Guided Meditation and Chatting To Your Higher Self
Guided meditation is perfect for those who struggle to 'switch off'. If the thought of 'clearing your mind' freaks your little noodle out, then a guided meditation is probably perfect for you.

Meditation brings you into the present moment by focusing on your breath and focusing your attention on how your body feels. A guided meditation will guide you to bringing your attention to certain things and will also lead you on a visualization adventure. It is usually lots of fun and very refreshing and invigorating for your body and mind.
The power of visualization should NOT be underestimated. These sessions can also be called your life design sessions. As the life you are visualizing is the one you are creating. |

I love Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now it is amazing. It is a book that I plan to read multiple times as there is just so much to grasp in there.
If we are truly living in the moment, we have no problems, we have no worries.
The only reasons we ever worry is because our minds are time based and use our past experiences to project into an imaginary future. |
If we can live fully in the now, we can experience our true state, which is joy, peace, love, compassion, gratitude, all the time.
It is only ever from projecting our consciousness into the past or the future that we make ourselves unhappy, and that unhappiness is simply resistance to who we really are, our true selves.

That is why guided meditations are so useful. They will bring you into an awareness of the present moment, as well as taking you on a little journey in creating your ideal life through visualizations.
If you have struggled with meditation or just need some easy meditation techniques, then try a guided meditation CD, I love Kathy Freston's guided meditation CD's. I also really enjoy Kelly Howell's Guided Meditation CD's. |
Easy Meditation Techniques - Higher Self Meditation
I have an easy meditation technique that I use from time to time.
I imagine myself getting into an elevator. I go up to the 21st floor. I watch the elevator screen light up with each number as I pass each floor, so I'm counting up all the way to 21. I come out of the elevator and I see a flight of stairs. I climb up 21 stairs.
This leads me to a long corridor, like a long hotel corridor. All along the one side of the corridor are room numbers starting at 1. I walk past each room number until I reach room 21. I open the door.
And then my imagination throws up whatever it wants to throw up. The first time I visited this room it was very businesslike, just like a lawyers office. And there was my higher self complete with business suit and.......clipboard (who knows?).
This room has massive windows overlooking the ocean and it is beautiful and tranquil. When I went there this morning the room was very comfortably furnished with big comfortable armchairs with very soft cream fabric and enormous cushions.
And this time my higher self had flowers in her hair and a long loose caftan in cream with red flowers painted on it. She was all hippy and flowery this time (no clipboards in sight).
Whenever I have visited one thing is constant, she is always wonderful to me. She encourages me, tells me how wonderfully well I'm doing, gives me some solid advice and encouragement about what to do next, and tells me how much I am loved.
There is never any hint of criticism, any hint of reproach, it is pure positive loving energy. Once I'm done chatting with my higher self, she gives me a big hug and then I'm off, counting down the rooms as I pass, from 21 down to 1, down the 21 steps, into the lift and down the 21 floors, and then I'm done. Refreshed, revitalized, energized and full of inspired ideas.
