Virtual-Realization Meditation
· Do breathing exercise, 1-4-2-4, using 8 repetitions.
· Say your mantra (affirmation) for several minutes
· Do a guided visualization:
o Walk down a shaded road
o See a lush green meadow in front of you
o Walk into the meadow
o See deer grazing, butterflies hopping from flower to flower
o A little stream flowing through the meadow
o See your unwanted thoughts flowing away, down the little stream
o See a closet door in front of you.
o Open the door and see a variety of outfits hanging
o Choose the one you want. Put it on. See yourself in the new role that this outfit represents. See yourself performing in this new role. What are you doing? What are you like, what are you feeling? Position your body to take on a position that complements this role, this new outfit.
o Remove the outfit and hang it back up into the closet.
o Close the door and return to the meadow.
· Don’t get attached to the outfit or role or any outfits or roles.
· Play the part, but then return to your true identity, to your God self. This is what we do in life as we take on many roles, we play each part well, but we do not become the role.
· We always act appropriately for the role we are playing. This way we reap the maximum benefits.
· Open your eyes, break into small groups, and share the outfits you donned in the meditation. Were their any significant revelations? What roles are you presently attached to?
· Open your eyes, break into small groups, and share insights about those who drain you of your energy and what you are going to do to change the pattern, to get them to stop. Share some ways to recharge your energy.
