Envision in your mind, the earth in front of you as you
float through space. Picture yourself reaching out and
projecting a luminous white energy upon the entire
earth, lighting it gradually until it is a bright, white,
spinning ball of peace, love and understanding.
State your intentions in your mind as you do this,
which might sound something like "My Intention is to
create peace on earth", or "Peace and Love for all of
Humanity".
This, of course, is not the only method. Be creative.
Any visual you can imagine where peace prevails on
earth is a good method - your method. This can also
be applied to healing your physical body, or healing
others, even at remote distances. Envision the loving
light of the creator entering the body, and returning it
to a state of health and peace with the universe.
Meditation can also be used to improve performance,
whether it's athletic or academic. Simply allow yourself
to enter into a relaxed, meditative state and picture
yourself in a future situation. Allow all your five senses
to accurately portray the upcoming situation. Feel the
sweat, hear the applause, see yourself performing with the outcome you wish to see. Every thought, every
expectation of what we visualize happening in the future - is a prayer and tends to create that very future.
This type of meditation, called mental rehearsal, is the difference between an olympic-level athlete and an
amateur, for the mind cannot distinguish between something imagined, and something performed.
The most important thing with meditation is consistency. I personally like to meditate in the morning, to
gather the necessary energy for the day to allow me to transcend control drama's, and at night to reflect on
and release any built up stresses or emotions from the day's events. The more you meditate, the more you
will enjoy it and see it's benefits.
