Music A Christian guided visualization meditation prayer for healing.
This meditation begins with some simple relaxation exercises where I will invite you to focus on your breathing and relax your muscles.
Then follows a guided visualization prayer which invites God's Holy Spirit to be present and active in those aspects of our lives which require healing.
Begin by making yourself comfortable in your seat.
You may prefer to find a space on the floor to lie down.
If you are sitting,
You may want to rest both feet on the floor and your hands on the tops of your legs,
Either palms down or palms up in a gesture of openness.
You may want to close your eyes to reduce distraction.
Become aware of your breathing.
Notice how your breath feels as it passes through your nose and into your lungs and then out again.
You may want to visualize breathing in a sense of calm and breathing out any sense of tension.
You may want to visualize breathing in a sense of calm and breathing out any sense of tension.
As you follow your breath,
You may become aware of places in your body where you are holding tension.
If so,
I would encourage you to release those muscles.
If you are holding tension in your scalp,
Face,
Jaw or neck,
Let it go.
It's very common for people to hold tension in their shoulders and back.
If you notice that,
Relax those muscles.
You may want to visualize the tension in your shoulders and arms slipping out through your fingers.
If you are holding tension in the muscles of your abdomen or legs,
Let those muscles go and feel the tension slip from your legs through your toes.
In the stillness,
Become aware of God's presence and your self.
In the stillness,
Become aware of God's presence and your self in God's presence.
As feels comfortable,
Invite God's Holy Spirit into your life and circumstances.
Visualize or notice that sense of God's presence as it flows into and through your life circumstances,
Touching your concerns and relationships and your thoughts.
Those you share with others and those which are private,
Those barely conscious and largely unconscious thoughts and impulses.
You may also visualize or notice that sense of God's presence touching your body and that place where mind,
Body and spirit meet.
Take this opportunity to rest your mind and body in that presence.
Accompanying I would encourage you to bring before God the point of concern or hurt which comes to mind.
It may be a concern for yourself,
For healing of body,
Mind,
Spirit or relationships.
It may be a concern for someone you love.
I'd encourage you to bring before God the time communicating silently with God about the concern which comes to mind.
Take time to listen as well for guidance.
Take time to listen as well for guidance.
Take time to listen as well for guidance.
As you are able,
Invite God's Holy Spirit into this situation.
As you are able,
Invite God's Holy Spirit into this situation.
As you are able,
Invite God's Holy Spirit into this situation.
Visualise or attend to that sense of God's Spirit flowing into this situation.
With the eye of faith,
You may want to see this situation touched and changed by God's presence.
Our time here will shortly be coming to an end.
As you rest in this stillness,
Know that God is as close as your breath and always willing and wanting to be invited into the circumstances of your life.
Know also that God will go with you from this place.
Know also that God will go with you from this place.
Slowly,
As you are able,
Gradually become more aware of the room around you.
At the time that feels right for you,
Open your eyes.
Thank you.
