Inner Universal Peace ~ A meditation for World Peace Day

Hi everyone!

Just sharing a peace meditation as mentioned in the World Peace Day thread in the General discussion forum.:)

Inner Universal Peace Meditation

By pure-ki

Peace and Love begin with You

Begin in your favourite meditation position, sitting or lying down is fine, whatever is most comfortable to you.

Taking a deep breath in, and on the outbreath letting go of all you don't need for now

And again,
deep breath in
and let go .........

Now each time you breathe in and out add the following mantra saying it silently within

breathe in Light,
breathe out Love

breathe in Love,
breathe out Peace

Keep going with this breath for a while, really feeling the qualities of light, love and peace flowing within the breath,
with your awareness centred in your heart.

If thoughts, feelings, images or sensations arise, just allowing them, not forcing them away or holding on to them.
Not judging just allowing them to come and go.
These are transient against the constant background field of the Love, Light and Peace in your heart, which is where you gently return your attention.

The peaceful Love and Light glowing and growing within your heart space with each breath

This radiant light, love and peace, expanding from your heart now through your whole being,
expanding outside of you,
into the room you are in,
the building,
touching and igniting the hearts of every living being,
in the street,
the town,
the country,
across every border
into every country, extending across the whole world...

all hearts filled with and totally embraced by this one peaceful light from within your heart

Surrounding the whole planet now,
planet earth bathed in the light of Love and Peace,
extending into the galaxy
and the entire universe.

Knowing that there is an unlimited supply of this Peace, this unconditional Love, because it is the very essence of our true nature

.......

Bringing your full attention back to your heart centre, your breathing and the mantra

breathe in Light,
breathe out Love

As you begin closing your meditation now, it is with the awareness that this universal peace and love remains through and beyond all things,
and that you can return to your inner peace at any time,
for it is always within you.

........

Closing affirmation

I am a being of Light
I am a being of Love
I am a being of Peace

Shanti
