INSTRUCTIONS
Before going to sleep each night, recall the events of the day. Naturally, only the negative things will come up first! You will remember all the things that went wrong, all the mistakes that you made and so on.
Instead, take stock of all the things that went right that day.
Not only that, remember the things that could have gone wrong, but didn't! We always take the good things in life for granted. The bus that you didn't miss, the accident that you didn't have, the money you did not lose – all these also count!
You will see, there are far more positive things on your list than negative ones. Focus on them for a few minutes.
The last thing before you lie down to sleep, tell yourself aloud that you are happy and content. Just welcome life as it is, and affirm this in words. Tell yourself that you are ready to cope with anything that the next day brings; you have the strength. Don't just do it mechanically, feel its truth in your heart.
Repeat this affirmation to yourself three times.
Now lie down. As your head touches the pillow, feel clearly that it is not just a pillow, but the very lap of Existence that you are falling asleep on.
Relax and drop into your very source, into the welcoming embrace of Existence.
When you get up in the morning, before opening your eyes, repeat to yourself the same affirmation three times.
You can use this technique to free yourself of any negative emotion like fear, jealousy, worry, etc. Become aware of the negativity and decide to drop it. Replace it with the corresponding positive emotion and make it your affirmation.
Breath of bliss
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
When we are stressed, we experience a sense of tightness inside. We feel as if we are physically shrinking as if our body has become somehow tight and drawn.
Actually, this is true.
When you are stressed, it means your energy level is low. Your pranic layer shrinks and withdraws. This is what you experience as a physical contraction. When you are in bliss, you experience a sense of expansion and lightness. This is your energy expanding and spreading out from you. This technique uses energy to influence emotion.
When your energy level is increased, naturally you are relieved from stress.
DURATION: 11 minutes
If possible, do this meditation in a large airy room, where you can be alone.
If this is not possible, just make yourself as comfortable as you can.
Stand in a relaxed way and close your eyes.
Make sure that no person or object is touching your body.
Now, visualize yourself continuously inhaling and exhaling bliss and light.
As you inhale, feel the soft, blissful light entering your body. Feel it entering and washing every part of your body.
It is filling your body, making you feel light and spongy. Breathe slowly and deeply.
Every time you inhale, feel each pore of your skin blissfully breathing in this light.
As you exhale, the light is radiating from you.
With your eyes closed, hold out your arms and spread your fingers.
