More than Peace, Power & Presence through Meditation

By Sree Meleth

This book is a guide to experiencing the deep peace that comes from learning to be completely at home with you exactly as you are in this moment in your life. As you learn to gain power over your emotions, fears and insecurities that have kept you stuck no longer have power over you and you are able to step into the life of your dreams.

There are ten guided meditations in this book, and each one builds on the previous one.

We first learn to be fully present in our body.
We become an observer of our emotions.
We learn to identify the physical reaction that different emotions create in our body and also learn where we store different emotions in our body.
We focus on the “bad” emotions of anger, grief, fear, shame, guilt, and learn to acknowledge, welcome, and honor them as a part of ourselves. We end with the meditation that teaches you to cultivate joy.
Experience the peace that comes with becoming a fully integrated human being.
We learn how to use these processes to gain power over the multitude of emotions that arise as we step out into the world into our biggest life.

1. FULLY EMBODIED

This meditation helps you to practice coming into your body and being fully present and fully embodied.

Practically, what that means is being aware of having a body and being in it. When we are worried, living in the past or worrying about our future, we tend to be present just in and around our heads and we are in auto-pilot mode with respect to our bodies.

Before you start this meditation take a minute to note what your level of anxiety is. Is your mind racing with all the things you must do?

Are you upset with yourself for something you did or did not do?

Give yourself this gift—a few minutes that are just about you.

1. Sit comfortably, ideally with your feet touching the floor.

2. Take a deep breath, as if you were pulling air from your feet up; feel your abdomen expand and fill your lungs all the way to the top of your shoulders and let out the breath with a sigh.

3. Do this step two more times.

4. As you let your breath assume its normal rhythm, imagine a warm golden light moving up through your feet.

5. Feel your soles warm up; sense your toes filling up; sense both your feet full of this light. As you focus on your feet, pay attention to any sensations, pain, tingling, etc., in your feet. Check to make sure you have your feet flat on the ground. Practice relaxing into the warmth of this light.

6. Feel the light move up your legs, through your ankles. Become aware of your entire lower leg, shins, sides of your legs, calves—all the way to your knees. Let your lower legs ease and relax into this light.

7. The light is moving up your thighs. Become aware of your upper thighs, inner thighs, genitals, lower thighs where your thighs are touching the seat, where your bottom is placed on the seat; both your legs are now filled with and immersed in this warm golden light. Become really present in and aware of your legs. Also become fully aware of how the chair supports you—a metaphor for how the earth supports
