Monday Meditation- vitality

Happy Monday

susanne van hulst

Let's try a vitalizing meditation  -

Sit as comfortable and as upright as possible.

rest your hands open and uncross your legs

drop your shoulders and slightly tuck in your chin

breath through your nose

smile... yes... put a smile on your face

keep your eye focused on something just above you or half close them... or... if you like close them all the way... whichever feels the most comfortable for you.

Now take slow, deep breaths and tell yourself to relax with each breath.

pay attention to your breaths as you tell each part of your body to relax from your head down to your feet.

when you are relaxed repeat to yourself "I am vital, life is energizing"

say it to yourself with each breath

As you say this, bring your attention to a spot about three inches to the left of your chest area and inward toward the center of your body (your core).

imagine that you have a fire hydrant at the center of your being and that the hydrant is connected to a high-pressured energy-giving, life-force. see this, feel this, touch this with your imagination

now imagine that from the hydrant are hoses and those hoses are your arms and legs, feet and hands.

inhale and as you exhale, turn on the hydrant. feel this life-giving, energy-force flow through your body. feel it rush down to your toes and out to your fingertips. then feel this energy flowing beyond you and out into the world.

this is life-giving water. this is revitalizing energy. this is what keeps us alive and vibrant. this force keeps us vital. see it. feel it. taste it. touch it with your imagination. hear it rush from your core… through you arms and legs and out of you hands and feet. imagine this vital, vibrant, life-giving energy flowing out of you and being shared with the world. YOU are vital, vibrant, energizing, life-giving.

when you are finished, tell yourself that you will be more energized and that the water of the world and the life-force energy with you will nourish you and help you to grow and prosper. then pause a moment and appreciate the life-force energy that is you.
