Allow your body to relax naturally and easily. As you begin to rest and drift into peace, image yourself in a beautiful white room with a white healing table in the center. Everything around you feels soft, warm, safe and nurturing. The room is lit with a soft, glowing white light, and the window is open bringing in a warm summer breeze. Everything smells fresh like nature. You can hear the gentle sounds of a waterfall outside and a stream moving nearby.
Lie down comfortably on the soft, fluffy cushions of the healing table, and start to anticipate a powerful healing. Open yourself to receive. The room fills slowly with a light mist carrying a minty scent. Breathe it in and be refreshed. As the minty green mist enters your lungs, it charges your blood, skin, heart and brain , and internal organs with oxygen and life-giving energy. Continue to breathe it in and feel the peace that it brings.
The body is malleable. That is it can be changed and reconstructed easily through the direction of the mind as well as its innate ability and nature of continuously shedding and constructing new cells. The mind can mold the body in its continuous process of change and renewal. Expect positive change!
Let go now, and place your body in the hands of the Divine spirit within you that can do miracles. Allow your body to be re-formed, re-patterned, and healed. Get a mental picture of yourself in excellent health. Rest in this picture and notice how natural it feels. Allow angelic healing hands to touch your body soothing, healing and instantly transforming areas of pain or congestion. Feel any discomfort reduce and gradually disappear.
Feel the light pressure of the angel’s fingers; feel them massaging your body, light in spots, deep in other areas.
Now feel detached from your body, and observe it being healed.
What’s taking place? These healers are real. The healing energy and power of the divine are real. Trust it to do its work. Intend for your body to be changed, healed. New colors are entering your body from above specifically to heal areas of stress and pain. Feel electrical currents sparking through your body and brain adjusting your nervous system to perfect balance and harmony. Allow your body’s chemistry to alter and change as toxins are removed, and your blood and body are cleansed. Experience this in your own unique way. New shapes and patterns are forming within your DNA, bringing you peace and strength. There are powerful symbols of healing coming into your awareness through these designs. Enjoy them.
Now, look up and see an angelic being holding a lit candle moving toward you. Look into that candle flame and see illuminated there a deep part of yourself. What do you see? What is it telling you? Listen to the meaning.
The angel sets the candle down on a table by your bedside. All is very quiet, and the flickering flame dances across the walls. Be still. Go deeper. Someone is calling your name. Who is it? She or he has healing words for you. Listen to them carefully. Now, a song begins to play. What is it? How does it apply to your healing?
A woman walks up to your bedside and places her hands on your head. She moves it gently from side to side, rolling it rhythmically. She touches the center of your forehead and says, “See what you need to see, understand what’s important now.” “Get your answers.” Be open and receptive to knowing. It will come naturally to you now.
Now feel a bright, shiny, glittering gold liquid come into the bottom of your feet and move up your legs, into your torso and arms, and higher into your neck and head. This liquid has an accelerated frequency and intelligence that brings you higher awareness, new insights, rejuvenation, elimination of the old, and deep healing change in your body and mind. Enjoy it as it penetrates your cells and DNA.
Realize that your cells, tissue, organs, are being made new and better, healed. Glow with the golden color of spirituality and triumph. Focus the gold on a particular part of your body that needs attention. Let it go deep, to the root of the problem. Experience the shift, the change.
Give thanks and return to this room when you’re ready.

Lectio Divina (‘divine reading’) is only slightly more involved than the technique of contemplative prayer. The physical mechanics are almost identical to other meditation techniques. The primary difference is that in the previous exercise you have a single word that is repeated (to the point that any thought of meaning is lost and attention is focused on the simple act of repetition), but in lectio divina the meditator has chosen a phrase from the bible to read repeatedly while considering closely the meaning of that text.
Historically, the Psalms have provided much material for this Christian technique, but really any book in the Bible will have plenty of useful verses. Taking a well known Psalm as an example, we can look at Ps. 23: “The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I lack. In green pastures You let me graze, to safe waters You lead me; You restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of Your name. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for You are at my side; Your rod and staff give me courage.”
Once the meditator has established a quiet space (as in contemplative prayer), he or she can quietly read through the chosen verse. Initially, the thoughts and impressions which arise as a result of mindfully going through the lines will be pretty generic, surface level material. That’s fine. It’s how our minds work.
But as the practitioner of this Christian meditation technique continues to read through and really begin to taste the meaning of the text, the message begins to morph from a general statement written to billions of people scattered over thousands of years into a message spoken just for the reader.
The message becomes a message of love from God sent directly to His child.
In that frame of mind, the meditator can begin to allow the words of the message to fade from awareness. However, instead of an absence, a simple sitting and resting with God can be experienced. When speaking of meditative experience we are often stuck using metaphorical language to describe it; in this case, the feeling engendered by lectio divina is not unlike the felt experience had by the small child who has been running around, laughing and playing (maybe even getting into a bit of trouble). Finally acknowledging his exhaustion and coming to his mother or father, he climbs into their lap, and simply rests in that secure embrace. In this case, we are the child and God is our loving parent who wraps His love around us.
Through both Christian meditation techniques of contemplative prayer and lectio divina, the expectation is that, over time, this repeated exposure to spending restful time in communion with our Father will produce wholesome changes in our spirit: unruly passions like anger and greed will wither, while healthy impulses toward compassion and a desire to fulfill God’s will in our lives grow. I address the usefulness of that assumption in other writings, but it is clear that either or both of these practices can make a powerful impact on the spiritual life of the Christian willing to explore them.

Is it possible to focus on positive thoughts, and train the mind to think rationally? In short, yes – It is possible. However, training the mind is more difficult than training the body. If we are overcome by irrational fear, or extreme misery, it is even more difficult to focus on reality and positive thoughts.
Training the mind is a daily ritual for mental maintenance and cultivation of positive energy. One method for training the mind is to focus on ideas that bring us to calmer states of mind. Each of us has something that gives us inner strength. Some Karma Yoga practitioners cultivate a greater sense of calm, by doing for others.
We all have friends, family, or a pet. If we help someone in need, this creates a state of inner calm, where we feel needed, and our problems appear to be smaller. Focusing on others is the polar opposite of focusing on our internal negative thoughts. When we focus on thoughts that overwhelm us with fear, we see our problems as larger than life itself.
If you are going to open the door to your mind, you can choose the direction to travel. For many people, it is easy to see themselves as helpless, to participate in worthless habits, and to see others in a negative light. The frame of mind we have is a choice.
It is true that none of us is perfect. At the same time, Yoga is a system which helps all of us train our minds through meditation, and use these practical applications in daily life. Yogic science is constantly evolving in many directions. Yoga continues to change with each century, but training the mind has always been an advanced Yogic practice.
Within the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali describes Eight Limbs. These are eight methods for improving life. Four of the eight are directly related to meditation. A novice does not attain Samadhi during the first practice. The novice does not know what Samadhi is, and an advanced practitioner may not be able to attain it.
To practice meditation with the purpose of purging irrational fear or extreme misery, will require some guidance from a competent guru or counselor. This allows one to feel the foundation of this mental exercise we call “meditation.” Once meditation is mastered, it should be practiced daily. The ultimate reward of meditation is when the mind becomes one’s best ally.

Meditation…physical nourishment for mind and body, spiritual nourishment for heart and soul. Christians, atheists, Buddhists and New Age believers may all practice meditation. Some sincere and concerned Christians who did not grow up with a tradition of meditation wonder whether it can be a healthy practice for them.
Yet it shouldn’t surprise us that non-Christians can access the physical blessings of meditation. The enriching physical showers of meditation nourish those who love Him-and they also nourish those who don’t even know He exists! After all…”He sends rain on the just, and on the unjust too”!
Whatever our beliefs may be, we all live in the world God created. Our lives are always better when we walk in the paths He has laid out for us. And meditation, with effects both spiritual and physical, is part of God’s plan.
More and more, research has shown us the positive physical effects associated with meditation. We’ve seen how the healing showers released during meditation are good for mind and body. And there’s nothing wrong with benefiting from that process. Physical blessings are a part of the natural world, here for us to enjoy, and to nourish and bless us.
But meditation is also a powerful way to open our hearts to intimate relatedness with God. When we engage in the physical processes associated with meditation, we begin to touch the edges of God’s plan for our spiritual lives, coming in through the “back door” by way of our psychophysical experience.
Sometimes, people who are seeking meaning and spiritual experience in their lives reject God, but still enjoy the positive physical and emotional effects of meditation.
After a while, they experience the growing openness of their heart, and begin to think of their meditation as spiritual. When that happens, they begin to direct their spiritual longing toward their own psychophysical interactions.
Sam Harris is an atheist who calls religious beliefs “ludicrous”, and sees belief in a true God as the source of war, violence, persecution and social ills. Yet he practices Zen meditation and believes in the value of “mystical experience”. He doesn’t believe in God, yet he experiences (to use Pascal’s imagery) the open space within him that only God can fill. He values entering that space, but when he gets there, he doesn’t allow God to fill the space. He values the space, the longing, the waiting-to-be-filled. His meditation is ultimately an empty experience, one that satisfies some psychological and physical needs, but which never engages in contact and intimacy with the One who created those needs.
Buddhist mediation is being taught and practiced around the world, and it’s especially popular with spiritual seekers here in the United States. Spreading warmth and enlightenment based ultimately on the simple experience of following your breath, there’s no relationship or encounter with any actual external reality of God, and certainly no personal relationship with a Savior. There is only letting go of self and connection with an everything that is also nothing.
For those who grew up in a Christian culture, that connection to oneness-with-everything is sometimes thought of as a connection to God, but that is a lack of understanding of what Buddhism teaches. Buddhist “oneness” is a non-personal everything and nothing, with no form or content, no communion with another personality, and no demands. The only truth is that there is no Truth, and the only reality is that nothing is really real. Love and hate, war and peace, life and death…in the final analysis, neither one matter, because nothing is real, including the “person” who is pondering the questions.
Practicing Buddhists spend many hours meditating, with an attitude of openness and even desiring spiritual experience. They develop a strong neural framework for spiritual experience, and a longing to let go of self and become part of something greater than they, but they do not open to relationship with the One who created the framework and fulfills that longing by entering into our hearts and recreating us in Him.
The simple physical practice of meditation does, in and of itself, cause positive effects. The nourishing biochemical showers encourage neuronal regeneration, enhance health, and calm the spirit. Those biochemical showers nourish our bodies and our brains, and there’s a warm sweetness to many who meditate. For many who are seeking meaning, the physical and emotional effects of meditation have become the goal, and those changes become evidence of spiritual meaning.
New Age believers value the experience of meditation. “New Age” is a broad term with little well-defined content, but those who claim that name often do meditate, and they do so for spiritual reasons, in addition to a desire for the physical and emotional benefits.
New Age meditators seek spiritual meaning. They experience the internal stillness of meditation, and the spiritual openness that comes with stillness. They experience the biochemical soothing and healing God has given us. They have a positive emotional experience. And they see that it all happens within them.
Recognizing rightly that the spiritual realm does exist, the response goes something like this: “I experience the longing for God within me. When I meditate, I have a deep, warm emotional experience. That must mean God is within me. And if God is within me, then I must be God, or at least part of God.”
New Age teachings encourage followers to awaken to their own perfection and answer their own prayers. Christian meditation techniques are taught along with Jewish mysticism, Indian chants and various paths to feminine enlightenment. And if the practice of meditation bores you, you can buy a biofeedback video game to put you in touch with the divine within you.
Buddhist and New Age meditators alike have confused the valuable psychophysical experience of meditation with the One on whom we were made to meditate. They’ve fallen in love with dancing in the rain. But they’ve forgotten the Rain Maker.
Yet no matter how many showers we dance in, no matter how many blessings are enjoyed, fallen human nature is still fallen. Paul reminds us that “our natural, earthly lives don’t in themselves lead us by their very “nature” into the kingdom of God. Their very nature is to die so how could they “naturally” end up in the Life kingdom?”
None among us, on our own, become all we were created to be. We are finite and limited, and death comes to us all. All the natural meditation and personal growth in the world won’t change that. We still need help from outside our created selves. We need relationship with the One who made us.
