Meditation Techniques
© 2005 by Corinne McLaughlin



ALIGN YOUR POSTURE AND RELAX YOUR BODY 
 

Keep your spine erect, sitting in chair or crossed-legged sitting on floor

Do not lie down unless necessary because of pain, as you might fall asleep

Hands can be folded in lap, or with palms up or down on thighs

CONCENTRATE ON YOUR BREATH 

Breathe in peace and stillness, inhaling slowly and deeply to a regular count

Hold for a few moments

Exhale slowly and deeply to a count of seven, releasing tension, worries, irritation, and repeat several times


CALM YOUR EMOTIONS 
 

Observe your feelings without reacting to them or overly identifying with them 

Visualize your feelings as a ball of energy in the solar plexus center (near the stomach) rising up to your heart with each breath inhaled;

Then exhale, visualizing emotional energy being transmuted into unconditional love

STILL YOUR MIND 

Focus your attention in the present, letting go of worries about the past or future

Become a detached observer, noticing your thoughts flying past, without trying to stop or change them, and without judging or labeling them

Empty out the contents of your mind, until you experience pure awareness with no specific thoughts


DEDICATE/ ASPIRE/ EXPAND
 

Lift your awareness to align with the highest and wisest part of yourself (the soul)

If a group meditation, link on a soul level with all those in the group

If appropriate, then align with the enlightened teachers of humanity (the Masters of Wisdom, the Christ, the Buddha, etc.) and with God’s will

MAINTAIN SILENCE
 

Remain relaxed and receptive, yet alert and aware (avoiding drowsiness) for a period of 10 to 30 minutes

END WITH A BLESSING
 

End your meditation by releasing and circulating energy, sending positive thoughts or prayers to those in need, to humanity as a whole, and to the earth for healing and peace
