Meditation from John Holland

I wanted to share with you this mediation from John Holland – this guy is simply amazing!!!!!

John’s Lesson

So let’s get started. Make yourself comfortable, close your eyes, take a few slow, deep breaths and relax.

Bring your awareness to the bottom of your feet. Let your breath assist you in transferring the relaxing energy up through the bottom of your feet. Slowly, work your way up your calves, your thighs, your abdomen, chest, your fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, face, right to the top of your head. Now at the top of your head, I want you to imagine there is one big funnel starting to form, which reaches out into the universe. Think of it as a vortex of energy reaching upward.

Let your awareness constantly flow up and out of your head and into this funnel that’s opening up above you. All the information you want can now be accessed and brought to you. You may want to imagine a shimmering ball or cloud of white light above this funnel. Now reach up with your mind, as if you are floating and blending with this brilliant white light. Slowly merge yourself into this space, as you continue to reach up and out of your body with your mind.

Take a few moments with this energy, and feel what it’s like to be calm and centered, and to be one with your higher mind.

Now it’s time to ask your higher mind a question. For example:

* Is there someone you would like to get along with but you’re not sure how to go about it?
* Is there a question about your job that you need guidance on?
* Are you wondering what is stopping you from reaching your goals?

You can even ask if there’s something that your intuition has been trying to tell you. Ask your higher mind how you can be more receptive when it’s trying to communicate with you. You may want to ask, “What steps can I take to improve my life and spiritual development?” Ask one question at a time, and wait for a response. Take whatever answers come to you. You may receive a symbol, words or even a feeling.

Don’t be surprised if your higher mind also chooses to make known a certain area of your life that you’re neglecting. Sometimes you don’t always get what you asked for – but what you need. Remember what you have received, so that you can bring the information and answers back into your conscious mind.

It’s now time to bring your awareness back into your body. Don’t worry, as you’ll be able to go back to this special place anytime you wish. Slowly take a breath and let it assist you in coming back to the present. Feel yourself shifting down into your body, entering through the open funnel. Move your fingers and toes, and slowly open your eyes to become fully aware of your body and the room around you.

Don’t worry if you feel as though you did not get an answer immediately. You may get the answer another way or even a day or two later, or maybe even from someone else unexpectedly. Be open and let your higher mind speak to you in all its various ways. As always, keep your journal handy for when you come out of the meditation, so you can take the time to interpret what the words, feelings, and symbols mean specifically to you.

I often teach this technique in my psychic development workshops, but in the early stages of development, I encourage my students to start off by asking small questions at first, so they can familiarize themselves with the meditation, and learn to differentiate their conscious thinking from their higher minds.

You’ll know when your higher mind is speaking and answering your questions, because you’ll feel a sense of smoothness to what you’re receiving. The answers will not sound like your regular mind chatter. I want to stress again here, that any information you may receive from your higher mind should always be of a positive nature. Ask yourself the same question once again, “Is this coming to me or from me?”

This meditation can be used as a mini-meditation anytime you need it – especially during stressful times in your life, when you may need an intuitive solution. Try to get into the habit of shifting up and accessing your higher mind at least once a day. With practice, you’ll be able to seek insightful guidance anytime you wish. By using this lesson, it will give you a sense of transformation and inner wisdom that can reach into every aspect of life, and could possibly be the key to open the door to an old friend – your soul.

Uriel’s Message — Love Generously by Jennifer Hoffman

Just as your forgiveness should be unconditional, given generously to all without judgment and flowing from you to others in an effortless stream, so should you love others with the unconditional love that resides within you. You often share this love in controlled, measured ways, giving to those who have proven they deserve it or whose love you are grateful for but it should be shared fully, generously and without limitation, to everyone. Do not judge who you should love, be willing to love everyone so that love can be returned to you.

Unconditional love is more than what you know of romance, it encompasses acceptance, gratitude, divinity, connection and truth. It is mindful of the place of each person in the family of humanity, of the shared experience of suffering and potential for ascension. Love given generously is always returned to you multiplied, but not always from the person to whom it is given. When you judge others’ capacity for love and use that to limit how you love them, you also limit the love you can receive in your own life from all sources.

How can you love those who hurt you? By remembering that they are part of your path because you chose them. Can you love your enemies? Who is your enemy, the one who hurts you? These are often your greatest teachers. Those who remind you of your lessons in power are those who are your most loving teachers, this is how you see them in spirit and this is why you should be generous with your love to everyone.

Unconditional love is a gift of spirit, not to be confused with the love the ego recognizes as being deserved or owing. When you love generously you are allowing your divinity to shine brightly in your life and allow that light to become a beacon that attracts the love you seek. It will come to you for as you release judgments about love, you remove the blocks to love. Make love your practice with each person, so you give love generously in the spirit of acceptance of who they are, gratitude for their role in your life and you in theirs, see their divinity, remember you are all connected and the only truth that exists is that you are all of spirit.
