sass85, Breathe deep. Close your eyes. Starting at 10 sowly count backwards. Sit with a straight back, but do not overdo it so that the back becomes tense. Concentrate on focusing your awareness/attention on specific muscles of your body. Starting with your head, feel the tension drain downward out of your face. Move your awareness down the neck – imagine that you can push the tension downward and that the muscles relax and soften. Continue down the body, especially work on the shoulders and stomach muscles. Keep moving the tension downward until you reach your feet. At this point imagine all the accumulated tension is forced out of your feet and into the floor. Imagine/feel your tension moving out of your muscles and down your body so that all the tension finally runs through your feet and into the ground.

After you feel all your tension being released from your body, open your eyes half open. Concentrate on the following picture for a few seconds, or something you envision that is appealing to you. While you are concentrating, try to imagine yourself in this scene. Then, gradually try to concentrate on one particular part of the scene. Feel that this particular place which you have selected is where you are in reality. After a few minutes, concentrate on the entire scene again, and feel that you are part of the whole scene. Continue focusing on this scene, concentrating first on the particular place you are at in this scene—and then on the entire scene. While you are doing this, please try not to allow any thought to enter into your mind. Try to make your mind absolutely calm, quiet and tranquil.

After some time, please close your eyes and try to see the scene that you have been concentrating on inside your heart. Then, in the same way that you concentrated
on the scene, kindly concentrate on the scene inside your heart, with your eyes closed.

If this little mediation has helped you to release some of your negative energy......enjoy its peace......and take some time to bask in its tranquity!

Love and Peace,
Phoenix
