We’re
combining relaxation and meditation into one basic handout because relaxation always
accompanies standard passive meditation.
Place
yourself in a comfortable seated or reclining position. Close your eyes, while taking a few deep
breaths, slowly and deeply, in through the nose and out through the mouth with
the intent to relax. You might affirm
silently and slowly, “I Am relaxing my body, my mind, and my spirit—now.” If you aren’t already in the practice of
breathing deeply or “full body,” think of your abdomen as a balloon you’re
inflating. You artificially fill your balloon by pushing breath down into that
area and then artificially pull the abdomen back in for a while when exhaling. Counting to 4 on each inhale, then holding
for another count of 4, then releasing to a count of 4 can be helpful. Gradually, cease the counting and just allow
your body to breathe deeply. With practice over time, this breathing will come
automatically to you—24 hours a day. At
some point in time (maybe after days or weeks of practice), you will want to
expand the area breathing to the entire trunk of your body.
After
you have practiced the above several times on different days, you can begin instructing
yourself to relax by communicating silently while deep breathing. The words used are divided by a hyphen—one syllable
or one word when inhaling and one syllable or one word when exhaling. Don’t be
concerned if you don’t remember them all.
They don’t have to be in any particular order either. The recommended
words are At – Ease; Quiet – Mind; Re – lax; Here – Now; Peace – Calm; Be –
Still; Si – lence.
If
you wish to go to sleep, you can add these words: Sleep-y; Deep – Sleep. You can also substitute
numbers for words, when easing into sleep.
Count backward silently—one number when inhaling and one when exhaling,
with the last being zero. Start with any number you wish. For example, if 100
seems overwhelming, try 20 the first time.
Just find what works well for you at any given time
When
beginning to practice passive meditation, some people are concerned and
stressed, wondering if they’ll be able to do it or do it right. First, there is no “right way.” What works for you is just fine. An important
reminder here is that, just like anything else, for most people, practice makes
meditation easier over time. Ignore any
thoughts that come into your mind and silently think “Quiet – Mind” as many
times as it takes. No struggling
allowed, just relax and be at peace.
Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Here’s
something I picked up somewhere that can be used before beginning relaxation
and passive meditation. Imagine a bright
golden white light at the core of your body, generally just above the solar
plexus area. Take deep breaths and expanding the light outward to fill your entire
body as you’re exhaling. The goal is to fill and encase your physical body and
auric body in the golden white light. Extend the light about 3’ to 5’ beyond
your physical form. When that feels
complete, allow yourself to sense that field of light in place. It is of high vibration and protective of
your space.
There
are many other techniques for relaxing and engaging in passive meditation.
