Healing from Collective Consciousness
Today’s meditation is a seated meditation. So sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Let go of any thoughts of the past or the future. Just be present at this moment. Can you take your awareness to what is happening in this place at this moment. Feel the clothes you are wearing. Feel the breath and feel the temperature in the place where you are. Let go of any judgements or any worries or anxieties about what will happen next. Accept what is happening at this moment.
Relax. Now listen to my voice.
It is amazing how one idea, one issue, one problem and one disease affecting one person becomes widespread so quickly. These days we think it is the internet but how often do you have an idea in your mind and within a few days find that idea being already known and used widely by other people. That idea might not have appeared to you in any form before, no internet, no discussion and not even witnessing anyone using that idea
A scenario that puts this concept into perspective is the story of monkeys that were taught to wash their hands before eating. They were kept in one area and not allowed to mix with monkeys from any other area. However, a few months down the line, it was found that some monkeys in a different area were washing hands before eating but nobody had taught them. This is the concept of collective consciousness. There is a field within which anything that has ever been known or done by anybody at any time in any place, can be known or done by other people elsewhere out necessarily any form of communication.
Because of the amount of emotion related to suffering, there is far greater transfer or exchange of pain related and suffering across space and time, than normal life.
I hope I have made the concept clear. I call it collective consciousness. We are affected by other people’s suffering without any need of direct contact or communication. These days of fast information transfer, such exchange is much quicker and a lot more widespread.
Today we are healing pain and suffering from collective consciousness. We can remain free of such suffering and become the healers rather than victims of any trendy disease, problem or state. That is the state we are claiming today. We are masters of our experiences. We have the power to decide our experiences.
That is our practice for day 10 and day 11. For day 10, today, we open our minds for clarity on the concept of collective consciousness. We do this by activating our sixth chakra, that centre of clarity of thought, perception and understanding.
By placing our attention on the third eye, we activate it for clarity of thought, deeper understanding of issues and of the meaning behind what we see, hear and feel. Through such activation we can understand when we are grounded in our own energies and when we are responding to the energies of others around us.
To open this centre, we do a quick breathing exercise. Breathe from the belly. You do not consciously breathe in. All you need to do is push your belly inside and as you do, breathe out through the mouth like this: The idea is to take as many breaths as possible for as long as possible. As you breathe, maintain your focus on the space between your eyebrows. You place your attention on the third eye.
Let us begin.
Now take a deep breath in and breathe out through the mouth.
Can we do the breathing exercise again?
Now take a deep breath in, and hold. And out through the mouth. Now relax. For the rest of this meditation, sit and continue to focus your attention on your third eye. Place all your attention between your eyebrows. If your mind wonders, bring it back to the sixth chakra. Focus intently on this centre.
With eyes closed, you can pretend to look up and look bring your eyes together, to look at the spot between your eyebrows.
If your mind wonders, bring your attention back to this centre.
Now finally, sit and contemplate the concept of collective consciousness. Let your mind rest on the concept and let it receive deeper understanding of how people respond to other people’s suffering by suffering themselves. Contemplate how we pick up energies across time and space. Contemplate the suffering that is widespread in families across generations. We are masters of our own reality. There is no question of a family disease or family trend. We are free from such bondage. We are masters of our own destiny. Contemplate this idea.
You may now open your eyes..

Undestanding Abundance Day 9
You can download the audio here.
Today, day 9 we continue from where we left on Day 8. We are healing issues with our physical bodies. These issues include ailments, pains and unwanted repeating patterns. If you exhausted the issues on day 8, today may be the day to relax in your meditation and integrate the healing that took place yesterday.
Let us begin lying down on the back with eyes closed. We reaffirm the intention from day 8:
I will find out where this pattern started and I will make peace with the event, person, people, time involved. Almighty God, help my subconscious mind identify the source of this issue and heal it today. Even now I am healed.
Breathe normally from the nose. What is important is that you are comfortable, warm and completely relaxed. So observe that your body is now used to the practice of relaxation and responds to you quickly. You are now relaxed.
Now scan your body round and tell every part that is tense or feeling any pain or uneasiness to relax. Take your time to go over your body and tell any uneasiness to relax. Tell your body to relax.
Keep going, telling every part of your body to relax. You may find that your body is deeper into relaxation. Deeper and deeper. You are deeply relaxed. All your muscles and your joints are soft and completely relaxed. You may find that even if you tried to lift your arms you cannot because they have become very heavy. Your legs are very heavy. Your body is heavy, lying on that surface. You are deeply relaxed.
Now in order to relax even deeper, can you pay attention to your breath now. Breathe normally and naturally. Do not try to alter your breath or change anything. Just be aware of your breath. Feel the cool air travel through your nostril, down through your throat, into the chest and feel your stomach lift as you breathe in. Feel the gentle dropping of your stomach as you breathe out and feel the warm air exit through the nostrils. Keep breathing normally and naturally.
If your mind wanders, return to your breath. Remember you are breathing normally. Just observing your breath.
Your mind is now completely relaxed. Empty. You are deep in relaxation.
Now listen to my voice. Let go of the breath and listen to my voice. You may be sleeping at this stage. Your subconscious mind is fully awake and listening to me now. It hears every command and it is taking action to heal you. You are free from any unwanted patterns and trends in your life. You are healthy and free.
You have the power to heal yourself. You remember every incidence and every detail of every cause of every ailment. You are now healing yourself. You are using your divine right to be free from illness. You are free from any repeating, unwanted pattern. You are healthy. Your mind is healthy. You are free.
Now turn to one of the issues. Go where it started. Experience what you experienced then. See yourself in the scene. Just observe the feelings and see what you saw.
Now it is time to let go. It is of no use to keep holding onto pain. That pain served its part to protect you. Your subconscious mind has been trying to protect you all along. It is not necessary anymore. You are safe. That incident is in the past. It is a distant memory. It is gone. It is forgotten. You are free of any memory of that experience. You do not need it anymore. You are free to venture and explore the world. Let go of any fear.
Now turn to another incident. Your subconscious mind knows where that pain started. Just watch to see that that experience is no longer a threat. You are free. You are healed at the deepest level. All the painful memories inside your body, in your cells, in your DNA and within your psyche is healed. You Are free. You are healed.
Now turn to your whole being and say: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. Keep repeating this: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. Keep going: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you.

Understanding Abundance Day 8
You can download the audio here.
On Day 8 we are healing the Physical Body. We use relaxation to heal every part of our physical body that needs healing.
I would strongly recommend some lavender or vanilla essential oil. If you have a grade you can apply on your skin, rub a drop or two just below your nostrils. If it is not safe to apply on the skin, place the oil on a cotton bud and hold it close to your nostrils.
You need space where you can sit and then lie down in the second part of the meditation. You need your journal and a pen at the beginning and at the end. Keep them close to you. We are going to conduct two breathing exercises. Both use the pacer.
Now take a seat, Eyes open. Let us set the intention first. In your journal, write down: the heading: Today am healing my body of:
Write down any physical problem you may have right now. Or write down any problem that comes from time to time which you would like to get rid of. If you do not have any physical ailment, write down a repeating unwanted pattern in your life:
Just write the condition: High blood pressure, migraine, difficulty breathing, bladder problems, Inability to keep a job. Or inability to keep a relationship. Or estranged child.
Write down: I will find out where this pattern started and I will make peace with the event, person, people, time involved. Almighty God, help my subconscious mind identify the source of this issue and heal it today. Even now I am healed.
When you have finished place the journal and pen on the side and, look at a point in front of you.
Place your right thumb on the right nostril and the index and ring finger on the left nostril. The middle and pointing finger are on the forehead. You may want to hold the right hand up using your left hand or if you are holding a cotton bud with your left hand, I am sure you can cope with both your hands up towards or on your nostrils for a few minutes.
For the first breath close the right nostril and breathe in through the left nostril. Open the right nostril and breathe out. You alternatite like this to the end. I will guide you through this breathing exercise at the beginning.
In the second part you can use both hands to support each other to hold the cotton bud in place. We breathe using the same pacer at the same breathing rate..in and out. I will guide you.
I am now starting the pacer and let us do the alternate breathing:
Close the right nostril and breathe in through the left nostril. Open the right nostril and breathe out. Breathe in through the left nostril. Breathe out through the right nostril. Breath in through the right nostril and out through the left nostril.
Keep alternating like this to the end.
Now stop. Take a moment to feel your male and female energies, yan and yin fully balanced. Your right and left brain are synchronized. Your creative potential and emotional qualities are completely balanced. Positive and negative energies are completely balanced.
I am starting the pacer again so still with your eyes open, breath in, breathe out. In and then out.
Now sit for a few moments to feel the benefits of the breath, Your mind is quiet and you are feeling mentally relaxed.
Now, slowly, adjust your position, and lie on your back. Feet slightly apart. Arms on the side and palms facing up. Keep your Eyes open. Gaze up at the ceiling. Find a point you can gaze at. Just keep gazing at the object or point or a colour in front of you.
As you lie there, you might find that your body has become fully relaxed. You feel the support of the surface on which you lie and You might find that your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. Your eyelids are very heavy and you find it difficult to keep them apart. And now they are so heavy that you give up and let them close if you haven't done so yet.
Now with your eyes closed, take a quick scan of the body and identify any tense areas and places where you cannot relax. Make soft, gentle mental suggestions for your body to relax. Make it softer still. Relax.
Now place your attention to the toes on your left foot. Tell each of your toes to relax.
Move down your left foot and tell it to relax. Feel the warm, gentle sensation of relaxation as you move up the muscles of your leg: the cuff muscles, up your left thigh. Tell the whole left leg to relax.
You might notice that the whole body has gone deeper into relaxation. Your left leg is limp, warm and relaxed.
Move to the foot of your right leg. Tell each toe to relax.
Relax the whole foot, the cuff muscles and muscles on the whole leg. Tell your thigh muscles to relax.
Now both your legs are relaxed.
Take a moment to relax the fingers and thumb on your left hand. Move up the forearm and tell it to relax. Continue up the muscles of the upper arm and the shoulder and tell all the muscles to relax.
Now move your attention to the fingers and thumb on your right hand. Tell them to relax as you relax the hand, the wrist forearm and upper arm. Your right hand is now relaxed. Right shoulder is fully relaxed.
Now relax your whole torso and feel your whole body sink into the surface where you are. Feel your body lying there like an abandoned coat.
Now listen to the next song. Listen to the sound of the heart beat. Just relax and listen. Listen and relax. You will not sleep. Your body is completely relaxed but now your mind is fully awake. Your thoughts are giving way to the subconscious mind. You are fully relaxed.
Keep listening to the heart beat. You will not drift away. You will hear only the heartbeat and my voice. Listen to the heartbeat and my voice. I will give you plenty of time to listen to the heartbeat. Relax and listen.
Now take the issue that bothers you the most, of the issues you listed. Can you ask your subconscious mind to tell you where and when this began. Where are you? What do you see? Consider the scene and fully understand how this became the problem that you now have. Can you forgive it now. Can you forgive yourself if you thought you did something wrong.? Guilt does not serve any purpose ever in life. Release it. You did what was appropriate at that time. You can not change what you did but you can change how you feel about it. You have learnt and you are moving on now.
Can you forgive whoever or whatever you thought was wrong? Can you ask your body to release this pain? It does not serve you anymore.
Can you make peace with whatever or whoever or wherever this issue started. Look at it and say: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. Keep telling your heart: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. Keep going: I am sorry, please forgive me, I live you, Thank you.
Say after me: I release the memory of this from my and delete it in time, space and reality. I forgive everyone concerned and transmute this pain into love and send it back to its source to bless them. I bless myself.
Let us do this for the next issue.
Let us do this for the next issue.
Now we have cleared a lot and you are feeling lighter. Keep listening to the heartbeat and now even my voice will be gone. Please make sure you listen long enough to fully integrate the healing that has taken place in your body.
When you wake up, write down your experience in your journal. You may want to take a look at it later today and find any insights if there is anything else you need to do. Whenever any feeling or pain or emotion shows up today just repeat. I am sorry, please forgive me, I live you, Thank you.
On Day 8 we are healing the Physical Body. We use relaxation to heal every part of our physical body that needs healing.

Understanding Abundance: Day 7
You can download the audio here.
Today is Day 7, which marks the end of the first week of our 21 days of Healing. We have been working on clearing and refining the energies in our outer bodies. We have mostly worked on the emotional or astral body and the body that connects us to all that is. Today we would like to spend some time clearing and healing the lack of self-acceptance in our physical bodies.
First, as we look back, we wouldn't have been able to do what we did without the help and support from the Almighty. So we breathe today, we would like to offer as much gratitude as possible to the Almighty for taking us through the process. We also thank the Almighty for the gift of healing, which has already started to take place. As we understood from Day 1, all healing is of the mind. Ae spent time healing the body associated with the mind, giving ourselves love, happiness and seeking our highest purpose as a way of achieving healing.
Now sit comfortably and close your eyes. Place your hands on the chest and say after me. “I am full of gratitude for all the healing that I have received this week. Thank you God Almighty for the gift of healing and for making me know that I can heal myself. I am grateful that I have healed my mind and I have achieved peace in my heart. Thank you”
As you sit and offer gratitude, you might realise that you have started to relax. This is because you are home. By offering gratitude, you are confirming that you are safe. You are home. All your needs are met and you are grateful to the Almighty for them. Now take a moment to feel that all your needs are met. Look back at the week and take stock of what you achieved through these meditations. I will give you time to do this.
Now let us offer the fruits of this practice to the Almighty. Repeat after me: “I offer the fruits of this practice to the Almighty so that by the healing of one, the world may be healed. I offer the fruits of healing wholly and completely, with gratitude, and I offer these from my heart.”
Again you might realise that you have already gone deeper into a state of relaxation. You are deeply relaxed. You are comfortable and relaxed. Deeper and deeper you relax. Relax your whole body. Notice and surrender to the feeling of relaxation.
Take a moment to scan your body quickly and identify any part of you that you have been told or feel maybe I would have been better if I was a little taller, shorter, darker, thinner, bigger here, smaller there, smarter. Continue scanning your body to identify where you think things would have been better were your lips a little thicker here or whatever. You know what you do not like about yourself.
Let me tell you what happens almost daily in my life. I deal with people most of the time and I hear statements like:
I can do this but I can't because…..
I can succeed but my English is bad
I know I could if only I had the support of a man, woman…. In my life. I always tell these people, embrace “I can, regardless”. When you learn to accept yourself, then others will accept you.
If you do not accept yourself, how do you expect somebody else to accept what you don't accept? First accept yourself, then others will love and accept you as you are.Teach yourself you accept yourself as you are.
Teach yourself to look at only cultivating love in your life, loving and accepting yourself first, then the whole world will love and accept you.
So now, we will be breathing using the pacer again. On your inbreath, breathe in acceptance into those areas where you are less than happy with yourself. As you breathe out, relax your body. Soften every part that is tense. Soften any area where you feel any resistance. Breathe in healing into any painful areas and breathe out all those years of rejection in those parts of your body.
So you understand-Breathe in self-acceptance, breathe out all the tension in your body, inviting a wave of relaxation wherever you feel tense. You feel the relaxation flow throughout your body. Breath in through your nostrils and out through the mouth, with lips slightly open.
Let us begin. When you hear this sound, breathe into those areas you have always thought were less than acceptable. When you hear this sound, breathe out, see all the tension, any pain, anything that you never liked about yourself disappear with the waste carbon dioxide.
See all those years of rejection and self criticism disappear.
At the next outbreth, go into your mind.Get rid of any self criticism and judgement that you cannot do something because you feel you are less than adequate. Anything about which you ever said “I can't”. Accept yourself and replace “I can't” with “I can”. Infact, say I can and I will. Say after me as you breathe out, “I can and I will” Breathe in self lf acceptance and “I can and I will” In self acceptance and “I can and I will”
I will shortly stop the pacer and you can resume your normal breathing. Now feel the relaxation in your body. Feel the sense of lightness. Feel the calmness in your mind. Take some time to enjoy this peace. Take your time to enjoy self acceptance.
Say after me: “I accept myself wholly and completely. Today I have claimed back all the years and months of lack of self-acceptance. I am grateful that I have come back to myself. I have returned home. This is where I was when I was born-unlimited, pure, wonderful, beautiful, perfect in all respects. This is home-I love and accept myself. And so it is.”
From now on, go back to the mantra for Day 2: “I love you” Whenever you feel low just look inside your heart and say “I love you” Whenever you feel you cannot do something. Instead of saying I can't, just stop and say to your heart “I love you” Do that now, say “I love you” I love you” “I love you” “I love you”
You may open your eyes and stretch. Thank you. Namaste.

Let me tell you what happens almost daily in my life. I deal with people most of the time and I hear statements like:
I can do this but I can't because…..
I can succeed but my English is bad
I know I could if only I had the support of a man, woman…. In my life. I always tell these people, embrace “I can, regardless”. When you learn to accept yourself, then others will accept you.
If you do not accept yourself, how do you expect somebody else to accept what you don't accept? First accept yourself, then others will love and accept you as you are.Teach yourself you accept yourself as you are.
Teach yourself to look at only cultivating love in your life, loving and accepting yourself first, then the whole world will love and accept you.
So now, we will be breathing using the pacer again. On your inbreath, breathe in acceptance into those areas where you are less than happy with yourself. As you breathe out, relax your body. Soften every part that is tense. Soften any area where you feel any resistance. Breathe in healing into any painful areas and breathe out all those years of rejection in those parts of your body.
So you understand-Breathe in self-acceptance, breathe out all the tension in your body, inviting a wave of relaxation wherever you feel tense. You feel the relaxation flow throughout your body. Breath in through your nostrils and out through the mouth, with lips slightly open.
Let us begin. When you hear this sound, breathe into those areas you have always thought were less than acceptable. When you hear this sound, breathe out, see all the tension, any pain, anything that you never liked about yourself disappear with the waste carbon dioxide.
See all those years of rejection and self criticism disappear.
At the next outbreth, go into your mind.Get rid of any self criticism and judgement that you cannot do something because you feel you are less than adequate. Anything about which you ever said “I can't”. Accept yourself and replace “I can't” with “I can”. Infact, say I can and I will. Say after me as you breathe out, “I can and I will” Breathe in self lf acceptance and “I can and I will” In self acceptance and “I can and I will”
I will shortly stop the pacer and you can resume your normal breathing. Now feel the relaxation in your body. Feel the sense of lightness. Feel the calmness in your mind. Take some time to enjoy this peace. Take your time to enjoy self acceptance.
Say after me: “I accept myself wholly and completely. Today I have claimed back all the years and months of lack of self-acceptance. I am grateful that I have come back to myself. I have returned home. This is where I was when I was born-unlimited, pure, wonderful, beautiful, perfect in all respects. This is home-I love and accept myself. And so it is.”
From now on, go back to the mantra for Day 2: “I love you” Whenever you feel low just look inside your heart and say “I love you” Whenever you feel you cannot do something. Instead of saying I can't, just stop and say to your heart “I love you” Do that now, say “I love you” I love you” “I love you” “I love you”
You may open your eyes and stretch. Thank you. Namaste.

Understanding Abundance: Day 6
You can download the audio here.
For today’s meditation, we keep our eyes open for the most part. We are going to get into a dialogue with our highest self, regarding the answers we got or did not get from yesterday’s meditation. If we did not get any answer, this is the time to find out what the answers should have been.
You will need your journal and pen for this meditation.
I will take you through the process.
For now, you will carry out a breathing exercise to get centred and focused.
So sit comfortably with your back straight, and relax. Relax fully and completely. Relax. Take a deep breath in. Breath out through the mouth with a sigh.
Now roll your head very slowly clockwise, meaning that you start with your chin on the chest and rotate your head so that the chin goes past the right shoulder first. Slowly, widely. Eyes open. Make this a huge circle. Feel the muscles around your neck stretch and make a clicking sound. Slowly--take a full minute to complete a full turn. Super slow. The rest of your body is completely relaxed. You are fully relaxed. Relax completely.
Let’s do this a second time. Super slow. The rest of your body is completely relaxed. You are fully relaxed. Relax completely.Turn your head clockwise. Slowly. Chin is still on the chest, slowly past the right collar bone, now over the right shoulder, now chin is pointing upwards, over the left shoulder and now rests on the chest.
Now relax, for a few moments, integrating the feelings of relaxation you have generated. Relax.
Now turn your head anticlockwise. Slowly. Chin is still on the chest, slowly past the left collar bone, now over the left shoulder, now chin is pointing upwards, over the right shoulder and now rests on the chest.
Repeat this process
Repeat. Slowly,
Stop and again take a moment to feel the relaxation this exercise is already giving you. Now relax. You are now fully relaxed
Gaze in front of you with eyes slightly open, very relaxed. You are not focusing on anything in particular. You are using your peripheral vision to see all objects around you: up, down, sideways, front see it all at once. You are not focusing on anything in particular. You are gazing in front. Back and neck straight. Now breathe following the pacer, into your chest. You breathe in through the nostrils and out through the slightly opened mouth. Eyes gazing forward. Breathe. Make it softer. You may have noticed that the out breath is longer. Make it as complete as possible. Your body is getting rid of all the waste carbon dioxide. You are nourishing your body with fresh oxygen each time you breathe in.
Breathe. Now on each out breath, I would like you to feel your body sink into the chair or floor you are sitting on. On your out breath, feel your shoulders and upper back relax. Feel all the tension go. Feel your mind become completely empty.
Relax. Following the pacer, your out breath is long and relaxing. You are purifying your blood.
Now bring up a beautiful scene, event, person, place or experience that gives you a positive emotion like love, compassion, loving kindness. Breathe this emotion into your heart. On the out breath, take your awareness outwards as far as it goes. Eyes open, how far does your awareness go-sideways, upwards, down. You are looking straight in front of you. Make it a soft gaze as you take your awareness up, down, on all sides and forward in front of you.
Now close your eyes for a moment and continue breathing.
Now start a dialogue with your superconscious mind. With eyes closed, ask these questions from yesterday:
What is the most important thing for me to do in my life at this moment?
What would I need to do to heal in my life in order to start engaging with my highest purpose?
Listen for a moment. Listen.
Now open your eyes and write down whatever thought, word, phrase or insight comes into your conscious mind first. Even if it does not make sense, just note it down.
Now ask anything you would like to know.
For example, ask your superconscious mind to confirm the answers for you. Listen for the answer and write down whatever comes first into your consciousness. Keep asking some more questions to clarify the answers you got. Ask some more questions about the answers..
How do I know this is not my conscious mind giving me these answers? How do I know it is not my ego?
What is the first step that I need to take to start healing? Write down the answer. Ask any more questions you personally have.
Now close your eyes for a moment. Breathe.
Now open your eyes and start writing anything that comes to your mind. It doesn't have to make sense. It might be just meaningless words. Just write. Write some more and more.
Now stop.
Close your eyes and say after me.
I have made contact with my highest self. For the rest of the day today, the answers to my questions and any other questions I will have are getting clearer and clearer. I now know exactly what is most important for more. I am deeply happy, and content. I am relaxed and fully aware of what is important in my life. I know exactly what to do. If anything appears unclear to me, all i do is turn inwards and the answers show up.
Thank you God almighty.
You may open your eyes and as you go about your business today, take short moments to look at your journal. Check the answers to see if they make more sense. Note down any new insights.

Understanding Abundance: Day 5
You can download the audio here.
We will be sitting throughout today’s meditation. So take a seat and relax deeply. Relax. Breathe deeply and slowly. Close your eyes.
I saw this recently: By the famed meditation and Japanese yoga instructor H.E. Davey:
"The mind moves the body, and the body follows the mind. Logically then, negative thought patterns harm not only the mind but also the body."
Today we explore further, our five bodies and energise our highest body. That which connects us with our highest potential, our soul, our purpose for life. That which connects us to all that is.
We are healing ourselves through a purpose greater than us. When we clear negative thought patterns, we heal our physical bodies. Remember, healing is of the mind as suffering is of the mind. All the healing takes place in the astral body.
The more time we spend in the higher vibrational bodies and the states that they connect with, the more we clear our minds of negative thought patterns.
Yesterday we explored the power of working in the flow state, where we become a vessel or channel of creation whilst the process takes place spontaneously. We explored the impact of creating happiness on our minds.
We continue to use our breath as a healing tool. Today we breathe into the chest. We are breathing at an even pace using the pacer in the background, as follows: Breathe in, Breathe out, in, out. As you breathe following the pacer, focus intensely on the heart. Breathe into the heart. As you breathe out, breathe place your attention as far out as possible. You are not looking at any particular experience but just to expand your awareness as far outward as possible. To allow you to concentrate, I will let you breathe into your chest and out as far as your awareness can go for the next few minutes.
Now recall the beautiful experience you had yesterday. Can you just hold the most intense feeling of happiness into your awareness. Breathe this feeling into your heart at the inbreath and out as far away as your awareness can go. Take this wonderful feeling of expansion with you, in into the heart and out into the outermost body which is everywhere where your awareness goes.
Now sit still and listen to answers to the following questions to these questions:
What is the most important thing for me to do in my life at this moment?
What would I need to heal in my life in order to start engaging with my highest purpose?
Write the answers down in your journal.
Now you may open your eyes and stretch

Understanding Abundance: Day 4
You can download the audio here.
On Day 1 we identified happiness as God’s will for us. We considered that all suffering is of the mind. All difficulties arise from the mind labelling them as difficulties. Unless your mind perceives an experience as difficult, uncomfortable or painful, you will not experience any of these negative effects. That is why you find in most cases, two people in the same situation having very different experiences: one will be comfortable and happy whilst the other continues to mourn and complain forever.
On Day 2 we explored our five bodies and filled them with positive energy as our source of healing. We particularly spent some time in the astral or emotional body, energising it and making it dream pleasant dreams so as to influence the mind to take a positive view of life, because the astral body is the body that is connected with the mind and emotions.
On Day 3 we gave love to ourselves.
As you may have noticed, we have been using breath to calm and centre the mind. Breath is our life force. It is what is called Prana. It is the source of life.You can last for months without food but will not survive only a few minutes without breath.
The intention for today is to generate happiness so say after me “I choose to be happy”. We continue to influence our astral body, as we did on day 2 and day 3 to generate and maintain positive emotions. We are rewiring our brains to be happy.
So sit comfortably with your spine straight. Eyes closed
Breathe rapidly in and out through the nose for just a few seconds, like this.
Pause and take a long, slow, deep breath and hold for as long as you can.
When you exhale, empty your lungs completely and again hold your outbreath for as long as possible. Now breathe normally.
Let us do this one more time.
Deep breath in, hold for as long as possible. Exhale and empty the lungs completely in one breath.
From now until the end of the meditation, breathe at your own pace, in through the nose or mouth it doesn’t really matter. Whatever you choose, make sure to remember only to breathe out from your mouth with your lips just slightly open. Let each inbreath happen naturally. Let each inbreath follow its own pace.
However, be conscious of your outbreath, making each outbreath as long and complete as possible. Feel the warm air pass through your slightly open lips. You should hear a soft sound as you breathe out. Make this sound even softer, almost inaudible. Just focus on the outbreath and make sure you are breathing out through the mouth, with the lips slightly apart.
Relax deeply and completely. Relax. Feel completely relaxed. You are now relaxed from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. Go even deeper.
Now picture a scene of your choice, of your own creation in which you are really happy. This scene has never happened and you don’t wish it to happen. You will not remember it when you finish this meditation, but it is very important that you engage in it. As you build this happy scene, let your heart give you the ideas. Ask your heart whenever the flow of ideas stops. Just remember to breathe out through the mouth. Never mind the inbreath.
You are actually making this scene up as you progress. Your heart is guiding you through the process. So where are you? Remember to breathe out through the mouth as you experience your own creation of happiness. Get fully absorbed in your creation. You are exhaling through the mouth. You are relaxed
Who are you with? What are you doing? Can you picture the whole scene clearly and vividly?. Can you hear every word every person there with you is saying?. What do you see? Add more colour. What colours do you see?. These must be your favorite colours, I suppose. Relax deeper and only exhale from the mouth..
Now add some sensory perception. Are you eating or drinking? What is that which you are eating? Can you intensely taste whatever you are eating? Taste it. Is this your favorite taste? Can you smell it? Is it your favorite smell? How do you feel? Are you hot or cold? Or is the temperature just right? Make it as pleasant as possible. Laugh if you should. Just enjoy. Make your emotions real. Feel the happiness. If it is an event that makes your heart rate speed up, let it speed up. Bring it right up. Let your palms sweat. Let your body make the movements it would make. If you feel like jumping around hugging people around you do it. Only that you are playing this from your mind. And you are asking your heart for guidance when you get stuck. And you are deeply relaxed. And you are breathing out from your mouth, through slightly open lips.
If you feel the urge to yawn, why not, yawn. In fact, fake a yawn right now. And again. Can you yawn again? If you are generating tears of joy, let them fall down your cheeks. Feel the warmth of your tears. Feel the cheeks cool down as the wind gently washes over your face. Be happy. Breathe out through the mouth, softly, easily, inaudibly.
Now listen. Relax, keep breathing out through the mouth and listen to me.
This scene is the kind that most likely manifests in real life because you have created it from your heart. You do not wish it to happen. You are not attached to it. You are not attached to the outcome. Yet when you created this scene you were deeply engaged. The breath kept on calming your mind further down as you got deeper into the activity of creation. You are not begging God, declaring lack in the process. The happiness you have experienced brings with it healing at the deepest level.
Notice the quieting of the mind. Experience the quiet mind. Love your quiet mind for a moment.
Thank yourself for your creation. Thank God for the gift of happiness. Keep breathing out from the mouth long after the meditation. You can even make a sound as you breathe out, now that you are not likely to disturb yourself. Yawn if you feel like it. You may stretch, open your eyes. namaste

Understanding Abundance: Day 3
You can download the audio here.
Today we are going to sit throughout the session so sit comfortably and relax. Sit with your back straight. Close your eyes. Now relax. Relax the whole body. Relax.
Today we use two types of breathing to calm and centre ourselves. In both cases, we use Justin’s recording to pace our breathing. I am now giving you the instructions for the first part of the breathing exercise. This is what we call the balancing breath. In this breath, you are balancing the female and male energies in your body. You are also balancing the left and right sides of your brain.
The instructions for this are as follows:
Now take your right hand up in front of you and place the thump on the right nostril. You can support the arm by holding it with the left hand. Now place the thumb lightly on the right nostril and the ring and pinky fingers on the left nostril. The Pointing fingers and the middle finger slightly touch the middle of the forehead.
Make yourself as comfortable as possible and relax. Relax and be comfortable.
Now breathe in slowly and deeply through the left nostril, with the right nostril closed by pressing the thumb down. Hold the breath in and hold by closing both nostrils, and exhale through the right nostril by releasing the thump whilst breathing out. Now breathe in through the right nostril, close both nostrils and hold. Exhale through the left nostril..
We are using the instructions by Justin which you are now used to. Do this for the first few minutes until I tell you to stop the alternate breathing.
Now let us begin.
Now stop and continue sitting comfortably. Relax.
Pause
Now with your hands lightly placed on your knees or on your lap. Breathe in slowly and deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth. We are going to start the breathing exercise where you breath in through the nose for five seconds, hold for seven seconds and breathe out through the mouth for another five seconds. We do this for a total of five minutes.
Let us begin.
Now for the rest of this meditation focus your attention on your heart. Move both your hands to the heart centre and allow yourself to feel the warmth of the hands. Focus intensely on your heart centre.
Call up the most intense negative thought that you usually experience. In normal circumstances when you experience such a thought, what do you do? If you are like most people you probably go into a pattern of thinking and rethinking the same thought. Now, the body responds to the thought by generating the emotion. Sadness for example, can manifest as a strong urge to cry, a heaviness in the heart or feelings of fatigue.
Now think the thought and allow yourself to feel the emotion it brings for a moment. Feel this negative emotion. Where do you feel it? Just identify the thought, the emotion and where you feel the emotion. Do not judge the emotion. Feel it. Relax. Sit with the feeling for a moment. Be aware of it but with your attention firmly placed on your heart centre. Feel the warmth of your hands on your heart centre.
At this point we use the method proposed by Matt Khan where we love ourselves rather than concentrate on the negative stream of feelings and thoughts. Now place your focus onto the heart and tell your heart, “I love you” Can you repeat this with me “I love you” Make it more passionate “I love you” and even more passionate “I love you” . Now really feel the warmth on the heart centre and repeat “I love you” Again feel the warmth and say “I love you” Really look at the heart and tell yourself “I love you”
Now for a few moments, take in this love you have generated for yourself. Enjoy it and feel it.
For the rest of the day today, whenever anything you would normally call negative happens, turn to your heart and say to it “I love you” Say it three times. Even when confronted by somebody who wants to engage you into a negative conversation, turn your attention to you heart and tell yourself “I love you” before you calmly and positively reply them however your heart feels at that moment. Usually you get the best answer that blesses both them and yourself. You will wonder where that answer came from.
Today we are going to sit throughout the session so sit comfortably and relax. Sit with your back straight. Close your eyes. Now relax. Relax the whole body. Relax.

In this breath, you are balancing the female and male energies in your body. You are also balancing the left and right sides of your brain.
The instructions for this are as follows:
Now take your right hand up in front of you and place the thump on the right nostril. You can support the arm by holding it with the left hand. Now place the thumb lightly on the right nostril and the ring and pinky fingers on the left nostril. The Pointing fingers and the middle finger slightly touch the middle of the forehead.
Make yourself as comfortable as possible and relax. Relax and be comfortable.
Now breathe in slowly and deeply through the left nostril, with the right nostril closed by pressing the thumb down. Hold the breath in and hold by closing both nostrils, and exhale through the right nostril by releasing the thump whilst breathing out. Now breathe in through the right nostril, close both nostrils and hold. Exhale through the left nostril..
We are using the instructions by Justin which you are now used to. Do this for the first few minutes until I tell you to stop the alternate breathing.
Now let us begin.
Now stop and continue sitting comfortably. Relax.
Pause
Now with your hands lightly placed on your knees or on your lap. Breathe in slowly and deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth. We are going to start the breathing exercise where you breath in through the nose for five seconds, hold for seven seconds and breathe out through the mouth for another five seconds. We do this for a total of five minutes.
Let us begin.
Now for the rest of this meditation focus your attention on your heart. Move both your hands to the heart centre and allow yourself to feel the warmth of the hands. Focus intensely on your heart centre.
Call up the most intense negative thought that you usually experience. In normal circumstances when you experience such a thought, what do you do? If you are like most people you probably go into a pattern of thinking and rethinking the same thought. Now, the body responds to the thought by generating the emotion. Sadness for example, can manifest as a strong urge to cry, a heaviness in the heart or feelings of fatigue.
Now think the thought and allow yourself to feel the emotion it brings for a moment. Feel this negative emotion. Where do you feel it? Just identify the thought, the emotion and where you feel the emotion. Do not judge the emotion. Feel it. Relax. Sit with the feeling for a moment. Be aware of it but with your attention firmly placed on your heart centre. Feel the warmth of your hands on your heart centre.
At this point we use the method proposed by Matt Khan where we love ourselves rather than concentrate on the negative stream of feelings and thoughts. Now place your focus onto the heart and tell your heart, “I love you” Can you repeat this with me “I love you” Make it more passionate “I love you” and even more passionate “I love you” . Now really feel the warmth on the heart centre and repeat “I love you” Again feel the warmth and say “I love you” Really look at the heart and tell yourself “I love you”
Now for a few moments, take in this love you have generated for yourself. Enjoy it and feel it.
For the rest of the day today, whenever anything you would normally call negative happens, turn to your heart and say to it “I love you” Say it three times. Even when confronted by somebody who wants to engage you into a negative conversation, turn your attention to you heart and tell yourself “I love you” before you calmly and positively reply them however your heart feels at that moment. Usually you get the best answer that blesses both them and yourself. You will wonder where that answer came from.

Undestanding Abundance Day 2
You can download the audio here
We begin the practice whilst sitting comfortably. In the second part we lie down. Make sure you have prepared a comfortable seat next to a flat comfortable surface where you can lie down and be perfectly comfortable and warm.
In the first part of the meditation we carry out a breathing exercise and we lie down in the second part.
Now sit comfortably and relax. Close your eyes. Breath deeply and slowly into your heart. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Focus your attention on the heart centre. Breathe a few times into your heart.
Now listen to my voice as you relax deeply: You are now relaxed, deeply relaxed. Just listen and relax. Relax and listen, softly and lightly. Do not strain..
For now, I would like to introduce you very quickly to your five bodies. These are:
The normal body made of food and blood, the dense structure we easily associate with.
Just outside is the energetic body. This is made out of energy, prana. It is called the energy body. When you rub your hands against each other and pull them apart very slowly, you can feel this energy in your hands.
Further out is the astral body, associated with the mind, emotions, feelings, colours and our inner state. It is often referred to as the emotional body. We access this body in our feelings and in dreams. Some people can access this state at will. Most of us occasionally when we have a hunch, or when we think of something and it shows up.
The next body is the supramental, that gives us access to the highest truths. You can access this supramental state when you are deeply in the present moment, meditating, contemplating or when you are engaged deeply in something that you enjoy..
The fifth body is boundless, limitless. It is who we really are. We can access this state when we are in a blissful state, profoundly happy. That happiness we cannot describe, but makes we know internally we are really happy. We feel connected to everyone and everything. One with all in all.
Why are we discussing these? In today’s meditation we would like to imagine these bodies and expand our consciousness to reach these bodies and experience our highest truths. In the process we access deep healing for ourselves and everyone and everything. We would like to make this our practice in the next three weeks as we meditate together,to expand our consciousness to reach our highest potential and heal.
Tibetan Singing Bowls, Mwari Muri Zuva,
For this part of the meditation we are going to place our attention on each of the first three bodies, the physical body, the energetic or pranic body and the astral or emotional body. Remember, where you place your attention, energy goes. We place our attention on these bodies by breathing a brought shimmering white light going out with the out breath, into each of the bodies.
Now the next time you breathe in, I would like you to picture this bright shimmering white light coming into your physical body through the nostrils with your breath. This light is the is the healing light energy descending into the heart. It is filled with loving energy that heals and dissolves any energy and everything that no longer serves you. You therefore breathe this light deeply into your heart.
When you breathe out, picture this white light spread out from your heart into every part of each of your body, starting with the physical body.
Now breath slowly at your own pace, deeply slowly, softly and smoothly into your heart and out slowly, and completely, carrying the bright white light with your breath into the physical body. Keep breathing. Keep breathing.
Remember you are deeply relaxed. Breath in healing and loving white light into your heart and out into your physical body.
Now your physical body is full of this shimmering white light. Take a moment to feel the healing and loving energy circulate around your physical body. Scan your body and command any pain, discomfort or uneasiness in your physical body to heal now. Give these foreign energies mental commands to depart now. Tell your body to heal.
Now Breathe this bright shimmering white loving energy into your heart. As you breath out, picture this bright shimmering white light fill your energetic body. Breathe a few times, in through the nose and out into the energetic body. Let this body be filled with bright white light. To picture the body, just imagine the layer covered by your clothes and two inches outside. Feel the white light in your fingers and let it direct the energy into your body, bringing healing with it. Direct this healing energy into every part where you still feel any more discomfort, pain or uneasiness.
Breathe at your own pace.
Deep breath in, breathing in the bright white light into your heart. When you breathe out, this time picture this bright white light spread out into everything around you, into your astral body. To help you imagine this, have you ever been in a room and somebody who is super angry walks in, and you can almost touch this anger. You can smell this in the air and you know something is not right. They are deep into this body and it is affecting everybody and everything around them. In our case imagine the beings of light to come and fill that space. These are the angels, archangels and ascended masters. They are always here with you. Just that In this moment you have allowed them to be felt within your being. They are there to support you through every moment of your life. Feel them now.
Breathe in the bright white light softly, smoothly and deeply, into your heart. Breathe out and let the light surround you, let it fill the space covered by these beings of light who have gathered around you to support you with your healing. Now begin to feel the loving energy of this bright white light. You can almost touch the love around you. Take a moment to enjoy the love that surrounds you. Let this love engulf all your thoughts, emotions and feelings. Feel only love. Think only love. Touch it. Taste it.
Now we are going to go deeper into the first three bodies: The physical body, the energetic body and the emotional body.
1 Hour Guided Meditation
I am going to play a guided meditation which I found on YouTube by someone called Juston and You are the Creators. I use this regularly to relax, clear my mind and heal.It tells you when you breathe in and when you hold your breath. It helps you pace the breathing by counting the seconds for you. All you need is to remember to make your breaths as easy, as soft, as soft and as deep as possible. You breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. As you breathe in, imagine the bright shimmering healing light come into your heart. When you hold, take this light onto your emotional body and hold it there. To do this, imagine this energy covering the centre of your head. As you breath out, let the bright light shower outwards into the whole physical body, the energetic body and the emotional body. The energetic body is being refined into nourishing and loving energy and deep healing is taking place in the physical and emotional bodies.
Ndinoshamiswa
Now resume normal breathing
Now breathe in deeply and relax. Breathe in the bright white, healing light.
When you breathe out, let this bright white, healing light fill your supramental body, your genius body. Let the white light spread round the house or building where you are. Relax, breathe and let this light fill and engulf everything inside the building where you are. There is nothing but this white light around you.
In this last part. Breathe in the bright white light. As you breath out see yourself merge with this light. You are the bright white light. You are limitless. Feel yourself fill every space, every crevice, and everything you can imagine. You are one with all creation. Breathe.
Enigma, Haleluya, Be still
Now take a moment to breathe normally. Feel the benefits of the breath exercise so far. Open your eyes.
Now, slowly, adjust your position, and lie on your back. Feet slightly apart. Arms on the side and palms facing up. You may now close your eyes.
Take a quick scan of the body and identify any areas that may still be tense, and places where you cannot relax. Make soft, gentle mental suggestions for your body to relax. Make it softer still. Relax.
The following part of the meditation takes you into your astral body, your dream world.
Take a journey up in your consciousness, out of your physical body until you get to a wonderful place-a garden where there is only green grass.
Take a moment to look around you. Make this place your own. Fill it with all the flowers, trees, grass or even pets of your choice, with colours of your choice.
Take a moment to feel this place. Really soak it in. Feel the nice breeze and soft shimmering light from the sun. Make it heavenly. Feel this wonderful experience from your heart.
Add some more details to make this the most wonderful experience you have ever had. Feel this from your heart.
Now say the following after me. Repeat from your heart: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Now leave out the rest of the poem and move to the part that says: “He leads me through the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake”
Now listen, Emmett Fox suggested that paths of righteousness means a tendency to follow patterns of right thought. Now repeat: “He leads me through the paths of righteousness” Feel this statement come from your heart. “He leads me through the patterns of right thinking”.
Now take a moment to think right thoughts, thoughts of beauty. After all you are in the most beautiful, most exquisite garden. Describe its beauty to yourself. Make the description more vivid. If you cannot find the words move around and touch things in your beautiful space. Appreciate everything you see, smell, touch. Taste some things around you and smell them. Feel the lovely breeze and warmth around you.
Now turn to your feelings and emotions, can you imagine all the wonderful feelings your presence in this garden gives you.
Now repeat after me and feel each of the following emotions:
Joy; exhilaration, gratitude, reverence, serenity, calm, peace, curiosity, fascination, anticipation, Pride, hope, Amusement, Inspiration, engagement, upliftment, awe, grand, spectacular, appreciation, Elevation, inner goodness, satisfaction, contentment, fulfilment, Relief, Affection, cheerfulness, upbeat, happiness, delight, confidence, self-esteem, Admiration, respect, appreciation, Enthusiasm, excitement, motivation, Eagerness, Euphoria, positivity, Contentment, comforting, well-being, Enjoyment, optimism, Love.
Take a moment to recite any of these emotions you remember. Feel them. Whatever you remember is what your subconscious mind is yearning for right now.
Now going back to the poem, “For His name’s sake” means because that his nature, Because of His essence. Now take a moment to remember, he takes you through the patterns of right thoughts because of His nature-He is righteous. Now take a moment to think of the nature of God:
Now repeat after me:
God is: The one, the all in all, the absolute truth, unconditional love, The Great I AM, Omnipotent-all powerful, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Infinite, Holy, Immutable, Perfect, Self-sufficient, indescribable. In fact there are no earthly words that are sufficient to describe Him.
Take a moment to imagine such greatness. It is surrounding you right now. It feels every part of your being right now. It is the bright white light that we experienced in the first part of this meditation. See any area of inadequacy in your life dissolve in the presence of this shimmering white light. See every weakness, failure and bad memory have dissolve in the presence of God’s might. See Him renew your thoughts because nothing less than perfect can stand in His presence
Now slowly return to your physical body. Be conscious of the floor you are lying on and the feeling of clothing on your skin. Move your fingers and toes. Take a deep breath and stretch. You may now open your eyes. Remember to take a moment to get used to your physical environment.
We begin the practice whilst sitting comfortably. In the second part we lie down. Make sure you have prepared a comfortable seat next to a flat comfortable surface where you can lie down and be perfectly comfortable and warm.
In the first part of the meditation we carry out a breathing exercise and we lie down in the second part.
Now sit comfortably and relax. Close your eyes. Breath deeply and slowly into your heart. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Focus your attention on the heart centre. Breathe a few times into your heart.
Now listen to my voice as you relax deeply: You are now relaxed, deeply relaxed. Just listen and relax. Relax and listen, softly and lightly. Do not strain..

Understanding Abundance Day1
You can download the audio here
Hello everybody. I cannot thank you enough for showing up to make the next 21days a reality.
God bless you abundantly, and may all your needs in life be met in every respect. May you all experience an abundance of health, wealth and happiness in your lives and the lives of everyone you touch? Thank you
Introduction
I will cover the background to our 21 day practice in the form of a meditation. This is part of today’s practice.
We begin the practice whilst sitting comfortably. In the second part we lie down and then finish in a seated position. Make sure you have prepared a comfortable seat next to a flat comfortable surface where you can lie down and be perfectly comfortable and warm.
In the first part of the meditation we prepare our minds to hear the background with a breathing exercise. In addition to putting the mind into the theta brainwave State which allows you to experience the deeper meaning of what I tell you in the background, the synchronised, rhythmic breathIng is well known to produce many healing effects on your body. These include stress reduction, improved cardiovascular health and a strong immunity system.
In the second part we listen to the background. Finally in the third part we pray for grace so as to get strength to go through the full 21 day meditation period successfully. We affirm this before we end the meditation in gratitude.
Now sit comfortably and relax. Close your eyes. Breath deeply and slowly into your heart. Focus you attention on the heart centre
Repeat after me: “Today I embark on a journey, a journey of healing. I surrender my thoughts fully and completely to the Almighty to transform me by the renewal of my mind.”
Say it again from your heart.
Now make it even deeper from your heart and mean every word from the core of your being.
Repeat this, with your both your hands placed lightly on the chest with the tips of the fingers touching the throat. The throat is the centre where our energy for decision making is stored.
Repeat after me: “Today I decide to remove negative thought patterns from my being. I embrace forgiveness, compassion and kindness so as to become completely healed of all suffering in any form. I heal myself of all suffering”
I am going to play some music, which will guide us through the breathing exercise. Listen very carefully:
With the music, you will hear the sound of a bell in the background, like this:
Theta Breathing
When you hear this sound you breathe in slowly, softly and deeply through the nose until you hear the sound again. When you hear this sound again, breathe out slowly, softly and completely through the mouth. Keep doing this until I tell you to stop. In through the nose and out through the mouth at the sound of the bell
I will guide you through the first few breaths.
Echoes, Ganesh Mantra II
Now breathe normally and take a few moments to feel the quiet and calming effects of the exercise on your mind. Get used to the silence in your mind and appreciate it. Know it and hold on to it. Your mind is now in the most ideal state to absorb and retain information.
Continue to relax deeply and completely.
Now for the second part, with great care not to lose your relaxed state, carefully lie down on your back with arms on the sides, palms facing upwards. Feet are slightly apart. Eyes closed
Take a quick scan of the body and identify any tense areas and places where you cannot relax. Make soft, gentle mental suggestions for your body to relax. Make the suggestions softer still. “Relax, Relax, Relax”. As you place your attention round the body into parts where you feel any tension, any pain or any form of discomfort.
Relax deeply. You are deeply relaxed. You are in a state where you can hear and understand every word. Listen lightly. You will not sleep. Relax and don’t sleep.
Relax.
Now place your attention to the toes on your left foot. Tell each of your toes to relax.
Move down your left foot and tell it to relax. Feel the warm, gentle sensation of relaxation as you move up the muscles of your leg: the cuff muscles, up your left thigh. Tell the whole left leg to relax.
You might notice that the whole body is already starting to relax. Your left leg is limp, warm and relaxed.
Move to the foot of your right leg. Tell each toe to relax.
Relax the whole foot, the cuff muscles and muscles on the whole leg. Tell your thigh muscles to relax.
Now both your legs are relaxed.
Take a moment to relax the fingers and thumb on your left hand. Move up the forearm and tell it to relax. Continue up the muscles of the upper arm and the shoulder and tell all the muscles to relax.
Now move your attention to the fingers and thumb on your right hand. Tell them to relax as you relax the hand, the wrist forearm and upper arm. Your right had is now relaxed. Right shoulder is fully relaxed.
Now relax your whole torso and feel your whole body sink into the surface where you are. Move your consciousness up and look behind at your body, lying there like an abandoned coat.
Intermezzo, Pour Melia, Ke Nale Modisa,
Background to the practice
In our healing practice over the next 21 days, we will be focusing on opening our hearts to receiving healing for ourselves and our loved ones as well as to give healing to others, Mother Earth and the entire universe. We will be sending healing energy wherever it is required, whether past, present or in the future.
According to a Zen saying:
“All suffering, is born of mind; but mind cannot fix, what mind created. ……. Sorrow and struggle is found only within your conceptual thinking.”
Every form of suffering we experience in life is some form of illness that needs to be healed. According to this Zen saying, all these illnesses are created in the mind, and yet the mind cannot heal itself. By our thoughts we create all our experiences, but once we get stuck in suffering, the mind cannot redeem itself. A mind stuck in negative thought patterns cannot heal itself.
The Bible says in Romans 12.2: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
You just need to go out, and hear people talk, or meet some people who within a couple of minutes will give you the details of their life histories, to see the nature of this world and the suffering there is out there. And if you watch TV or read newspapers, you sure receive a daily dose of the suffering that has become rampant in this world. I see fear, one of the lowest forms of thought patterns- a sickness that perpetually exists within many people these days. I hear it in almost every conversation. I have also lost a few friends for advising them not to be fearful but to bring love and positivity into their lives. “How dare you take away my priciest possession? My fear protects me from the future” they seem to say. How often people say “worst case scenario”?
That is why the Bible says do not be conformed to this world. It means do not identify with the suffering of this world-with the fearful thoughts and negativity of this world. Do not be part of the sickness of this world. Be transformed by changing the way you think. Yet remember, once you are stuck in the thought patterns of sickness and fear, you cannot get yourself out of this. This is especially true when you become attached to victimhood. This is the state where you get attention from people who sympathise with you. How often do you hear people competing to tell their victim story first?
“You don’t care about me. If you did, you would let me tell you about my experience, then I would feel better” How often have friends, family and even work mates said this to you when you tried to advise them to focus on the good and free themselves from their victim stories. If you are an empath like me, do you ever wonder where those depressive feelings you have the next day after listening to people’s negative stories come from? I have been fortunate to remember a few instances which I could pinpoint a victim story I heard from someone, sometimes even three days later.
When in a state of victimhood, or you become addicted to suffering, the only thing that will save you is the grace of God, which you need to transform you. Only God can free you from destructive thought patterns
When you get transformed, you become a living testimony of the will of God to yourself and to the rest of the world.
But what is the will of God? A Course in Miracles lesson 101 says: “God’s will for us is perfect happiness.” Not just happiness as we have come to know it, but perfect happiness.
But, what is happiness?
According to Mahatma Gandhi: “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” The Greater Good Magazine lists a range of benefits of happiness, including stress reduction, lower heart rates and blood pressure, improved immunity, higher heart rate variability, less aches and pains and better health. According to Wayne Dyer, “Happiness is something that you are and it comes from the way you think”. I say, “Perfect happiness has nothing to do with pleasure which you get temporarily from pleasant external stimuli. It has everything to do with the way you think”.
Aristotle called it “…. the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”
Reverence
Now carefully sit up. Again without losing your calm, relaxed, meditative state. Hands in a prayer position.Bow your head in reverence to the Almighty.
In your own way, and using your own words pray to your God, Buddha, Allah, the Universe, Yahwe to give you strength to go through the next 21 days. Pray for deep healing. Pray for happiness as we defined it. Pray from your heart. Place your full attention on your heart and pray.
Pray deeply and reverently. Talk to your Father. He is here with you. He is listening.
Pray
You will be there
Finally, repeat after me:
“I surrender to the Almighty for deep healing to take place, starting today. I surrender my thoughts, I surrender my emotions. I surrender any control and the desire to control. I embrace Loving kindness, I embrace compassion, I embrace forgiveness”
Hello everybody. I cannot thank you enough for showing up to make the next 21days a reality.
God bless you abundantly, and may all your needs in life be met in every respect. May you all experience an abundance of health, wealth and happiness in your lives and the lives of everyone you touch? Thank you
Introduction
I will cover the background to our 21 day practice in the form of a meditation. This is part of today’s practice.
We begin the practice whilst sitting comfortably. In the second part we lie down and then finish in a seated position. Make sure you have prepared a comfortable seat next to a flat comfortable surface where you can lie down and be perfectly comfortable and warm.
In the first part of the meditation we prepare our minds to hear the background with a breathing exercise. In addition to putting the mind into the theta brainwave State which allows you to experience the deeper meaning of what I tell you in the background, the synchronised, rhythmic breathIng is well known to produce many healing effects on your body. These include stress reduction, improved cardiovascular health and a strong immunity system.
In the second part we listen to the background. Finally in the third part we pray for grace so as to get strength to go through the full 21 day meditation period successfully. We affirm this before we end the meditation in gratitude.
Now sit comfortably and relax. Close your eyes. Breath deeply and slowly into your heart. Focus you attention on the heart centre
Repeat after me: “Today I embark on a journey, a journey of healing. I surrender my thoughts fully and completely to the Almighty to transform me by the renewal of my mind.”
Say it again from your heart.
Now make it even deeper from your heart and mean every word from the core of your being.
Repeat this, with your both your hands placed lightly on the chest with the tips of the fingers touching the throat. The throat is the centre where our energy for decision making is stored.
Repeat after me: “Today I decide to remove negative thought patterns from my being. I embrace forgiveness, compassion and kindness so as to become completely healed of all suffering in any form. I heal myself of all suffering”
I am going to play some music, which will guide us through the breathing exercise. Listen very carefully:
With the music, you will hear the sound of a bell in the background, like this:
Theta Breathing
When you hear this sound you breathe in slowly, softly and deeply through the nose until you hear the sound again. When you hear this sound again, breathe out slowly, softly and completely through the mouth. Keep doing this until I tell you to stop. In through the nose and out through the mouth at the sound of the bell
I will guide you through the first few breaths.
Echoes, Ganesh Mantra II
Now breathe normally and take a few moments to feel the quiet and calming effects of the exercise on your mind. Get used to the silence in your mind and appreciate it. Know it and hold on to it. Your mind is now in the most ideal state to absorb and retain information.
Continue to relax deeply and completely.
Now for the second part, with great care not to lose your relaxed state, carefully lie down on your back with arms on the sides, palms facing upwards. Feet are slightly apart. Eyes closed
Take a quick scan of the body and identify any tense areas and places where you cannot relax. Make soft, gentle mental suggestions for your body to relax. Make the suggestions softer still. “Relax, Relax, Relax”. As you place your attention round the body into parts where you feel any tension, any pain or any form of discomfort.
Relax deeply. You are deeply relaxed. You are in a state where you can hear and understand every word. Listen lightly. You will not sleep. Relax and don’t sleep.
Relax.
Now place your attention to the toes on your left foot. Tell each of your toes to relax.
Move down your left foot and tell it to relax. Feel the warm, gentle sensation of relaxation as you move up the muscles of your leg: the cuff muscles, up your left thigh. Tell the whole left leg to relax.
You might notice that the whole body is already starting to relax. Your left leg is limp, warm and relaxed.
Move to the foot of your right leg. Tell each toe to relax.
Relax the whole foot, the cuff muscles and muscles on the whole leg. Tell your thigh muscles to relax.
Now both your legs are relaxed.
Take a moment to relax the fingers and thumb on your left hand. Move up the forearm and tell it to relax. Continue up the muscles of the upper arm and the shoulder and tell all the muscles to relax.
Now move your attention to the fingers and thumb on your right hand. Tell them to relax as you relax the hand, the wrist forearm and upper arm. Your right had is now relaxed. Right shoulder is fully relaxed.
Now relax your whole torso and feel your whole body sink into the surface where you are. Move your consciousness up and look behind at your body, lying there like an abandoned coat.

Background to the practice
In our healing practice over the next 21 days, we will be focusing on opening our hearts to receiving healing for ourselves and our loved ones as well as to give healing to others, Mother Earth and the entire universe. We will be sending healing energy wherever it is required, whether past, present or in the future.
According to a Zen saying:
“All suffering, is born of mind; but mind cannot fix, what mind created. ……. Sorrow and struggle is found only within your conceptual thinking.”
Every form of suffering we experience in life is some form of illness that needs to be healed. According to this Zen saying, all these illnesses are created in the mind, and yet the mind cannot heal itself. By our thoughts we create all our experiences, but once we get stuck in suffering, the mind cannot redeem itself. A mind stuck in negative thought patterns cannot heal itself.
The Bible says in Romans 12.2: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
You just need to go out, and hear people talk, or meet some people who within a couple of minutes will give you the details of their life histories, to see the nature of this world and the suffering there is out there. And if you watch TV or read newspapers, you sure receive a daily dose of the suffering that has become rampant in this world. I see fear, one of the lowest forms of thought patterns- a sickness that perpetually exists within many people these days. I hear it in almost every conversation. I have also lost a few friends for advising them not to be fearful but to bring love and positivity into their lives. “How dare you take away my priciest possession? My fear protects me from the future” they seem to say. How often people say “worst case scenario”?
That is why the Bible says do not be conformed to this world. It means do not identify with the suffering of this world-with the fearful thoughts and negativity of this world. Do not be part of the sickness of this world. Be transformed by changing the way you think. Yet remember, once you are stuck in the thought patterns of sickness and fear, you cannot get yourself out of this. This is especially true when you become attached to victimhood. This is the state where you get attention from people who sympathise with you. How often do you hear people competing to tell their victim story first?
“You don’t care about me. If you did, you would let me tell you about my experience, then I would feel better” How often have friends, family and even work mates said this to you when you tried to advise them to focus on the good and free themselves from their victim stories. If you are an empath like me, do you ever wonder where those depressive feelings you have the next day after listening to people’s negative stories come from? I have been fortunate to remember a few instances which I could pinpoint a victim story I heard from someone, sometimes even three days later.
When in a state of victimhood, or you become addicted to suffering, the only thing that will save you is the grace of God, which you need to transform you. Only God can free you from destructive thought patterns
When you get transformed, you become a living testimony of the will of God to yourself and to the rest of the world.
But what is the will of God? A Course in Miracles lesson 101 says: “God’s will for us is perfect happiness.” Not just happiness as we have come to know it, but perfect happiness.
But, what is happiness?
According to Mahatma Gandhi: “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” The Greater Good Magazine lists a range of benefits of happiness, including stress reduction, lower heart rates and blood pressure, improved immunity, higher heart rate variability, less aches and pains and better health. According to Wayne Dyer, “Happiness is something that you are and it comes from the way you think”. I say, “Perfect happiness has nothing to do with pleasure which you get temporarily from pleasant external stimuli. It has everything to do with the way you think”.
Aristotle called it “…. the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”
