Using Meditation to Support Others
January Meditation Challenge Day 25: A Healing Meditation to Transform Negativity Into LightFollowing on from yesterday’s meditation, it can be really hard to see someone you care about hurt or in pain. You can use meditation to send that person love and healing.
Find somewhere quiet where you won’t be disturbed and make yourself comfortable. Turn your attention to your breath and be really observant of it. Don’t try to control it in any way, simply watch it flowing in and out of your body. If any intrusive thoughts come out, simply allow them to flow away with the breath.
Before you start sending your healing, offer up a prayer to wherever you feel appropriate – your Higher Self, the Divine, the Universe, God, etc. – that the healing you send only be received with permission and should the focus of your meditation not want healing for any reason, that it go to wherever it is most needed for the highest good.
Think of the focus of your intention. It could be a friend going through a difficult time, an animal which is suffering or even someone you don’t know but care about their situation.
When you are ready, inhale deeply and as you exhale, feel yourself breathing out a white, healing light in their direction, channeling pure energy from the universe.
On your next inhalation, breathe in the negativity of your focus. Allow that negative energy to lift from them and flow into your heart where that universal energy washes it clean.
With each exhalation, breathe out more and more of that healing light, allowing it to wash over your focus, freeing them, cleaning their energy, offering them pure, unconditional healing if they want it.
With each inhalation breathe in more negativity, allowing your focus to be come lighter and healed as you ease their suffering.
When you feel that you have offered as much healing as you can, know that any negativity you have removed has been transformed into the purest universal energy. Allow yourself to bask in that healing white light, breathing it out to those who need it and breathing it in to fill your entire being.
When you feel you have finished, sit with your breath for a little longer and when you are ready, open your eyes.
