21 Days of Greatness Day 15
We are now in our last week of this meditation series. We are still working with the fifth Hermetic principle, the principle of rhythm: Everything flows out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right; is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compansates. 

I suggest you lie on your back, with palms on the sides, facing up. Eyes closed. Your feet are slightly apart. Make sure your back is straight. Your head is slightly tilted with the chin towards the chest. Make sure you are comfortable and warm. .

I will guide you through another progressive relaxation. In this exercise, you place your attention on one area of your body and tense it as hard as possible on each in-breath. You hold at the top and then release at each outbreath as you relax. You get the sequence: Tense as you breathe in. Hold your in-breath as you tighten and tense even more. As you release, you breathe out and then relax. Each out breath should be accompanied by a deep relaxation in the area we are working with.

Now, can you place your attention on both your feet. Curl your toes as you breath in slowly and as you continue to curl your toes, hold your breath. Now relax as you breathe out and appreciate the warmth of fresh oxygenated blood flood your feet. Now move your attention to your lower legs, squeeze the muscles on your cuff muscles, feet and heels as you breathe in. Hold the breath as you squeeze these muscles and experience their tightness. Do not hurt yourself. As you breathe out, relax and again appreciate the feeling of relaxation as fresh oxygenated blood floods the muscles of lower legs.

Now squeeze your thigh muscles as you breathe in. You will find that this is easy to do when you stretch your entire leg on each side. Hold your breath and squeeze the muscles of your thighs. As you breathe out, Relax and spend a few moments appreciating the nice warm feeling.

Now squeeze muscles of your buttocks, the perineum and pelvic muscles as you breathe in and hold. Relax and enjoy that feeling of warm relaxation as you breathe out.

Now your entire lower body is relaxed-your feet, lower legs, upper legs, buttoks, perineum, and sexual organs are relaxed.

Now squeeze your lower abdomen and lower back together as you breathe in. Arch your back slightly. Hold. Squeeze and hold and as you breathe out, release these muscles. Move to the chest and breathe into the chest. Hold and blow out all the tension in the chest. As you breathe out, relax your chest.

Now squeeze your shoulder blades together as you breathe in. Squeeze and hold your breath. As you breathe out, relax

Now clench your fists and allow your biceps and triceps to tense as you breathe in. Hold and squeeze. Squeeze and hold. Now breathe out and relax your arms.

Raise your shoulders as you tense the muscles in your neck as you breathe in. Hold and squeeze. Squeeze and hold. As you breathe out relax. Now take time to appreciate the relaxation in your entire body from neck to the bottom of your feet. Enjoy this relaxation.

Breathe in as you squeeze and squeeze every muscle on your face. Make a face, tighten your lips and squeeze your lips together as you breath in and hold. As you breathe out, relax every muscle of your face, 

Finally, open your mouth as wide as possible as you breathe in. Hold and open even wider and as you release, breath out and appreciate the relaxation from head to toe.

Now scan the entire body and appreciate such a deep level of relaxation. Can double the feeling of relaxation. Double it again.

Now recall every situation in life when you felt things were really bad. Can you look at the good periods. Do you see any pattern between when you experienced the good and the bad. Look at your life and look out for any patterns. Maybe you fell in love and enjoyed a life of bliss, then followed by a heartbreak. How long was each cycle. Maybe you experienced a spell of good health and then from somewhere unknown, some illness hit you. No matter how temporary. Can you see the cycle there? Keep looking at your life and picking these trends.

Now for anything you called bad or less than perfect, can you learn to accept it. Let us call each feeling of rejection of such experiences an illusion. Anything you called bad, or evil, can you call it an illusion. It was a lesson brought in your path for your growth. It brought you here. The view of bad, evit or anything unwelcome was an illusion.

Now that you are here, can you make a commitment to accept everything that will ever happen in your life.

Can you vow to maintain a high vibration in any situation.

 Relax deeply and repeat after me as I read from the second meditation in the Three Magic Words by U.S. Andersen.
:
Now in your own time, you will slowly come out of your relaxation,  become awake and aware. Stretch. You are now fully awake.
