This guided meditation is brought to you by WeymarkMinistries.
Com Make sure you are sitting in a comfortable position,
Your body relaxed,
Your muscles resting,
Your breathing slow and gentle,
In and out.
This meditation is based on having an inner attitude of love to those people who stand against you.
And perhaps we may even class in some fashion as enemies to our way of life.
In the beautiful teaching known as the Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus speaks to his disciples and says,
Love your enemies,
Pray for those who stand against you.
In that way you will be acting as true children of the Divine.
For the Divine gives sunlight to both the evil and the good,
Sends rain on the just and the unjust.
If you only love those who love you,
What good is that?
Even the worst people in the world do that.
If you show loving kindness only to your friends,
How are you different from anyone else?
As you sit,
Rested,
Gently breathing in and out,
Keeping an attitude of peace within yourself.
Draw to mind those people who you struggle with,
Those people who cause you to lose your sense of inner peace.
Those who may stand against you,
Those who in some form you may class as enemies.
Draw them to mind one at a time.
And as you breathe gently,
Maintaining a sense of inner peace and calm with each person in mind,
Simply repeat the lines,
I wish you love,
I wish you peace,
I wish you happiness.
In the following time of silence,
Simply draw each person to mind one at a time.
And repeat that line with a conscious awareness that you are sending this out,
Projecting this towards this person.
I wish you love,
I wish you peace,
I wish you happiness.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Love your enemies.
Pray for those who persecute you.
In this way,
You will be acting as true children of the divine.
When these people that you have thought of come to mind,
Simply repeat with conscious awareness of them,
I wish you love,
I wish you peace,
I wish you happiness.
When you encounter them,
In your heart,
In your conscious awareness,
Say,
I wish you love,
I wish you peace,
I wish you happiness.
In this way,
You are acting as a true child of the divine.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
