MEDITATION FOR SAD

Many people in the Northern hemisphere experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) during the winter months because it is less sunny. Here is a meditation that I use with clients that can help. Remember, your subconscious believes that experiences in your imagination are just as real as your waking reality. This is the reason that so many athletes drastically improve their ability with creative visualizations.

So, as you read this story, imagine that it is you on the sun-swept beach…

I would like to tell you a story… About a girl named Mira…
As our story begins… Mira has found herself in a predicament…
She had some health issues and these of course, are tied into other issues, because we know that everything is connected to everything else… We are all related…
And, because we are all related, Mira knew there were certain people, angels and guides that she could turn to for help… Through their assistance, she found help and hope…

So, Mira came to find herself to be on an ancient island of healing…
We don’t really know if this was an actual island or if she used her creative imagination… But then, that is not the important part…

This island was magnificent… The weather was sunny, comfortable, and balmy…
The air was fresh and clean… The ocean sprayed a gorgeous mist onto the island that created rainbows everywhere… There was no more relaxing place in the world…

As Mira came onto this island, she like exploring so she chose to walk in the sunshine a short way from the beach into the warm ocean waves, just as far as she was comfortable going… The ocean waves tossed her gently and lovingly back and forth…
Embedded in the floor of the ocean, a short distance from the beach, were some very large and powerful crystals that imparted a strong healing energy to the water…

Wading in the water, she was peaceful in this warm, calm sea of tranquility…
Soon, she felt a tingling on her skin… This was the supercharged energy of the crystals being absorbed by her skin through the water that was touching her body…

Mira took several moments to direct the healing energy to the part of her body that needed it the most… I am not sure if it was her back or chest area… Or perhaps her heart… Or, perhaps it was several areas of her body, I really don’t know…
And, it did not need to be only one place… Perhaps her entire being was crying out for health and healing…

Anyway, she decided to stay in the water for a time, feeling relaxed and letting the energy work on her in its subtle, benevolent way…
So, pretty soon, she began to see and feel the presence of several tame and loving dolphins swimming up to her… They were attracted by her calmness and the beauty inside her…

Dolphins are master diagnosticians and healers… They added their energy to the energy of the crystals… By this time, she could swim as well as the dolphins because the water was so supercharged with energy… Together with the dolphins, she played and played in the warm, sparkling, healing water… Touching each other, diving and coming up to breathe the beneficent air…

Mira was so enchanted and entranced by her newfound friends that she forgot the original purpose of her swim, which is healing… Yet all the while, her body is absorbing the healing energy from the crystals and the dolphins…

After a while, Mira felt ready to leave the water and go back to the beach… The sand felt so good under her feet… She was comforted by the knowledge that she can return as many times as she wishes…

So special was the water, that immediately, she was dry… Feeling content, joyful and better than she had ever felt before, she sat quietly for a time experiencing the warmth of the sun and the caress of the breezes…

Mira knew she would always have this beautiful sanctuary of healing in her mind and in her heart…

And now, so can you!

Infinite Blessings from your Infinite Angels.

ENLIGHTENMENT

The path to enlightenment is paradoxical and different for everyone. No matter how much the religions of the world fill you up with rules, dogma, and regulations, the end result is that you must realize that you are already enlightened.

Think of the Buddha’s life. He was born Gautama Siddhartha, a wealthy prince and heir to the throne in the region that is now Nepal, India. His father so desperately wanted Siddhartha to inherit the throne that he forbade anyone at the palace to frown, speak of bad news, or exhibit pain in front of the prince. For almost 30 years, Siddhartha was basically kept unconscious; his father refused to allow him to become aware of sickness, old age, or suffering. Even chains of gold are still chains.

When Siddhartha finally left the confines of the palace, he reportedly saw a dying man, a decaying corpse, and a beggar. It is said that he became so depressed that he vowed to become an ascetic until he reached enlightenment. He sat under a tree for weeks. One day, he simply declared that he was enlightened. He then taught what is called the Middle Way, which is avoiding gluttony and also avoiding scarcity.

The brilliant point that I see in the life of Buddha is that he really did nothing out of the ordinary. He simply lived his life. When he felt that he was enlightened, he declared it to be so. He stated the fact, and so it was.

Many great teachers, saints, and guides began their lives with wealth and abundance. However, they had an inner urge to discover more to life. They refused to accept that acquiring material possessions was the only purpose in life. They searched for inner peace. Inner peace is true wealth and is a reflection of the state of enlightenment.

You can connect with Buddha energy in meditation as well as Jesus, Mother Mary, Chief Joseph, or any spiritual master or guide. You can also connect with your Infinite Angels anytime to receive guidance, comfort, and protection.

Remember, enlightenment is not something that you need to strive for; it is something that you only need to remember that you are!

Infinite Blessings from your Infinite Angels.

RESPECT

Don Miguel Ruiz teaches in The Four Agreements that people allow themselves to be abused when they do not have good self-esteem. I would go a step further and state that people with low self-esteem are also people who abuse others.

If you have good self-esteem, it is unnecessary for you to abuse others. A mature person with healthy self-esteem has no need to look down on others, treat them unkindly, or call them names. It simply dissolves from your inner personality. Your disposition slowly becomes a nature of amiability and thoughtfulness.

Habits of good self-esteem are developed just as any other habit is formed. You can ask gentle Archangel Uriel to help you. Archangel Uriel can help you gain clarity to increase good thoughts about yourself and increase your self-respect.

Create a quiet moment in which you can communicate with Archangel Uriel. You can talk out loud, whisper, write a letter, or have a mental conversation with Uriel. Ask Uriel to show you the situations in which you are abusing others. Ask Uriel to help you to forgive yourself and move on. Uriel will assist you in opening your heart to the Divine love of your Infinite Angels.

You can also connect with Angel Metatron, who is especially fond of helping teenagers, to help you to remember your true self-worth and help you to gain confidence in being your authentic self. Your authentic self is not the actor in the movie with the snappy, sarcastic comeback. Your genuine self is a light of divinity that is meant to bring joy, not pain, into the world.

Ask Angel Metatron to help you form habits of complimenting others rather than degrading them. You will soon find that others look forward to your company rather than avoiding you. Ask Metatron to assist you in complimenting yourself when you accomplish small successes of bringing others joy. As you accumulate triumphs, your self-respect and self-esteem will increase.

Infinite Blessings from your Infinite Angels.
