Meditation 1 - "Breath Counting"
This is an easy way to relax and release any stress
from your day. Focus on your inner being through
your breath and reconnect with your spirit.
Being one of the simplest meditations found in
many different schools of meditation, you may
find that different people use different numbers
of breaths or count on in breaths, out breaths,
both or in between breaths. All these meditations
are the same.
This is a wonderful exercise for focusing the
mind and can be done before any other meditation
if you are feeling too stressed to sit quietly
and relax. Just start breathing and follow the
instructions.
Meditation 2 - "Bubble Meditation"
An excellent exercise for clearing the mind from
stress, worries and concerns. It doesn't matter
if your worries are specific or general, or even
known or unknown. This meditation will help to
bring them clearly into your mind and release
them. It is often used in its westernised version
as a form of stress management (all modern stress
management has its roots in meditation). However
when this exercise is repeated often enough you
find yourself left with no stress, worries or
concerns. What have you left but yourself?

3 - "Energy Centres"
This is a mixture of several different meditations.
It is particularly helpful for relaxing, balancing
and healing. It is one of those magical things
that will help you do whatever you need to do
at any time. It can energise you in the morning
and aid restful sleep at night. The idea of "white
light" is used in this exercise simply to
help people who find it difficult to feel or express
the movement of energy. The "white light"
is energy.

4 - "Junk"
We all take on "stuff". People annoy
us and events have a habit of sometimes ganging
up on us at the worst possible time. This meditation
is designed to clear the mind of all these unnecessary
things. It's also a great way to release anger,
lower blood pressure and generally calm down after
an anxious day.
Meditation 5 - "Chakra Breathing"
The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit for
wheel. People who see energy often see our own
energy centres as spinning wheels of light. Variations
of this meditation are common and can be worked
with for self-awareness, energising, focusing
and healing. This version is directed primarily
towards healing although if repeated regularly,
as with all meditations, it will take you to the
same place of enlightenment.
Meditation 6 - "White Cloud"
Sometimes we just need to relax and this meditation
is designed just for that. Imagine yourself floating,
wrapped in cotton wool and just being. Being calm
and peaceful. Having a clear mind, your heart
filled with love, your body totally relaxed and
your spirit soaring.
