A Reading Meditation

Copyright By: Cosmichild

This is simply another method you may find useful. As with the waking Meditation, there is no true and correct method, only that which you find works for you. I thought I'd share this channeled piece so that you have another type of meditation to choose from.  If you find you are bored within the first few minutes, that’s ok. Accept that this is not the method for you�?do not force yourself to read through. If however, you find yourself carried away by the words.. You may have found your ‘space’�?read on. For me this works very well because my mind is driven by the written word much of the time and I find my ability to focus is greater with something to read. Let me know if you find this helpful..

A Reading Meditation

Channeled September 7th & 8th 2005 Copyright By: Cosmichild 

Sit comfortably, either at your computer screen, or with this meditation printed out in front of you.

Allow the words, flowing on the page, to unravel for you, a journey into your own inner sanctum. You may like to retype or reword parts for yourself next time, to reflect your own quest, or thirst for answers and insight. There is no rigid structure, nor right and wrong methods. The exercise is designed to create a meditative state for those who find focus in written words and language, rather than audible ones. It will not be the method for everyone, but it may work for you. It's simply another available 'way' which many already use but do not recognize.

Allow the images the words paint for you, to evolve into a story you can participate in, even as you read on. You feel a cool, comforting breeze begin to blow, and gently touch your cheek. Tilt your head sideways and allow the breeze to gently lift your hair.

The sun is shining gently as it heads toward the west, and seems to shine into you rather than just on you. You feel a pastel coloured cloud swirl in, and begin to encircle your feet. Close your eyes in your min, and allow the cloud to lift you out of the room. The cloud floats, taking you upward through the sky.

Let it take you further. You float through the Earth's atmosphere and find yourself looking back at the beauty of your home planet. Look at all the different shades of green and blue running into oneanother to create a beautiful orb of life and energy.

Drift further upward. You float through the stars and planets, allowing them to flow like liquid quicksilver around you. Ahead you see a nebula.

A cosmic fog of particles drifting together. You aren't afraid of this unknown, because here, with your cloud to protect you, you are free. You are safe to observe what unfolds around you. The cloud takes you into the nebula.

You cannot see more than a few centimeters in front of you, but your vision begins to clear as you reach the centre - the heart of the nebula.

The cloud drifts downward and you are surprised as it swirls away from your feet, to find yourself beside an enormous, but gently flowing river.

The grass is green and soft beneath your bare feet. The cloud remains beside you, and you look at it in awe. There are so many colours and shades which make it whole. You find yourself mesmerized by the colour and form. While you watch, the cloud swirls once again, and begins to change shape. You feel love and understanding radiate outward from the cloud, to envelop you.

As you continue to marvel at this wondrous image before you, you notice the cloud beginning to form and solidify. The colours swirl upward and outward, and transform themselves into a human form. You will not immediately recognize the person who has manifested before you. Look at this being a little more closely.

Are they male or female?

How can you tell?

Start at their feet�?are they bare?

Are they touching the grass as yours are or are they floating just above it?

What is this being wearing?

Is this a small or large being?

Do you recognize the person standing before you?

Do you know this person at all, but that is fine. You know they belong to you, and you know too, that you have yearned for their presence.As for their name, so that you may call them by it.

Whether this being is a loved one who has passed, or a guide you are meeting for the first time today, they are here to help you to understanding something important �?something vital to your growth or your current life journey. Thank them for being here with you. The entity begins to speak to you.The voice you hear is familiar to you, and has a gentle quality which you recognize as being born of pure love and selflessness. Listen as your message is delivered by this beautiful messenger of light. You will remember these words as though they are etched into your very soul.

It is a short but vital message, only for you. Your guide or loved one thanks you for finding a channel of communication.  It is you who have created the time and place needed for this communication.

They explain to you that they have always been with you, waiting for you to find your way to connect to them. They are overjoyed that you made it possible on this day.

They assure you that they will remain with you, and that by this method, your communication with them will become more frequent, and much easier. They wrap you in their love.

Again while you watch, the form begins to swirl and change. The colours blend and weave themselves together to become once again, the cloud you allowed to carry you here. Any small sadness you may feel as the cloud returns, you recognize as your own attachment to the human form.

Nothing has changed but the face your loved one or guide took on in order for you to accept their energy. The cloud and the entity are one and the same. You have lost nothing �?they remain by your side.

Go now, to the very edge of the vast river you see. Look for the perfect rock to sit on and dangle your feet into the gentle current. Sit down, and let your feet slide into the fresh, clear water. Notice the way its cool breath makes your toes tingle. This is the River of Life.

Look upstream to the source of the current. You cannot see where it begins. Look downstream…you cannot see where it ends. You acknowledge that all you see is here and now. Cup your hands and fill them with the healing water flowing through the River of Life. Feel your lips tingle with energy as you drink from your own hands.

Feel this cool, gentle healing energy flow into your body, gently caressing every molecule of your being, smoothing out injury, and filling damaged cells with love. As the water reaches your toes from the inside, feel the tips of each toe gently opening to released the impurities the water has washed away. Release your pain, your worries, your passions and your dreams into the River of Life. Allow the healing water to wash your suffering away in its current to be purified.

Allow your hopes and aspirations to flow into the current so that Spirit can help you put them into action. They will return to you cleansed and full of New Hope and inspiration. Watch them bob and weave with the current until they are out of view. You have released them to Spirit, knowing you will be refilled.

Allow your toes to close, as the last molecule of pain or hurt is released from your body. Cup your hands once more, and again feel the tingle of the water’s energy touching your lips. This time, the energy has no need to cleanse, but is purely tingling to fill you. Feel the energy from the River of Life slowly and gently filling you with love.

You experience gentle waves of love, compassion, acceptance, understanding and spirituality through your soul. You give a silent prayer of thanks for the healing and guidance you have received in this special place. You stand now, and step back onto the grass, and then your cloud.

Take a look around you just before you are ready to leave. This beautiful place is etched indelibly into your memory, and you are comfortable with the knowledge that you can return here any time you wish.

You can come here to be healed, to be refilled, to talk with your guides, or to explore other wondrous areas you know exist here, off at all angles. Take a deep pure breath of air and hold it in your body for a second. Let it out slowly as you let your cloud know you are whole, and ready to return.

The cloud swirls and lifts you...

Back into the nebula...

Back through the planets and stars...

Back through the Earth’s atmosphere...

It brings you home a little faster than when you first left, because it senses you are ready to move on with your journey...... your plans.  You are back where you began with the swirling colours around your feet. The cloud begins to dissipate, but you know it will remain with you, just out of sight.

Allow your mind’s eye to open again...

You feel whole, full of energy�?And so very alive...
