Meditation helps with being in the present moment. It is a practice of making things real. Do not practise while driving or operating machinery. The disciplined practice of living in stillness can lead to seeing new pathways. It can enable new choices for action that you might not have seen before the practice of stillness.
Meditation: A place of peace
An hour of relaxation, stillness, meditation, and visual imagery. Below are four music tracks from Meditation: A place of peace. Our Spiritual Care Department have made this recording. It makes a meditation session suitable for a beginner and a practiced meditator.
Introduction to the session. Attention to:
- Posture
- Comfort
- Being present to your immediate surroundings
- Your physical body
Two exercises:
- To provide you with a sense of grounding and support
- To relax and to release physical tightness and tension
Mindful or stillness meditation. Guidance in using the breath, use a mantra or simple prayer. The practice of quiet mind skills to build peace within. Periods of silence with the sound of bells.
White light meditation. Imagery can give a profound spiritual experience. It’s one of the ways to activate one's spiritual life. It can act as a link between spirit, consciousness, and matter. Seeing yourself as a body of light can help you feel clarity, joy, or peace.
