Awakening The Eyes: A Meditation

This is a part of a meditation series to activate and bring more love into our bodies and lives. The meditations are fulfilling a vision and experience that I had during a spiritual journey. The eye meditations are the first part of the series.

Awakening The Eyes: A Meditation

Find a comfortable position either lying down or sitting up and connect yourself to the ground or the earth by your intention to do so. Begin by doing a few slow circles with your eyes as if they were touching the numbers of a clock, and then a few circles with your eyes in the other direction. Bring all of your attention to your eyes as they begin to warm from these exercises. With your eyes open begin to take a few deep breaths, filling your whole body with breath, and then exhaling fully and completely out through your eyes.

We will now look with our eyes in different directions and gather the energies from the sacred directions and bring them within. Look up to the sky with your eyes, and with your breath inhale the energy of the sky into your body through your eyes and exhale your breath into the earth through your feet or tail bone. Repeat a couple of times......Then looking down with your eyes to the earth inhale the earth energy through your eyes and exhale your breath out your feet or tail bone. Repeat a couple of times..... Looking to the left with both eyes inhale the energy of that direction to your body through your eyes and exhale your breath from your body to the earth. Repeat a couple of times..... Looking to the right with both eyes inhale the energy of that direction to your body through your eyes and exhale to the earth. Repeat a couple of times..... Looking straight ahead inhaling the energy in front of you to your body through your eyes and exhaling out your arms and legs. Repeat a couple of times..... Lastly looking with both eyes towards the tip of the nose and inhaling the inner energy through your eyes to your whole body and exhaling your breath out your hands and feet. Repeat a couple of times..... Close your eyes and feel the life force activated in your eyes from the exercises.

Next, Begin rubbing the palms of your hands together for a few moments until a nice warm heat is generated, then place your warm palms over your eyes, a salve for them, and let the warmth enter your being through your eyes. Then imagine small seeds of light entering from your charged hands into your eyes and extending from the eyes to their connection at the center of the brain. Those little light seeds are seeds of pure love, and they are integrating themselves in your eyes and filling them with light and love. Returning your palms to a comfortable position, take a few moments to imagine those seeds like little stars blessing your eyes, everything you see with them, and your life with lots of love, light, and beauty.....(Pause)

Then the invitation is to draw breath from your whole body, your feet, your hands, your heart, the crown of your head, and bring that breath to your eyes, let the breath mingle with your seeds of light in your eyes, and then exhale that breath of light to your head and then back down to your whole body. Repeat a couple of times....

This time repeat the inhale of drawing breath from your whole body, bring the breath to your eyes and let mingle there with the love and light seeds, and then exhale that breath, beauty, and love out through your eyes to the rest of your day. Repeat a couple of times......

Again repeat the inhale of drawing breath from your whole body, bring the breath to your eyes and let it mingle there with the love and light seeds, and then exhale that breath, beauty, and love out through your eyes to the whole world. Repeat a couple of times......

Your eyes have been activated with love, light, and beauty. The invitation is to see with new eyes today. To look and find love in yourself, your life and world. To look and find the joy and the light inside you, and in your life and the world. To look and find beauty in yourself, your life, and your world.

What is like to look in the mirror and see yourself as beautiful? What is it like to hold only beautiful thoughts about yourself?

What colors do you see around you? What can you see that brings you joy? How many beautiful manifestations can you see today in your life?

Can you see love in action in the world? Can you notice the love today in your body, in your life, and in your world?

What do you want to see today? (Take a few moments to visualize your desires...)

When you're ready bring your attention and breath back to your whole body and to this time and space. Review and appreciate the new insights you have received and your new eyes. With your new eyes send gratitude out to your world and the blessings you have received. The wish is that you may continue to see and find the world of your dreams. Remember a new vision is always within you, every moment, the seeds are there ready to awaken to new sights, inspirations, and ways of being.

The mantra of the eyes: I am going to see and appreciate the beauty, love, and the seeds I've planted in the world.
