Healing Connection Light Meditation

This meditation uses visualization of light and color and enables you to feel connected to both your "physical" self and your "spiritual" self. It is extremely calming, as it helps you to feel "grounded".

You may find it helpful to picture the upper source of light as coming from your concept of "God" or a higher power, although this is not necessary.

• Choose a comfortable position and begin by closing your eyes and breathing deeply and rhythmically.



• Visualize a source of clean, white light above your head. It pours down onto you, entering your body through the top of your head. It flows down through your body, illuminating and cleansing every cell of your body. You feel it purifying as it cleans out any impurities, tension, stress or pain.



• The light continues its journey through your body, coming out of your feet, into the ground and down towards the center of the earth.



• Feel the immense pleasure that the light brings as it relaxes and nourishes you.



• Now visualize a bright, clear green light coming up from the center of the earth, and entering your body through your feet.



• Feel it travel up your legs and through every part of your body as it heals and nourishes you with the essential elements of the earth.



• As the green light continues up, it exits from the top of your head and continues flowing upward.



• Feel the connection to both the spiritual and physical (earthly) aspects of yourself as both lights flow through you, white from above and green from below. Feel them combine in a bright blend of healing nourishment that bathes your body and spirit in healing, nourishing energy.



• When you are ready, allow the lights to begin to fade, but retain the calm, nourished feeling from the lights as you continue to breathe calmly and bring your attention back to the present.



• Slowly stretch and open your eyes.

The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness
by Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, Jon Kabat-Zinn
Amazon Price: $13.57
Customer Review: If this book was about mindfulness practice, may be I would have given it four or five. But since it's supposed to be a book about depression, I can't be very enthusiastic.

The book explains very well and in great detail the different mindfulness practices much better than some of the pure mindfulness books I must say.
