Short Meditations

Leave a comment

Here are three short meditations for those times when we need to re-frame and/or re-imagine our situation.

Open to Possibilities

Close your eyes and breathe out three times. Find yourself in a cocoon, knowing how it feels to be in there and how much you can move around. Now break the cocoon and find your way out. Begin to stretch and with each movement emit a sound. Sense all the different ways your body is stretching and sounding. When you are finished, open your eyes.

Getting Unstuck

Close your eyes and breathe out three times. See yourself stuck in a hole in the ground. Using a little golden spade, a golden shovel or a golden backhoe (whatever you need). Dig yourself out of that place. Then open your eyes.

Changing though Difficulties. 

Close your eyes and breathe out three times. See yourself as a gem being polished through friction. Know that through your trials and difficulties you are being made to shine. Then open your eyes.
