we now explore #2 which is . . .

Meditate Peace

The second most common suggestion most people thought each and every one of us could “do” to manifest world peace is: MEDITATE.

Now while we are talking about things to “DO” to manifest peace, meditation is a form of allowing ourselves to just “BE.” Ideally, it is important to just “be” instead of “doing” anything. Though sometimes in the “human realm” we need actual skills, or things to “do” that will help us “be.”

First, I would like to address the subject of meditation in general, and then I would like to address how to meditate peace.

Most of us have tried one form of meditation or another. Basically meditation is quieting the mind or going within. Taking a break from the every day stresses. Some people use some sort of formal meditation or technique, while others consider a walk in the park to be a meditation. The purpose of meditation seems to be to “get out of your head” and to connect with Spirit. To be still enough to allow us to hear that “still small voice within.” I would like to share with you two forms of meditation that have been helpful to me on my spiritual journey.

One is as simple as connecting with the breath. Upon the inhale say to yourself, “God is…” and upon the exhale “I am…” This helps establish the connection you have with your Divine Source. I do this breathing and affirmation for as many times as needed until I am in a state of peace and quiet.

The other powerful meditation I enjoy is one Eckhart Tolle talks about in his book The Power of Now. He calls it “flooding your body with consciousness.” Basically, to get a visual of this, imagine a garden hose attached to your feet filling up your body with water. The water would start at your feet and then move up, up, up until it reached your neck and then would go out to your arms and then fill up your head. Now we can flood our body with consciousness; meaning that we focus our attention and energy inward starting at our feet and then bring our attention to each area of our body up through our head. When I first started this meditation I had to picture a white light moving up through my body. But now I can just go into my body and feel the energy of my body in each area. It is most important to just get a feeling of your inner body at each of those areas, sensing that energy inside your body.

This is such a powerful meditation if you continue to work with it, because it takes you out of your body, out of your awareness of the human shell, and connects you with Spirit, that Universal life force.

Now, I’ve just given you two meditations that I have found useful on my spiritual path. But what about meditating peace? What does that mean?

When I am in a state of inner quietness or stillness sometimes I will add visualization to my meditation. I will meditate peace by seeing myself in my mind’s eye filled with absolute peace and perfection. I will then see people that I know surrounded in a cocoon of peace and love. Then I will see in my mind’s eye the planet earth. I will see it bathed in love. I will see a brilliant white light around the earth. I will see people and beings from all over the world and from other dimensions; smiling and responding to that peace and love.

This is a powerful visualization to add to your meditation. You have included yourself, and then extended that energy outward to your immediate connections and then you have extended that energy to the entire planet.

Quantum Physics has already proven that the world is but a reflection back to us of what we “see.” Why not make it a daily practice to visualize and meditate world peace?
