Mandala Meditation

for relaxation and calm:

To begin your meditation select a quiet time and sit with a straight back.

Light some incense if it feels appropriate.

You might want to play some quiet meditative music.

Because the mandala image will be on your computer screen,

try to sit in a way that is comfortable for your neck, your back, and your eyes.

Take your time getting comfortable, the image may be slow to load.

Fold your hands in your lap or place them palms up on your thighs.

Begin with a prayer

and set your intention of using this time

of meditation and contemplation to move into a place of relaxation and calm.

I like the phrase "I let go completely now."

For the reflective portion of your meditation

just sit quietly, eyes open, gazing at the mandala,

and allow a gentle peace to wash over you.

Everything is going to be all right.

If you find your eyes wandering gently bring them back to the mandala.

If you find your eyes watering, or feeling heavy,

allow them to close while keeping a mental image of the mandala in your mind.

If your thoughts wander,

gently bring them back..

Maintain this quiet time for however long you choose..

Allow yourself to enjoy the experience.

Now, close your eyes.

and conclude your meditation with thoughts, affirmations

or prayers for personal and world peace.

Meditating regularly over a period of time brings spiritual discipline,

and produces ever longer stretches of centeredness and peace.
