, it returns to you. The most powerful healing force is love. Let it circulate over and over again. Let it wash through your body. You are love. And so it is.
A New Decade
See a new door opening to a decade of great healing. Healing that we have not understood in the past. We are in the process of learning the incredible abilities that we have within ourselves. And we are learning to get in touch with those parts of ourselves that have the answers and are there to lead us and guide us in ways that are for our highest good.
So let’s see this new door opening wide and ourselves stepping through it to find healing in many, many different forms. For healing means different things to different people. Many of us have bodies that need healing. Some of us have hearts that need healing, or minds that need healing. So we are open and receptive to the healing that we each need individually. We open the door wide for personal growth, and we move through this doorway, knowing we are safe. It is only change. And so it is.
Spirit Am I
We are the only ones who can save the world. As we band together with a common cause, we find the answers. We must always remember that there is a part of us that is far more than our bodies, far more than our personalities, far more than our diseases, and more than our past. There is a part of us that is more than our relationships. The very central core of us is pure spirit. Eternal. Always has been and always will be.
We are here to love ourselves. And to love each other. By doing this, we will find the answers so that we can heal ourselves and the planet. We are going through extraordinary times. All sorts of things are changing. We may not even know the depth of the problems. Yet, we are swimming as best as we can. This, too, shall pass, and we will find solutions.
We are spirit. And we are free. We connect on a spiritual level, for we know that level can never be taken from us. And on the level of spirit, we are all one. We are free. And so it is.
A World That Is Safe
You might like to hold a hand on either side of you. We’ve touched on many things, and each of us has something we relate to. We’ve talked about negative things and positive things. We’ve talked about fears and frustrations, and how scary it is to go up to somebody and just say, “Hello.” Many of us still do not trust ourselves to take care of ourselves. And we feel lost and lonely.
Yet we have been working on ourselves for some time and have noticed that our lives are changing. Lots of problems in the past aren’t problems anymore. It doesn’t change overnight, but if we are persistent and consistent, positive things do happen.
So let’s share the energy we have and the love we have with people on either side of us. Know that as we give from our hearts, we are also receiving from other hearts. Let’s open our hearts so that we can take in everyone in the room with love, support, and caring. Let’s move that love to people in the street who have no homes and no place to go. Let’s share our love with those who are angry, frightened or in pain. Every person. And all those in denial. Those who are in the process of leaving the planet, and those who have already left.
Let’s share our love with everybody, whether they accept it or not. There is no way we can be hurt if our love is rejected. Let’s hold the entire planet in our hearts, the animals, fish, the birds, the vegetation, and all the people. All the people we are angry at, or frustrated with. Those who are not doing it our way, and those who are expressing so-called evil. Let’s take them into our hearts, too. So that out of the feeling of safety, they can begin to recognize who they really are.
See peace breaking out all over the planet. Know that you are contributing to peace right now. Rejoice that you have the ability to do something. You are a beautiful, person. Acknowledge yourself for how wonderful you are. Know that it is the truth for you. And so it is.
Loving All The Parts of Ourselves
I would like you to go back in time to when you were five years old and see yourself as clearly as you can. Look at that little child, and with your arms outstretched, say to that child: “I am your future and I have come to love you.” Embrace the child and bring it forward with you to present time. Now both of you stand in front of a mirror so you can look at each other with love.
You see that there are a few parts of you that are missing. Once again go back in time to the moment you were first born. You were wet and felt the cold air on your body. You had just come through a difficult journey. The lights were bright, and the umbilical cord was still attached, and you were scared. Yet here you were ready to start life on this planet. Love the little baby.
Move to the time when you were just learning to walk. You stood up and fell down and stood up and fell down once again. Suddenly you took your first step, and then another step and another. You were so proud of yourself. Love the little child.
Move forward to your first day of school. You didn’t want to leave your mother. You were brave to step across the threshold of a new period of time in your life. You did the very best you could with the whole situation. Love the little child.
Now you are ten years old. You remember what was going on. It may have been wonderful or frightful. You were doing the very best to survive. Love the ten-year-old child.
Go forward to when you just entered puberty and were a teenager. It may have been exciting because you were finally growing up. It may have been frightening because there was a lot of peer pressure to look right and act the right way. You handled it the best you could. Love the teenager.
Now you are graduating high school. You knew more than your parents. You were ready to begin your life now the way you wanted. You were brave and scared all at the same time. Love that young adult.
Now remember your first day at work. The first time you earned money and you were so proud. You wanted to do well. There was so much to learn. You did the best you knew how. Love that person.
Think of another milestone in your life. A marriage. Your own child. A new home. It may have been a dreadful experience or a wonderful one. Somehow you handled it. You survived in the best way you could. Love the person you are.
Now bring all these parts of yourself forward, and stand in front of the mirror so you can look at each of them with love. Coming towards you is yet another part. Your future stands with arms outstretched and says, “I am here to love you. “ And so it is.
Feel Your Power
Feel your power. Feel the power of your breath. Feel the power of your sound. Feel the power of your love. Feel the power of your forgiveness. Feel the power of your willingness to change. Feel your power. You are beautiful. You are a divine, magnificent being. You deserve all good, not just some, but all good. Feel your power. Be at peace with it, for you are safe. Welcome this new day with open arms and with love. And so it is.
The Light Has Come
Sit opposite your partner and hold your partner’s hands. Look into each other’s eyes. Take a nice deep breath and release any fear that you may have. Take another deep breath and release your judgment and allow yourself to be with this person. What you see in them is a reflection of you, a reflection of what is in you.
It’s all right. We are all one. We breathe the same air. We drink the same water. We eat the foods of the earth. We have the same desires and needs. We all want to be healthy. We all want to love and be loved. We all want to live comfortably and peacefully, and we all want to prosper. We all want to live our lives with fulfillment.
Allow yourself to look at this person with love, and be willing to receive the love back. Know that you are safe. As you look at your partners, affirm for them the perfect health. Affirm for them loving relationships, so that they are surrounded by loving people wherever they may be. Affirm for them prosperity so that they live comfortably. Affirm for them comfort and safety and know that what you give out returns to you multiplied. So affirm the very best of everything, and know that they deserve it and see them willing to accept it. And so it is.
