Heart Meditation

This Meditation is useful if you have blood pressure issues. If your blood pressure is high you can manage it with this method, usually without too much difficulty, the beauty of this meditation is it only takes a few minutes once you get used to it. In the beginning you may find it a little difficult depending on how well you visualize but it is worth persevering as the long term benefits cannot be ignored. It is a mistake to think you need to have extensive training to meditate most people can day dream or relax and lose focus for a minute on the world around them. this in effect is meditation. when you have a goal and work a process you will have the same gains

I have had one woman report that her blood pressure was the lowest it had been in fifteen years, she had a dangerous condition and was well overweight. It does not matter what your lifestyle choices are, or what medications you are using, this meditation is definitely an option worth exploring as a complimentary method of management.

It is recommended you use this meditation at least 3-5 times daily for at least one-two weeks. When you have adequate proof of a reduction in blood pressure to a safe and satisfactory level you can then use the meditation at any time you feel your pressure rising, in anxiety causing situations, or where you are working physically hard.

When done regularly you should be able to quickly recognize any rise in pressure and manage it early. Initially you may find it easier to settle into a comfortable place to sit or lie down but once you have mastered this simple technique you will be able to do this anywhere in moments.

1. begin by taking nice deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, breathing into your tummy.
2. Focus your attention on your breath,  with every breath in, breathing in a nice deep relaxation.
3. With every breath out, breathing out any tension that may be in your body right now
4. When you feel calm and relaxed I want you to imagine a red light coming up from your feet, allow this light to come up your body, do not direct it in any way, you may want to imagine that your body is a barometer and the red is a measure. Be patient and allow the red to come as far as it wants to go, it does not matter if the red goes higher than your head as long as you allow it to stop when it is ready and don't try to stop it.
5. Once the red has stopped take note of where it stopped so you can compare next time.
6. Take a deep breath allowing the exhale to be long and slow, let your body slump a little if you like on the exhale feel the tension begin to leave your body.
7. Now I want you to imagine a pale blue light above your head and well above where the red light is stopped
8. Start to draw this blue light down into your head and down to meet the red light.
9. Allow the blue light to push the red light down, you may find this easier if you allow the blue to come down with each exhale, until the red light is at or just below the chest level, do not take it any lower, it should just naturally stop at the right place, or you can stop it yourself.
10. Take a nice deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth to finish the meditation.
