Meditation

Each person’s experience of meditation is completely unique regardless of whether they are sitting in a group or by themselves.

This does NOT matter.

Each meditation will be a different journey.

There are no rules.

The idea is that you have taken timeout to relax and find the inner harmony your mind, body, and soul deserves.

All I suggest to anyone meditating is to be sitting comfortably, feet firmly on the floor and NOT crossed, make sure your back is supported properly by the back of your chair, have a glass of water close by, and if possible switch the phone off (especially the mobile!)

This is a short meditaiton to cut away the
'Dead Wood' in your life
and allowing you to Grow

What is dead wood?
This is your choice I can not tell you what it is.

It is always your choice

Enjoy the experience

Pick a quiet place and a comfortable chair.

Sit quietly with both feet on the ground and relax.

Close your eyes. Begin to be aware of your breathing.

Inhale…

Exhale…

Inhale…Exhale…

Concentrate on your breathing, in through the nose and out through the mouth.

If you have a lot of tension, on the in breath lift your shoulders, and as you exhale release them.
(Only do this if you do NOT have shoulder problems)
Do this a couple of times.

Now visualise walking towards a tree of your choice,
This tree represents you.
Take a long look at it

Do you need to clear away the old dead leaves that are surrounding it?
Do you need to remove old pieces of branches that have fallen?

Does it need a general tidy up around its base and roots?
Take your time doing this little bit of tidying up

Enjoy getting rid of all the
Old dead parts that you no longer need
Now look up the tree
Do the branches need to be pruned back?

Do any ones that are broken need to be cut off and discarded?

Remember that you are the trunk of this tree
You need to have good strong roots
So cut away anything that is going to stop your growth

Now look up higherSee the new shoots starting to appear
New growth new branches new leaves all at the top of your tree

Wonderful

Now just let your imagination take you forward 3 months

See the difference

See how much your leaves and branches have grown

Now look forward another 3 months
See yourself in FULL bloom

A canopy of green,
With strong branches and bright green leaves
Perhaps with fruit on your tree?
Just a few short months
Notice the changes that have and will happen to you.

Sit quietly for a few moments and enjoy this feeling
then vey gently

Inhale…….Exhale……

On each exhale become aware of sitting in your chair and being in your room

Inhale……Exhale…….

Inhale……Exhale……
Open your eyes and have a drink of water.

I hope you enjoyed this short meditation
