A Day filled with Balance

Today's full moon brought with it the endings I have been looking forward to and with it the brightness to look to the light of the future. The full harvest moon shown so bright in the night sky tonight giving way to a cleansing that I have not felt in a very long time. I'm sure most of my readers know that I am a Hypnotherapist. I know that my art and chakra meditations hold presence over the majority of the posts on my blog, but I would like to take you to a place of total relaxation. When someone practices meditation it is the same thing as being hypnotized. Except for the fact that it is self induced instead of being guided. You become totally relaxed, which in turn allows you to reach your higher self. The ultimate purpose of meditation. Some people think that they can not reach that higher state and so they become frustrated with themselves and give up trying to meditate. The whole trick to being able to meditate is to learn to relax. So I would like to take you through a relaxation and cleansing, so that you are able to meditate. Meditation has many benefits. Self healing, self esteem, visualisation practices, even manifesting your dreams. Without the ability to fully relax, one can not hope to change anything in their lives. We are composed of energy, and when we are able to slow ourselves down to a frequency compatible to a meditative state wonderful changes are within our reach. So let us start.
Sit in a quiet place free from TV, phones and the distractions of the world around you. Close your eyes and breath in deeply and slowly in through your nose to the count of five. Filling your entire diaphragm with air. Envision the air being of white light, filling your lungs and belly with cleansing white light. Hold it to the slow count of five and exhale through your mouth to a slow count of five. While exhaling, envision the air coming out of your mouth as gray air, watch all the toxins being released from your body as you exhale. Now, do it again. Breath in through your nose, seeing the white cleansing light filling your body with clean air to the count of five. Hold it to the slow count of five and exhale, seeing the gray toxins leaving you again to the count of five. Now while breathing in you are going to see the white light surrounding your feet and ankles, feel the tension leaving your feet and ankles as you exhale. Inhaling again seeing the white light rising to your calves and surrounding them with white healing light, you feel them relax and release all tensions as you exhale. Now inhale again, the white light is traveling up around your knees, releasing all the tensions, keep going, up to the thighs, feel the white light release all the tensions in your entire legs now. Fully relaxed. While taking in yet another deep healing breath feel the white light fill your abdomen, pelvic girdle all the way up to your torso, exhale and feel all the muscles relax and tingle. Keep going, breath in and fill your chest all the way to your shoulders and as you exhale, feel the relaxation throughout your entire body. Now your neck, arms, all the way to the tips of your fingers, feel the white light cleanse and relax all the muscles, relieving you of all the tension while you exhale. Now around your head, face, sinus passages, ears, throat, behind your eyes, your jaw and to the top of your head, taking in healing white light, feel all the pressures just fade away. Breath normal now enjoying the pleasure of this full relaxation, this healing gift from god and the universe. Allow yourself to feel grateful for all the wonderful things in your life, your health, the people you love, your ability to heal yourself, this gift of total relaxation. Stay focused on your breath so that your mind does not wander. Now is there something you seek answers to? Throw them out there and then quiet your mind again and listen.
I do this before I go to sleep at night. It helps me to relax from the days tensions and to give thanks for all the wonders in my life. When you practice this often enough, you will begin to find that you are able to bring yourself to this place with little effort any time you need to shut down for two to three minuets during a stressfull day. Pretty soon, you will be able to command your body to relax but it does take practice. It takes time to train your body to do anything so don't get discouraged if you don't get there right away. Keep working on it, you'll accomplish not only relaxation but a whole lot more once you are trained. Meditation can happen spontaneously with practice.
I'll leave you with this, work on it as the benefits far surpass the time it takes to learn to relax.
I hope your day was a wonderful as mine. Bliss to you
