MB Day 15: Connection

by DoinTheGratefulDance

My notes from Day 15 of the 21 Day Meditation Challenge
In today’s meditation, we will experience our body in its essential state . . . as pure consciousness, pure light, and pure intelligence.

“From the center of my soul a flower grows inside me, A love that makes me whole, a budding love that sets me free.”  ~ Marilyn von Waldner

he body is a self-repairing aspect of the field of intelligence. Its original state is perfect balance and order . . . it is pure consciousness, pure light, and pure energy. It is part of the extended body of the universe.

In today’s meditation, we will experience our light body and the extended body of the cosmos.

Today’s meditation is led by Deepak Chopra, M.D.

Today’s meditation establishes your connect ion with your larger body, your cosmic body.  Start with So-Hum, the inbreath So, outbreath Hum, Repeat.  Do this for five minutes.

Let go of So/Hum.  Put your awarness in your whole body.  Feel your whole body all at once.

Your body is a self-interacting, self reacting intelligent field of consciousness.  Your body, in it’s original state, is perfect balance, perfect integration, perfect order, perfect harmony, pure consciousness, pure intelligence, pure light.

Feel your body with that one idea.  My body is a field of pure consciousness, pure intelligence, pure light.  Every cell in your body is bubbling with intelligent energy and light.

Experience your light body.  Know that your light body is one with the cosmos because the whole cosmos is the same field of intelligence, the same field of consciousness, the same field of light.  Become one with the light of the universe.

Keep feeling your light body with the light of the universe.  (God for me)

Let go of all ideas and relax into your body and open your eyes.

This meditation takes you further into what we call the unity and integration of your body with the cosmic body.

If you practice this more and more, your body will feel lighter and more energetic and return to it’s original state of wholeness.

My “I’m Grateful For…” Journal

by DoinTheGratefulDance

Years ago Oprah invited me – well, all of us  – to make a list of three things that we are grateful for.  I did it.  I had done it before but not on a consistent basis and almost never when I most needed to do it – when it was the most difficult to do.  Now I rarely miss a day.  When I am quiet for my bedtime meditation, I go over the positive things that happened that day.

It has become a habit.   Some days it takes the same effort as praying and thanking God for my situation – no matter what my circumstances.  Even when I’m angry, even when I’m crying, even when I’m feeling there is nothing to be thankful for.  But I always find something.    It’s an exercise in discipline but it does change my attitude.

And it has changed my life.
