Yoga Alternatives Meditation

This meditation is best done after performing a series of asanas. Lie on your back in Final Savasana.

Close your eyes and take your focus inward, to your breath.
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth with an “ahhh” sound.
Take a moment to appreciate your breath ~ for it is a gift from God.
Hear yourself breath, feel your lungs expand and contract.

When you are ready, envision yourself … lying in a meadow with tall grass all around you, blue sky, puffy clouds, and the sun is warming your face as it shines from directly above. Off in the distance you can hear the ocean tides gently rolling in and out. (You can hear the ocean in your breath, in through the nose, out through the mouth.)

See if you can feel a gentle breeze blow across your body, smell the salty air, feel the peace of this place. (Know that you can always return to this place through the breath.)

Feel the mat and the earth beneath you, feel the warm sunlight from above.
Bring your attention to the sunlight.
The light is bright and warm as it caresses your body.
Allow this light to represent all that is good, all that is pure, the essence of LOVE.
God is LOVE.
Envision this light of LOVE reaching out to you.
Envision the light of LOVE surrounding your body.

Breathe in the light of LOVE, feel it warm your lungs.
Breathe the warmth, into your head, neck and shoulders.
Breathe into your arms and fingers, feel the warmth.
Breathe the light of love, into your chest and belly.
Breathe the warmth into your legs, feet and toes.
Be thankful for your breath!

Envision your body being surrounded and filled with the energy of God’s LOVE.
Allow your body to feel light and carefree in and surrounded by LOVE!
Envision this light of LOVE renewing your spirit.

Breathe out tension, allow yourself to receive and give, the energy of LOVE.
Feel LOVE around you and within you!

With each inhalation, repeat the word LOVE, until your mind becomes still.
It is in this stillness that we connect body, mind and spirit.

~ This is the perfect time to pray. ~

Most important when you are finished, envision answered prayer!
See it, feel it, believe it!
