Meditation Hints

I have received hundreds of letters from people who have questions about the process of meditation.
Here are some helpful hints. In meditation practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the the
better you get. Ideally, everyone should meditate every day, whether they practice magic or not.
Meditation is healthy for your spirit, mind and body, for both adults and children. Train your
children from an early age and their lives will be more harmonious and peaceful. By teaching
them to meditate, you are giving them a precious gift-a tool to combat the stresses of life.

If your mind wanders, are you screwing up the meditation? No. Just let yourself go. Eventually you
will be able to focus for longer periods of time. Keep practicing, and don't worry if you can't
visualize objects or scenes for any length of time. Don't panic if you fall asleep. Remember, your
mind follows the routines you set for it.

When you shut your eyes and lie still, your body thinks it is time for sleep. It takes a while for you to
establish a new pattern. Eventually, you will stop falling asleep.

If you are having problems learning to meditate, simply sit for fifteen minutes in a dimly lit room.
Breathe deeply. Try listening to soft music. Light green and blue candles. Think pleasant,
gentle thoughts. Imagine yourself floating with the music. After a few days or weeks of practicing
this pattern, you will be ready to do more thorough meditation sequences.

Practice staring at a candle flame. Don't try to stare at it with great concentration. Look at it calmly
until you feel your eyelids naturally getting heavy. Don't fight the desire to shut your eyes. Let your
eyelids close slowly and restfully.

Practice using positive affirmations daily. "I am happy and healthy." "I am filled with peace and love."
Be sure to word your statements positively. Do not use words like "not", "can't", "won't" etc.

As you practice these simple techniques, call upon your Angel to assist you and you will be pleased
with your progress. If you need further assistance, ask me for help when you call for your next reading.

BLESSINGS,
