Days 1-6: Nature Cleansing Meditation

 Nature can seriously do everyone some good. It clears your mind, relaxes you, and energizes you. The colors, smells, sounds, and experiences you have in nature all impact your mind, body and spirit. It’s vital to do these types of exercises regularly as they can bring you long lasting positive effects.

. Here’s how to do it:

1.     Find a nice quiet place you won’t be bothered. Preferably away from city noises so that you can immerse yourself deeper into the practice.

2.     Relax your entire body, and begin to let go of all thoughts tied to your life, humanity, anything non-nature oriented. The best tactic for this I have found is to pretend that today is the last day of the world, and all else doesn’t matter anymore.

3.     When you feel like you have achieved a sense of serenity, close your eyes and listen to the environment around you. Become it.

4.     Feel what it is like to be nature. Forget humanity and its complications.  Spend as long as you would like doing this. You may also enjoy sitting amongst plants/trees, and pretending to be one of them. Experiencing reality from different viewpoints.

Days 7-15: Chakra Focus Meditation

 Nature connects you to your chakras. Your chakras hold a lot of your physical and mental health. When you connect to your chakras you not only feel better, but you understand yourself better. A clear connection can clear up complications you have been dealing with internally, and externally. When you connect to your chakras and nature, life has new meaning.

1.     Find a nice quiet place you won’t be bothered.

2.     Relax your body, and begin feeling your body. Connect with it as deep as you can.

3.     Now start focusing on your pelvis, and that it’s emanating a cherry red. Imagine it’s a red sphere. When you feel like it’s ready (your body will tell you) move on to your navel area.

4.     Again, focus on a sphere in this location, this time a nice fruit orange. When you feel ready move on to the solar plexus.

5.     Focus on happy yellow then move to the center of your chest where your heart would be. Focus on green this time. Then your throat, and the color blue.

6.     Next, move to your third eye, just above your eyebrows in the middle. Focus on Indigo.

7.     Move to the center of the top of your head, where you put a crown. Focus on the purest white light coming in from this point feeding all your previously worked chakras.

8.     Do this for 30 – 60 mins, or longer if you wish.

Days 16-22: Subconscious Diving

 Your subconscious holds all of your current life, and past life memories. If you don’t regularly push yourself to clean it out, you have lingering problems that seem to never leave. By diving into your subconscious you can change your life for the better and rid yourself of negative habits, memories, and thoughts. To be constantly at a serene state, you must know who you are, and where you generate your current self.

1.     Find a relaxing spot where you can sit, or lay down uninterrupted.

2.     Relax, and take a few deep breathes. Let go of all the thoughts of the day, and all the stresses in your life that are currently present.

3.     Ask yourself a question such as, “Why am I angry when …; Why do I…etc” Let your mind and soul take you to the place where that habit, thought, or memory resides in your subconscious. Don’t try to control where you go as you will fail in reaching the true location of the negative pattern.

4.     If taken to a memory, try to resolve the situation from your current point of view. If taken to a thought, dissect it. If dealing with negative habits, ask for light to rid you of them. Address anything that comes up, and breathe if it is heavy/hard.

5.     Do this for as long as you can. Your subconscious has timed files, meaning you can only spend so long at the location to correct the pattern. It make take you several times to correct the pattern.

Days 23-30: Celestial Mediation

Now that you have connect with the environment, your chakras, and yourself…it’s time to take it to the skies. When you are in harmony with yourself on these multiple levels, you can access hidden information and healing light. This will take you to new heights of understanding of reality, and everything that encompasses matter. A truly powerful experience.

1.     Relax somewhere quiet and private.

2.     Take deep breathes, letting go of everything. If you find it hard to do this, start by doing 5 – 10 minutes of the previous three meditations until you reach this state of complete open harmony.

3.     Let yourself go completely. Let the universal energies take you to the celestial realms.

4.     The amount of time you spend there is completely dependent on how long you can maintain a trance, or however long the information that is being delivered to you takes.

5.     You can do this, multiple times a day. Just make sure to always center yourself after every experience so that you absorb the lessons and light given to you.

6.     Reflect on what you experienced.

Cycles of 10 Breathing

Concentration and Memory exercise

The most basic of all meditations consists of observing one's train of

thoughts. Before one can control a thing, one must become aware of a

thing. So one seeks to distinguish between the consciousness and what

occupies it. Meditations of this type come in many forms. One of the most

basic is the cycles of 10 breathing meditation. This one finds this the

most useful beginner's meditation. 

One simply sits in a comfortable position (but not too comfortable you do

not wish to sleep), and breaths in and out at a normal pace, and that

constitutes a count of one. Continue to count until you reach 10 sets of

breathing in and breathing out. Then start the next set as one. If you

lose count, or find yourself counting 11 or 12, simply start again with

one and try to stop at 10 during the next cycle.

I would suggest you try to do this for at least five minutes to start.

Continue for the whole five minutes, even if you lose count. For normal

human breathing this should consist of about 11 to 13 cycles of 10. Once

you can easily do each cycle without flaw, add more cycles. You may add

as many as you wish, but if you find yourself easily finishing 75 or more

cycles you may wish to consider moving on to a more difficult exercise.

When you start this you may find your mind a raging torrent of unruly

thoughts, or you may find yourself worrying about the days events. When

this happens simply acknowledge you have lost track and begin again. In

doing this you will become aware of what fills your mind during your

waking hours.

Controlling the flow of Thought

Improving your focus

In this meditation, you attempt to direct the stream of thoughts either
towards some object or away from it. You may chose either to begin, but
by doing both at different times you will gain more from it. In directing
your thoughts toward some object, you pick a subject and strive to direct
your attention to it and to keep your attention from straying onto a
different subject. 

For example, you may sit and study the wall across from you. Look at the
wall, observe the texture of the wall, think of the materials the wall
consists of, examine the many shades of color, focus your attention on
the wall. When you stray off into another subject, once you become aware
of it, simply turn your attention back to the wall. Again, at first
attempt 5 minutes and gradually increase the time as you find the
meditation easier.

In order to turn your thoughts away from a subject, you simply focus your
attention on another subject, or group of subjects. The fascinating thing
about this version of the meditation - once you try to command your mind
to ignore a subject, the more your mind will try to focus on it.Pain
seems like good subject for this meditation, which gives a glimpse of the
meditations to come. Of course,one can chose any subject. 

Unless you have a very limber body try this: sit on the ground with your
legs straight out in front of you. Lean over your legs, stretch out your
arms and try to grasp your feet around their bottoms. Don't fret if you
cannot reach that far, simply let the hands grasp the legs as far up as
they can. At the point where you feel a pain, in the back of your legs,
almost too intense to endure, stop there and grasp.

Stay in that position, and begin the cycles of 10 breathing meditation.
Try at first for 30 seconds. If you cannot last 30 seconds you may have
stretched too far. Pain does serve a useful function, it warns the body
of impending damage, do not stretch too far, too fast. If you easily last
30 seconds you have not stretched far enough. If you cannot feel any pain
when you grasp your feet, you probably do yoga or something similar -
find a painful position which will not damage you.

While sitting this way, turn your thoughts toward some subject. Simply focus on something other than the pain. If you find you can do this for 20 or more minutes
consider moving on to the next meditation.

Final Space

Helps clean the subconscious of lingering emotions and stress.

*NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CLINICALLY PRONE INDIVIDUALS

1. Find a nice relaxing space where no one will bother you, and keep a notebook with pen handy. 

2. Begin breathing, and relax every muscle, and portion of your being. 

3. Imagine you are in a space craft that has ran out of fuel. You only have a few hours before life support goes down. You decide to use the remaining time you have writing your final words to those closest to you. You may have things to say to others outside your immediate circle. 

4. Think about what you would say, or write. Feel free to write these thoughts down on your notepad.  

5. Reflect on your final thoughts. Is there unfinished business you should take care of to make yourself feel better? Perhaps a, "I love you.".... or just a real heart to heart with someone?

Use this information to better yourself and your relationships.

Creating connections

Increase consciousness and mindfulness. 

Close your eyes and imagine a person you care about sitting right in front of you. Imagine looking at and interacting with this person. Study them. Take note of these following emotional responses. Write down what you came up with for each one. 

1. Openness

2. Empathy

3. Compassion

4. Loving kindness

5. Sympathetic joy

Developing these qualities is a way to channel your energy's and building stronger and healthier relationships. These attitudes are interdependent; each influences the other and by cultivating one you cultivate them all.  Feel free to try this with any considerable relationship you have.
