Hi Lorraine,
Thank you sooo much for sharing this wonderful meditation with all of us.
In the Reiki meditations I do with groups I try to create a atmosphere of Love, Protection and Sharing but you humble me, I hope you'll allow me to use the inspiration of your meditation in the ones I use (verbally translated into Dutch but with all the Love and Goodness unchanged).

It's rare to hear so much true Love, Respect and Sincerity so beautiful put into metaphors .

You've got a beautiful warm voice.

I'll "do" the meditation shortly and I'm looking immensely forward to it.

Love, Light and Blessings to you
Grey Wolf

Hi Lorraine,
As sad.. I've "done" the meditation, it's even better, beautiful visions of Healing Light spreading to each corner of the World and touching every living thing.
If you allow me, I'd like to suggest adding some small things to the start and the end of the meditation to induce trance (very light hypnosis), it helps the mind to focus, let go and listen more intense. It's late and I have got a full day ahead of me so just drop me a note if you're interested, I can also try to add sound..

It's a wonderful meditation and especially the feeling of people from all over the World made it very special.
Thank you !!

Many Blessings,
Grey Wolf

hi Grey Wolf

glad you liked it and happy to hear any more suggestions you have. I thought about music but sometimes it distracts... happy to hear your ideas though.

when i create a meditation i don't write it down just speak it out and see what happens, it is a fun and interesting process and i'm very grateful to be a part of it.

thanks for taking the time to give feedback - let's hope we all contribute to a more peaceful planet.

Hi Lorraine,

Just a short answer (I'll try to write the rest tomorrow).
I agree music usually distracts unless you're using it to condition people.. Can be quite powerful but I don't thinks it's suited for this kind of meditations.

I never write down my meditations either, they come from the Heart (as the should) and no two are ever alike.

And as you so rightfully say in your meditation (or the recognition of what I tell people) is that you should try to plant the seeds of Kindness, Love, Respect and Understanding (plus a million more things) each day. At a certain moment, when the time is ready, they'll start to grow and blossom.. In my view we should reach out to the people that share our path in life (for many lives or just for a moment) and plant those seeds so they, in turn, may sow again when they in turn have seen the growth and blossom.

Sorry Lorraine,
It's late and I've had a busy day, I won't forget to send you what I promised but I want to take the time to do it right.

Hi Lorraine,
As promised. (first of all, English is not my native tongue.. I'll do my utmost to formulate as good as possible but it will be "off" at times, please read between the lines for my true intentions)
To be honest I dislike the term hypnosis, it's often associated with "circus like" performances.. I prefer the term "trans induction", I also firmly believe that people can't be forced into doing things under trance that they wouldn't in there conscious state..
I think people have to feel SAFE before they will give in fully, I always (with any therapy) take the time to listen to people and make them feel at ease, accepted and loved.

The technique I use is called 5-4-3-2-1 and consists of first of 5 verifiable statements, then
4 plus one suggestion ending with 1 verifiable statement and 4 suggestions..
I use it (just an example) as:

Voice:
Speak at about 1/3rd of your normal tempo with a deep resonating voice (I love yours)
Correct volume, not too soft
Use the tempo of your (calm) breath in your speech.

5-4-3-2-1 (Example)
5
I want to ask you to sit down comfortably and relax,
be surprised by what you're about to experience,
know that you're safe in your chair surrounded by kind people,
what could be more beautiful that to embark on a journey in such an environment,
listen to my voice and allow your self to explore.

4+1
as you're sitting in your chair,
and feel how your back is leaning into the chair,
whilst your feet are resting on the floor,
and your arms rest on your lap,
and you notice that you feel more secure and at ease

3+2
While you're listening to my voice,
and all the other sounds present,
you feel your breath flowing ... in ... and ... out,
that makes more and more calm,
whilst you totally relax

2+3
You feel the warmth of your hands resting on your lap,
whilst you're aware of your eyelids covering your eyes,
this will make you feel comfortable,
which allows you to be able to rest and relax more and more,
and get into contact with pleasurable moments and memories

1+4
You notice how the rhythm of your breathing in ... and out,
creates a quite balance for you,
whilst you start to dream about pleasant things in the future or in your past,
that allows you to call more and more upon your unimagined,
options and possibilities that are present inside of you,
and allow you to grow and grow.
(sorry the translation is not as well as I'd hoped it would be..)

If people are in a trance state you can create suggestions for almost everything, the important thing is that you allow people to form their own image of things..
For example if you want to lead them to a special please for them to feel completely at ease you could use something like:

Please go the that special place, that please you can feel safe, secure and completely at ease. Be surprised where your unconscious mind will lead you.

I often (nearly always) use:
My voice is a beacon that will always lead you back no matter where you are.

Whilst you're sitting here and listening to the sound of my voice you're able to relax more and more.

End the trance by picking up the speed of your voice and suggest:
"when you're ready come back to the here and now and your own pace"
"Wiggle your fingers and toes" (helps people to shift focus..)
and take some time to let the people come back, if needed repeat the previous suggestions..

I'll try to see if I can give you a spoken example, it's a bit stuffy like this.. but I hope it can help you to relax people even more during your wonderful meditations.

I'm not sure if I can manage that this week since I'm a bit preoccupied with an upcoming operation coming Tuesday..

Glad to help, I'll send you a recording too, easier to experience then to read ;-)

If you could put me on the list that would be great, Reiki always does miracles on speeding up the healing process. I'll let you know how it went.

Thanks !!
