Awakening the Ears: A Meditation
This is a meditation to activate our ears, hearing, and listening with love, and to also bring more love into our lives.
Create a sacred space where you can meditate and feel comfortable. Begin to take a few deep and full whole body breaths. Breathing into your feet, hands, and head. When you're ready imagine breathing up your left leg, up the left side of your body, up from your left arm, up your left neck to the crown of your head, all with one inhale. Then exhaling down from the crown of your head, down the right side of the body, exhaling some breath out the right arm, and the rest down the right side of the body, and out the right leg. Practice this up and down breath a few times....
Now bring your attention and breath to your ears. What would it be like to nourish your ears with love? What sounds, words, and music would make your ears happy? What would it be like to listen to yourself and to others with love? What would it be like to find love for your ears each day in the words you speak and in the music of life? As you journey today on this meditation of the ears, begin to imagine ways you can with your sense of hearing bring more love into your body, your life, and world.
The Ears: A Meditation
Imagine your body becoming very heavy and dropping into the earth, as you become very light, lifting off from your body, and traveling out the crown of your head. When you are above your body, feel the presence of your spirit greet you, and surround you in beautiful love and light. Your spirit wants to take you on a journey to a place in the clouds where you can receive a sound healing for your ears and other blessings. Holding hands with your spirit you both glide upwards towards the sky. Soon you see a large bulbous and fluffy white cloud in the distance that sparkles with rainbow colors. Your spirit guides you in that direction. As you approach the cloud your spirit sings with an angelic voice a verse that parts the clouds and reveals an entrance way. The entrance way leads to a healing room in the center of the cloud. You notice that everything in this room seems to be made of clouds. Even the table you're invited to lie on is really a cloud in the shape of a table. You take a few moments to enjoy the feeling and healing of lying on this cloud.... Your spirit sits at the head of the table, holding your head gently as this healing cloud begins to play music that fills your ears, your mind, and your whole body with a great love. Take a few moments to listen to this ethereal music that is meant to cleanse and fill your ears, your sense of hearing, and your body with seeds of love.... As the music comes to a close, you're invited to set an intention for a way you can use your ears to listen even more with love.... When you have set your intention express gratitude for the healing you have received from this cloud. As you rise from the table, your spirit is there, and begins to guide you out of the cloud and back down towards earth. Your spirit brings you to this very verdant hill, perhaps somewhere in Ireland. There is an ancient oak tree on top of this hill, and you go and sit underneath its canopy of leaves. The air twinkles with magic and electricity. You're told by your spirit that there are two birds in the tree above that have messages for you from your healing session in the clouds. You close your eyes and listen for them. In your left ear you soon hear a bird singing a song for you. In that song there is a message about a way to bring more creativity, joy, and happiness to your life. Take a few moments to listen to the message from this bird.... Soon you hear the song of another bird travel into your right ear. In this bird's song there is a message about an action you can take to bring you closer to one of your dreams. Take a few moments to listen to the message from this bird....It's now time to return to your body, you thank the birds and this magical place for your messages, and holding hands with your spirit you begin heading back. As you arrive near your body, your spirit gives you a gift to remind you of today.... You accept this beautiful spirit gift and embrace your spirit in a warm hug that expresses your deepest gratitude.... You promise to stay connected and guided by your spirit as you return to your body. Now that you're back in your body take a few breaths and remember the places you visited, the healing, the messages, and the gift you received.... The invitation is to awaken your ears and life with new seeds of love and passion that grow and can be found every where and in every moment.
The mantra for the ears: I will speak and listen with love.
