A Meditation to Ground, Center, Protect & Connect you with the Realms of Light
(This meditation is the first track of Mariah’s CD “Journey to the Realms of Light, Volume I”)
The following are a few guidelines for communicating with your Angels, friends and family in Spirit. When opening yourself to the Spirit World stay completely
clear of the influence of drugs or alcohol. You want to communicate with beings from the Higher Realms of Light, rather than unevolved beings from the lower realms.
Begin with a prayer before your meditation, asking for whatever help you may need from Spirit during our time together ~ and be as specific as possible.
- Sit quietly in a comfortable position , back straight, using a cushion on the floor or a chair, and watch your breath, the Gift of Life, flowing in and out.
Notice its coolness as it flows in and its warmth as it flows out. Your mind will begin to drift away almost immediately. Gently, but firmly, bring it back to the
present moment. Continue to watch your breath flowing in and out. Don’t push thoughts away; accept and acknowledge them; allow them to float away, like clouds
in a summer sky. You can get back to them later, or not. Let yourself begin to really slow down and relax.
- Now, wrap yourself in a cocoon of golden light (or intuitively choose another beautiful color) and affirm to yourself that you are providing a safe and sacred
sanctuary to talk to those in Spirit. Call upon only the highest and the best from the Realms of Light, and ask your Guides, family and friends in Spirit to be with
you. Ask for healing in body, mind, heart and Spirit, knowing you will receive what you need.
- Ground yourself whenever you sit to meditate , pray or talk with those in Spirit. Imagine that there is a tap root (like a big old tree might have) attached
to the base of your spine at the tailbone. Visualize yourself sending your tap root way down into the core of Mother Earth, slowly reaching downward into the
Earth. When you “see” the core of Mother Earth, imagine a large boulder waiting there for you. Wrap your tap root around it so that you feel
grounded, centered, balanced, connected. You may also choose to draw Mother Earth’s vibrant energy, strength and ancient wisdom (and whatever else
you may need) into yourself with every inhalation.
- Continue to watch your breath , feeling more and more centered and grounded. Now, you will begin to raise your vibrations, while those in the World of Spirit
lower theirs. You’ll meet in the loving vibrations that you and Spirit are creating, and create a clear connection (in due time and with diligent practice!) ~
rather like making a telephone call!
- To begin to raise your vibrations, imagine your spirit self floating to the top of your head to the area known as the Crown Chakra . Visualize the top of your
head opening like a camera lens. Then, imagine a flower floating just above the top of your head. Choose a favorite flower with many petals, or the Thousand
Petalled Lotus, which those in the Far East call this center. Now, see the petals of the flower opening and changing into rays of Light. Imagine that as you
breathe out through the top of your head you are sending out beams of Light, like a fountain. Your Angels will show you the colors to use. Begin to feel very
expansive, playful, and joyful, sending out those beams of Light high and wide into the World of Spirit, which is all around us and overlaps our reality. Have
clear intention to make a good connection with your Angels and loved ones in Spirit. Continue to raise your vibrations until you become very peaceful, uplifted
and begin to feel a connection with Spirit.
- Now, begin to open yourself and all your spiritual senses . You may see, hear, feel or sense your Angels and loved ones. You may see a face, hear a voice
calling your name or hear music. You might smell something lovely like roses, or experience feelings of great peace and a knowing that everything will be well.
You may sense the presence of those in Spirit with your skin, feeling tingles, goose bumps or a light touch. Be open to what comes and don’t analyze until
later. Open and listen with your spiritual ears, see with your spiritual eyes. Write down what comes to you for verification later on. You will learn over time to
distinguish between your own mind and your Guides’ voices. Sometimes, your own subconscious will jump in with judgment and negativity. Know that your Guides
will never come with harsh words, negativity and judgment, or make you feel guilty, frighten you or be angry with you. They know how difficult life upon Earth
can be. They come with love, patience and understanding and to help and encourage wherever they can. Be aware also that undeveloped entities who want attention
may come into your consciousness if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol when opening to the Spirit World. I, therefore, also strongly
recommend that you avoid playing with Ouija boards and similar devices. Such substances and devices tend to attract only entities who are Earthbound or of the
lower realms. Always work with those in the Higher Realms of Light.
- Let go of any fear. We are spirit beings living temporarily in a physical body. Those in Spirit World live in spiritual bodies composed of light, color and
energy. We are truly all one in Spirit. You can choose who you communicate with. Allow only those beings who feel right to you to come into your “space.”
If something or someone doesn’t feel right, call upon your Guides to protect you, then tell the energy or entity to leave, go to the Light, or
simply “buzz off.” Entities or spirit beings who are stuck in lower planes of consciousness need your compassion and prayers, and a firm command
to move on to the Light. You control who is allowed into your sacred space. Setting boundaries is important, whether on this side of life or the other side!
Relax, enjoy and take the Road Home for just a little while during your connection with Spirit ~ allowing a refreshment of your Self in all levels of your being.
