Day 1 of Applying the proper use of will to your practice
Now into the third and final week of the 21 Days of Healing. To help you prepare for today, if it is ok with you, the first parts of this meditation is dynamic. This means we start on our feet. We shake and move quite a bit and then lie down. For maximum effect, keep a bottle of a fragrance or essential oil you love but hardly use, handy. Keep it close to you. We call this the smell of success. We will use it in today’s meditation.

So stand for a moment. You are standing upright, arms on the side. This is the mountain pose. A powerful pose that assures and reflects your confidence. Now you stand tall, chest up and out. Chin up. Arms on your side. Feel yourself firmly supported by the ground. Stand firm but comfortable. You might need to adjust your knees so that you do not put too much pressure on them, by bending them ever so slightly
Close your eyes and look within. Now bring your palms to the prayer position and say after me: God almighty, I hand all the fruits of my practice to you today, wholly and completely, for the benefit of all sentient beings.Say this from your heart and relax in that position.
Now bring your arms back to the mountain pose, arms on your sides and listen to me for a moment.
In the meditations for day 15 and 16 we put the theory of the meditations on Day 13 and 14 into practice. We make the proper application of our will to achieve healing for ourselves. We considered healing to be the transformation of our lives into abundant health, love and wealth. Each of us identified what healing meant to us at this stage of our journey. Some identified specific areas that needed healing such as healing of past traumas, bringing love, peace and harmony into our lives, and bringing comfort from ailments. If we are to categorise, all these fall into one two or all of healing in the areas of health, wealth and love. Healing is shining the light of God to alleviate or ease any discomfort or lack in any of the three areas of love, health and wealth.
On day 14 we explored the proper application of our will. We contemplated on the power that fills, permeates and penetrates every aspect of life. We acknowledged this power as life itself. It is a thinking power, which responds to thoughts to bring about form. When we think, this power responds to us to create what we think or to bring our thoughts into form.
Our duty is to strive to be like this power: Pure, whole and complete. This is done by the nature of our most frequent thoughts.
We acknowledged that after many years of conditioning to flood our minds with only negative thoughts, becoming positive in the face of difficulty feels like being indifferent. Concentrating on positive thoughts as a way of life becomes a real battle. However, that is the battle which we should gladly fight and the more we remember to fight this battle, the more we succeed and the more we succeed the happier we become. The happier we become, the more beautiful our lives turn. We begin attracting health, wealth and love. We experience beauty, wonder and magnificence. We can experience God on a day to day basis.

Now, onto our practice.
Open your eyes and prepare to be very active. Allow space to move your body in any way it dictates to you. Move your body now. You may want to stretch and turn and jump and dance. Just move.
Move and allow yourself to be filled with joy. Move. Move your body.
Keep moving your body. Raise your energy. Move. Allow yourself to move. You may be a little breathless, but move.
If you need to rest a bit, just stand in the upright position. When you regain your breath, move. Move. Keep moving the best way you know how.
Now stop and stand in the upright position. Close your eyes if it feels safe to do so. Feel yourself firmly supported by the earth. Stand firm but comfortable. You might need to adjust your knees so that you do not put too much pressure on them, by bending them ever so slightly.
Imagin a warrior. You are the warrior. How do you look? How do you feel You are the warrior? Feel like a warrior. Stand like a warrior. Pose like a warrior. Now spray your fragrance or smell your essential oil. Commit to remember the feeling of being a warrior. You are a powerful warrior.
Now you want to remember the supreme intelligence but you do not feel like doing that. Then you remember you are a warrior in a battle. Take your pose and become the warrior. See yourself battle in your mind. See yourself win the battle. You are a warrior. Win the fight. Fight the fight and win. You want to think positive thoughts but it is impossible. Everything and everyone around you is negative. It is all negative.
Remember you are the warrior. You are in a battle. Fight the battle and win.

Now you stand tall, chest up and out. Chin up. Arms on your side. You are a warrior. The warrior. How do you feel? How do you look? See yourself win the battle against negativity. You are successful. Spray and smell the smell of success. Relax.

Now lie down and relax. Relax. Allow yourself to relax. Close your eyes and relax. Relax you legs, your abdomen. Relax your back and relax your chest. Relax your arms. Relax. Deeper and deeper. Now your whole body is relaxed. Feel a wave of relation. Relax.
I will read this piece I found recently:
A 2010 study found that if you focus on a negative feeling or mood for just one day, the damaging effects are profound.
Another study showed that simply recalling a prior negative interaction triggers cardiovascular stress.
But perhaps the most shocking discovery is this: negative moods can spread like a virus through an entire community, increasing cardiovascular risk for everyone! But there’s good news as well: you can interrupt the damage by ruminating on positive feelings & thoughts.
Take this moment to just think positive thoughts. I will mention these and let yourself feel the positive thoughts. If you cannot feel them just intend to feel the thought. For example if i say love, you may want to intend love if you cannot love. Allow yourself to feel it if you can. Do not force anything. Just relax and let your subconscious lead you into positive experiences.
Now let us begin:
Love-Feel it. Experience love. Intend to love. Receive love. Give love. Share love.
Peace-feel a wave of peace wash over you. Experience peace as you lie there and relax. Relax and experience peace. Feel peace. See yourself in a peaceful place and enjoy the peace. You are it. You are peaceful.
Joy-feel joy. Experience and enjoy being joyful. Relax and allow yourself to feel joy. Allow yourself to be joyful. Experience joy.
Compassion-be compassionate to yourself. Show compassion to others. Experience compassion. Receive it. Accept it.
Gratitude-what are you grateful? Count your blessings. What has gone well in your life? Be grateful for this
Now I will give you time to feel other positive feelings on your own. If you drift away and sleep, enjoy your sleep.
Today, Why not spend one minute, once each hour, meditating on a pleasant memory or on someone you love? Your heart will literally thank you!
Namaste
Thank you
