Peace Meditation

 

Hi Beauties and welcome back to our practical enlightenment meditation, where our theme today is Peace. And I am very excited to say that we are going into a very special period where our practical enlightenment meditations are going to be inspired directly from my new book, You Are More Than You Think You Are – Practical Enlightenment For Everyday Life.

You can pre-order the book now. And if you do so, you can get the first few chapters for free. And if you get a few books, you can also get our Beyond Fear: Live Your Best Life Course, for free, as well. These are offerings, my love, that come right from my heart and with the full sincere intention of helping support you in living your best life. I cannot wait to share them with you. I really hope and believe that they will benefit you. I can’t wait for you to check them out.

There was a whole chapter in the book devoted to peace because as the great yoga guru, Paramahansa Yogananda says, if we don’t have peace in our life, it’s like having a distorted lake where we can’t see the calmness, the plasticity of the surface. So then we don’t have access to our best ideas. We can’t really tune into our intuition. We don’t have our full energy. If things in your life are not going the way that you want them to go, I can almost guarantee it’s because you don’t have more peace in your life.

I recommend calling on this meditation often, when you feel that you are in moments of anxiety, periods of high stress, or just in general, to keep your life like that really calm placid lake, where you can really feel the fullness of your energy and also enjoy your life to the highest degree possible.

Let’s get started…

Guided Meditation

Go ahead and please get into your comfortable meditation position. Either seated on the floor with your legs crossed or on a chair with your feet, nice and flat on the ground.

Then lift your spine, chin parallel to the ground.

Close your eyes.

Take a couple of nice deep breaths in and out through your nose and starting to settle down, reminding yourself that there’s nowhere else to be. There’s nothing else to do right now. We’re just here together.

Make sure that your palms are facing down on your knees or your thighs to start.

And we’re going to get into a very gentle swaying motion front to back. You don’t have to time it with the breath exactly. You can just continue your deep breaths and keep your sits bones rooted on the cushion or on your chair, and letting your back come forward and back.

Imagine like a Palm tree or a Willow tree, depending where you live just swaying in the wind, forward and back, forward and back. Very gentle, very subtle. It doesn’t have to be a big movement, but you start to feel that you’re starting to slow down the movement even more now.

Start to tune into your breath, which is coming all the way down. Nice and full inhales and very full exhales.

Over the next few moments, making your sway even more subtle until finally over the next few breaths, you come to complete stillness, right in the center.

Spine lifted chin parallel to the ground.

We focus our attention now on our third eye, right between our two physical eyes and a bit higher.

I want you to keep your focus right there, right at your third eye.

Setting the Intention for Today

As I introduce our intention, you can say it to yourself silently or you can listen to my words, and keep drawing your attention up to that third eye. As if there’s a warm white light right there like a spotlight.

I Am calm and still from within.

I Am calm and still from within.

I Am calm and still from within.

I Am calm and still from within.

I Am calm and still from within.

I know that no matter what happens in my life, whatever life brings me, I have access to this place of deep peace, calmness and stillness inside of me.

There is this well I can drink from always of calmness, peace and stillness, that is always, always inside of me.

I Am calm and I am still from, with it.

 

Take a couple more deep breaths right here, right now, focusing on that light, your third eye, nice deep, full breaths.

And if you’d like to sit in the stillness for longer, please continue to do so.

Otherwise very gently, we’re going to bring our hands together into prayer pose, Anjali Mudra, in front of our hearts.

Take a moment to bow your head.

Feel from this deep well of stillness, a merging, powerful, expansive energy of gratitude, swelling up from your heart for anything and everything you feel gratitude for.

I am so grateful for you. So grateful that we are here right now. It’s amazing.

I wish you all the peace in the world.

Om shanti om. Peace and love. Namaste.
