Meditation.
We all meditate, whether we are aware of it or not.
When we sit in a comfortable chair or on a warm sunny beach and being made calm and still by a safe and quiet environment we tend to gaze into the fire, or at the sea or sky, and for a little while we are at a point of perfect stillness where even time seems to stand still, almost as if we are in another dimension!
This is the essence of meditation.
If we can then capture this point of stillness and expand on it, bring it into our lives when we need it and finally make it daily a part of our lives, we will enrich those lives and physically, mentally and spiritually, be much the better for it.
Meditation is, at its simplest, stilling the mind.
Even a few minutes a day can lower the blood pressure and support the heart, structuring half an hour, twice a day for meditation, can in stressful people be a life saver! Meditation allows us to put life back into perspective and gives spontaneity and joy a chance to once again emerge.
In this
day and age with its frantic activity there is a real need to create a quiet
space in our lives in a regular and disciplined way, for some people it makes
the difference between chaos and control in their lives!

on a Green Apple!
Place a Green shiny apple on a table or stool in front of you. After bringing yourself to a point of stillness and calm, sit erect on the floor or in a chair in a manner that is comfortable to you, and ground yourself. Take three deep breaths and exhale slowly to balance and calm, begin to gaze at the apple, exploring its shape, and roundness, its colour and shininess, notice any marks or dark patches on it, notice if it has a stork, and perhaps a bit of dried leaf attached to it, notice and explore the entire apple, even the sharp fresh smell that it has, and spend some moments doing this, Now cover your eyes with your palms and continue to see the image of the green apple, look at its shape and all of the details that you saw, if you cannot bring the image to your inner mind screen, open your eyes and again gaze at the apple, take one detail at a time, again close your eyes and see the apple, don’t worry if you only get fleeting glances and then the image fades, try again and again whilst you are still comfortable with the meditation, if you can not see the shape of the apple, try to see the colour green that it is, see and feel this colour, breath it in and with it the sharp, crisp smell of the apple, feel that you can almost taste it! and then add the shape as you succeed. Do not force yourself to persevere beyond the time that you feel comfortable with this exercise, close your eyes again and relax, becoming aware of your body and your surroundings for a few moments before gently ending the session. Persevere with this short meditation until you can see, smell and almost taste the apple, and when you succeed, with joy and deliberation—eat the apple!
Close your eyes, and bring yourself to a point of stillness....breath gently and for a few minutes, focus on the breath..... ......in your minds eye see a beautiful golden sun above your head...and feel the gentle heat of the sun warming and invigorating you...feel the gentle warmth spreading slowly over your whole body and feel the glow spread both within and without your body.....breath deeply.....and as you breath feel that with the suns rays you are breathing in energy.....strength....and enthusiasm.....continue to breath in sun energy until you feel totally balanced and energised. allow yourself to slowly bring your attention back to the space that you are in.....open your eyes and smile!

A Meditation in green on the Heart Chakra
After bringing yourself to a point of stillness through relaxation, take three deep breaths, and with each exhale allow yourself to sink deeper into calm and peace.
Imagine that you are standing on the side of a gentle hill in beautiful countryside, the sun is pleasantly warm on your face, you look about and see a small wood at the bottom of the hillside, you walk towards it and as you enter you are aware of the delicious coolness after the suns warmth, the earthy smell of the wood, and the delicate scent of woodland flowers. You follow a little path that winds around the trees and shrubs, the wood is very open allowing sunlight to softly filter thro’.
You notice the soft green moss that abounds on the woods floor, and small white daisy-like flowers that grow in neat bunches; there is the scent of honeysuckle and wild rose. Look up at the soft green canopy of leaves and feel the filtered rays of the sun on your face, stand for a moment and bathe in its healing warmth.
Slowly walking on you come to a beautiful area of soft downy grass, you lie down because it is so inviting, and you feel the coolness of the grass, and the closeness of the warm earth.
You close your eyes and breath in, and as you breathe you imagine that you are breathing beautiful soft green energy of the wood, feel this energy flooding through your body and surrounding your heart with healing, peace and calm. Allow this energy to completely fill you and to surround your heart like loving hands.
After a while you feel ready to continue, and although you allow the green energy to return to its woodland home you retain the soft green energy hands that warm and support your heart.
Continuing your walk, you re-emerge from the little wood, into the full warmth of the sun, and slowly climb up the hillside to where you began.
Standing in the gentle warmth you lovingly begin to close your energy centres beginning with the crown chakra by visualizing a cross of light enclosed in a circle of lights, and placing them around each of the Chakras to lock them, and ending with the base chakra.
When you feel ready you very slowly and gently bring your consciousness back into the present, and gently and in your own time—
“May the blessings of illumination
and enlightenment
be with you!”
