The Art of Healing

An Introductory Meditation Course

Meditations

The additional meditations that accompany the course are developmental, and entirely voluntary. Successful completion of the course does not depend on doing these meditations. However, as you work through the cards each of these will become more accessible to you and you may wish to use them to further enhance your spiritual development.

Periodically, sense into each meditation in turn. Does the starting point resonate with you? If not, wait. However, if you feel a particular meditation calling to you, then follow your intuition. There are no rules or guidelines here; no regulations to stipulate how, when or why. If you listen to your inspiration you will know the right time to tackle each and, at that time, you will gain the most benefit. The important message here is to listen to the Divine. Remember that there are no short cuts and no need to hurry.

Because of the power of these meditations it is especially important that you ensure that you are fully grounded upon completion. If you retain any sense of unreality, or if you feel spacey in any way, there are steps you can take:

First sip the water at your side. Visualise a shaft of light flowing from your crown through all off your energy centres down into the earth. Really sense this energy leaving your feet, passing through the crust of the Earth to its core, and wrapping itself around a point in the very centre of the Earth. Breathe through this cord and feel your feet becoming firm upon the ground and your energies settling. Switch your weight first to the left foot then to the right then both together to ensure an even balance. Is your head becoming clearer? Do you feel fully in your body? When you are sure that the answer to this is yes, have something to eat and drink, but no alcohol.

The Heart of the Forest

Imagine you are standing in a field with long grass waving in a gentle breeze. The ground slopes away to a winding stream. There are no sounds except for the babbling brook and the sweet sound of the birds singing. All is at peace as you walk down towards the stream and see stepping-stones. How many stones are there? Carefully walk across onto the bank at the other side.

Walking up the path you find the ground begins to level out and in the distance you see a vast forest. Walk slowly towards this ancient and sacred woodland and, when you arrive at the entrance, don’t forget to ask permission of the Forest Guardians to enter their domain. Remember that this is their territory and it is only through their kindness that we can enter into their sanctuary.

Following the path you soon arrive at a clearing. At its centre is a very large and incredibly ancient oak tree. Beside this wonderful tree is another Guardian, and you must ask permission to climb up into its branches.

Once this is granted, climb up into the branches, where you will find an emerald green tree house. Enter; once inside take a good look around. Is it empty, dusty, full of old unwanted junk, in need of repair, or is it beautiful, welcoming, a haven of tranquility? If it needs work doing to it, do what is necessary. If you need help, then there are plenty of magical beings who are willing to be of service, once you ask nicely; remember to thank them after it has all been done.

Once this tree house is as you would wish, take some time to relax and let the tree give you healing to replenish any that you have spent doing all that renovation, or to have that extra bit of energy that you need at this moment.

When you feel you have all the healing you need and are ready to return, then close the tree house door, thank the tree and climb down where the Guardian is waiting for you with two gifts. One is a silver rod almost as tall as you are with clear quartz crystals at either end and around is twined several strands of delicate gold thread. The other gift is a crystal of your own choosing. Thanking the Guardian you walk away. At the edge of the clearing you turn and look back, knowing that this sacred tree will always be with you in your heart.

Walking down the path to the entrance of the forest, you reflect back on what you have found here, and know that you can go back to that tree house anytime you wish, just by thinking about it. Soon you arrive at the edge of the forest where the Guardians are waiting.

Thanking the Guardians, you say goodbye and start to walk back to the stream and the stepping-stones. Once across the stepping stones and into the field of the long grass, you become aware of where your physical body is, and with every single step you take you come back into the physical everyday world, fully aware of where you are and of this present moment in time and when you are ready open your eyes to a new world.

Please note: You may repeat this meditation as many times as you wish, substituting a different colour for the tree house, violet for instance to represent the crown chakra; trust your intuition in this.

Further meditations are available in the book based upon the course and in the Members’ Section.
