My Morning Meditation

 

Good morning or grand rising,

(whichever speaks to your soul)😊 this morning I woke up not wanting to return to my bed. Instead, I prepared myself for the day and instead of doing my morning prayers and thanking God for a new day, I decided to go back to a practice that has given me balance.

First, I lay on my back after lighting the incense of my choice, I think it is citrus and myrrh. I place on my crown Chakra 2 crystals one is in amethyst, the other a baby blue Celestine cluster. I asked Alexa to play ocean sounds and began to inhale slowly, hold it and then slowly exhale. I did this as I picture the ocean in my mind or my imagination.

I first give thanks to God for another day, I pray for my family by blood and by love. Those who I know are hurting physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically or financially struggling.  I call a few by name, the other prayers are for those unknown. I pray for what I know I need and for what I need but do not know that I need. I then thank God for my blessings and the blessings I see being gifted to my loved ones (seeing others blessed gives me hope and reminds me God is still God).

 As I come out of my prayer, I am seamlessly shifted into a place of void. I shift my head slightly and my baby blue crystal falls between my eyebrows.  I don't reposition it because this is my third eye Chakra (things happen for a reason).  As my alarm goes off for the second time, I have been at this since 7:35 it is now almost 8:00 o'clock in what was to be a 5-minute meditation, I see nor hear anything.  After a while the smell of my incent is very faint although I know it has not out yet.  I see nothing yet something, abstract figures, colors connecting yet not.  I am truly in a meditative state.  I feel vibrations throughout my body it is a very comforting feeling like low shockwaves, yet the vibrations keep me from falling into a state of sleep.  As I inhale and exhale, feeling the random vibrations, looking into nothingness.. These words come to me.

 Oh God of all, bless me in a way I can't call because I don't know nor understand my current needs. Great spirit guides help me to be a light into someone else’s darkness today.  Help me to walk in light and positively.  Wise ancestors, known and unknown protect me! protect my children! (at this point I specifically speak the name of each of my children and the protections that I think they need).  I place my hands on my head, I asked today to be GUIDED into today's purpose, that I make great decisions and demonstrate leadership qualities. I touched my heart, I asked that it works in combination with my head and with one hand being placed between my eyebrows I awaken my intuition.  I ask that it continue to speak me, translating the headings/messages from the Holy Spirit.

Now let's be clear I pray to God, I discuss the day with my spirit guides and I talk to my ancestors as counsel for they know me, I came from them. 

As I return to my space, my hands rise up taking in all blessings, I push my hands down rejecting all negativity and I raised my hands up, receiving all I need for the day, pushing down all that distracts and blocks me. I rise ready for the day

Amen….So be it or so may it be
