Conscious Creation Tip

Meditation –Sending and Receiving

Most people think of meditation as a no-thought process where you blank your mind or recite a mantra (remember the funny Ellen DeGeneres commercial?). But for most of us meditation is really our quiet time to communicate with the Universe—both sending and receiving! I like to divide my meditation time in two parts. The first is for me to express my requests to the Universe (or God, however you interpret The Source.) Some would consider this praying. For me, it’s my time to visualize and Consciously Co-Create in dialogue with the unlimited power that surrounds and supports me. Here’s where I make my requests, express my desires, state what I wish to evolve into, invite the gifts and grace that will allow me to grow, ask for answers to my questions. Now the second part is where I clear my mind with the specific goal to receive. I set an intention to receive knowledge and wisdom, love and peace. I ask the Universe to tell me what it wants me to know during this open and quiet time. And I let my blood pressure drop as I step away from my mind and into my heart, knowing that all is well. Now you could recite a mantra, focus on your breathe, be mindful of your body organs or do other practices that keep you routed in the present, but just opening yourself up to receive and staying clear to do that is also a simple and effective form of meditation.
