Lurkings,
I mediated after doing yoga. I sit in front of a lighted candle or a crystal and breath in and out. I empty the mind by counting down from 100 and imagine I see a hand on a blackboard erase the numbers as I speak them in my mind.
I also imagine I´m wearing purple and gold scarves and I weave them around my body. The point is to preserve my energy and closing the mind.
I sometimes imagine there is a Lotus flower on my forehead and it turns while I breathe. I imagine there is a globe in the room and as I breathe it comes closer, gets inside my body and becomes a mass of gold.
