Advanced Meditation
This meditation is an advanced one requiring knowledge of self-relaxation (head to
toe), my Garden Meditation and the Bubble Transport used in many of my other
meditations. If you have familiarized yourself with these elements this one should
be 'easy' too. Enjoy the Journey!

Daily, we are faced with traumas and other negative influences. Being
creatures of love, we are not unaffected by this bombardment from others on
the evolutionary path. The trick is to not be bogged down by things from the
past. The past is there to learn from, so that we might not repeat ugly
mistakes over and over again in life. The problem is the anger that comes
with it. How do we constructively rid ourselves of the anger that life presents
us without harming another?! While there are many methods available for
anger management, I'm only presenting one alternative here today.
That alternative is meditation.
Through meditation we learn to control our breathing, our mental actions and
many other things. Among them can be anger! Don't have time to do a
cleansing "ritual" or action? Do it mentally...it is JUST as effective and you
can do it on the run once you are familiar with the procedure.
Begin by reminding yourself that we are beautiful creations of a loving force
and we are all equal in those "eyes". We might not all be equally evolved, but
remember, on the way up the ladder, you pass many others. Each here for
their own purposes, each evolving, each beautiful and magnificent creations
on a path to self-discovery. Just because one is evolving slower or faster
doesn't make them better or worse than another, it just makes them true to
their own paths!
One of the first signs of anger is an increase in our breathing patterns.
Rapid breath, holding breath, etc. are signs that your mind is being
distracted by some emotion that should be contained and controlled. There
are many forms of meditation and many that will focus on breathing
patterns alone, but for the purpose of this meditation, we are going to use
mental visuals to heighten the activity.
As with any meditation, find a place to relax that can afford you protection
from interruptions for the duration of our meditation. Turn off the phone,
dim the lights, if desired, play some soft, non-vocal music to mask any
sound interruptions along the way.
Sit in such a way as to not be constricted, preferably with your feet flat on
the floor. (for grounding purposes) Ground and center yourself before
beginning. Cleanse yourself of negative emotions by taking three deep
breaths, breathing in the healing, calming light of the universe-breathing out
the dark streams of stress and negativity within. See it change to violet as
it rises away from you, eventually disapating completely.
When you are relaxed, move to your sacred space and step beyond it to your
garden. Go to the grassy field after exploring a little and sit comfortably,
allowing your bare feet to dig deep into the grass, connecting with Mother
Earth. Draw your bubble transport around you, remembering of course that
within the confines of this bubble, you are safe. The air is safe, you are calm
and nothing can bring you harm.
When you are ready, allow the bubble to begin descending into the earth.
Slow enough for your comfort, but fast enough to move through many layers
rapidly. While you are moving downward, think of something that makes
you angry. Think about it calmly and discover the reason it makes you
angry. See the "scene" before you change to movie-like scenes before you,
completely surrounding you, but never intruding in your bubble transport.
Observe the details as they unfold. Note the moment that you began to get
angry. What was the trigger? Allow yourself some time to contemplate these
things.

If you feel you need 'guidance' at this time, it would be very appropriate to
call upon your Guides. You may just speak with them or invite them into
your bubble atmosphere if you choose. Allow yourself to remain calmly open
to positive suggestions that might assist you in remedying the causes of
your anger. Make mental notes so you will not forget when you are out of
meditative mode. During the entire meditation, be mindful of your
breathing. It is very important to make yourself breathe calmly at the first
sign of "irritation" so that you can get in the habit of remembering to step
back and breathe before responding in real life situations.
* By learning to actively control your breath while meditating, you will learn
a very important skill that you can carry over into your normal life. The
ability to calmly breathe during any situation, relaxing yourself and being
able to assess a situation before responding. *
When you feel you have the "situation under control" the bubble begins to
slowly arise. During the return journey, contemplate the new information
you have received, explore the new insights that will assist you in gaining
control over your reactions. Soon the bubble breaks ground and you find
yourself sitting on the grass in your garden once more, the bubble having
disappeared already.
Take a few minutes to just relax and breathe. Breathe a four count (in one
out - in two out - in three out - in four out - in one out...)
Every time your mind wanders off, return your focus to just your breathing.
After a few minutes, stand and move about your garden at your discretion.
When you feel ready, return to your sacred space, knowing that you can
repeat this exercise (and should) at least until it becomes your nature to
respond calmly at any given time.
When you are ready, return to the now moment, completely refreshed and
relaxed. You have a new self-confidence that allows you to approach your life
more boldly, in control of your 'self'. You remember easily all details of this
journey to write down in your journal for posterity.
Walk away from this meditation a new person, aware of the things that
trigger your reactions, armed with the tools to be in control of your emotions
from now on.
