I got this in an email yesterday and I thought I'd put it here for anyone who wants to medidtate for inner and world peace...There are as many worlds within our world as there are people in it.
We simply need to BE peace, in all that we are. this meditation reminds us and images us to the meaning that we truly are part of everything...
Begin by Being in whatever position is most comfortable for your meditation. Take a few moments to relax your whole body and mind by simply breathing into your heart. Feel Mother earth support you.
Think of what- or whomever you most love. Allow that feeling of love to fill all of you. Visualize yourself with your beloved in a peaceful place, perhaps snuggling in bed on a Sunday morning or even by yourself jsut soaking up the sun on the beach. Take however much time is required to fill your beig with love and peace.
Now visualise your family and friends, the people you love most. Notice the connection between you... it is from heart to heart. Realise that you are not seperate at all, your hearts are connected. Allow your peace to fill all that you are- including these other people.
Notice that these others are connected to yet more people and the peace that is in you continues to spread even beyond your awareness. Know that it continues until everyone is in peace. It will continue until everyone in the planet is included.
Speed up the process by becoming aware of all of your acquaintances. Notice that you also have a heart connection with these people, though not perhaps quite as strong. These people are part of your reality and part of your being also. Allow your peace to fill these parts of you. Watch as the peace continues to all of the other people that these people know as well, and the ones those people know, etc. on and on.
Now include Mother Earth and her plants and animals. Visualize the places, the plants, and the animals you love. you are connected to them also. Allow your peace to fill thses parts of you. This spreads from the places back to all of the people that have seen these places, and from the plants and trees to all that these know, on and on. Soon every person, every plant, and every animal as well as the skies, planets, and so on,(soon), the whole universe is at peace.
You are connected to all.
Be at peace and carry it with you throughout your day........
To be at peace is to be
'of the earth'...'of the heart'
heart to heart is earth to earth.
