Feel the Flow Meditation

This particular meditation is great if you have a build up of emotions, or swollen joints, or even if you are generally creaky as it were. If you find you dwell on things have trouble letting go of hurts or your own bad behaviour feel the flow will help release the energy and allow you to relax in the moment. this meditation does take a little practice, but most find it easier each time they try. This one is much easier if you get a friend to read it for you or if you record it yourself.

Often those who do this meditation regularly report aches and pains disappearing, emotional well being and lessened depression. Some have reported an easier style of communication and enhanced dreaming experiences. This is great after a physical exertion ,or a disagreement, helps you to return to a state of balance quickly so you can move on to the next experience.

1. First find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Take nice even breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, breath in a nice deep relaxation and breath out any tension that may be in your body right now. when you feel relaxed allow your eyes to close.
2. While breathing rhythmically allow your consciousness to float down your body until it reaches your feet. once there feel your toes, the arch of your foot, your ankle and while just feeling this area tell your feel to relax and stay with that thought until you actually feel your feet have relaxed totally til they feel heavy and you have no desire to move them at all.
3. Once you have your feet relaxed change your focus from your feet to the feeling of relaxation, once you can feel the relaxation allow this feeling to start to come up your calves, moving slowly up to your knees, continuing up your thighs, continue to bring the relaxation up ( you may find it easier to draw it up on the inhale), breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
4. Continue to bring the relaxed feeling up past your hips, allowing it to flow up your spine spreading to your shoulders, then slowly down your arms, don't try to rush, just relax and allow the feeling to flow down your forearms and into your hands extending to every finger.
5. bringing your focus back to your shoulders allowing the relaxed feeling to spread to every part of your body, then moving on up your throat, into your head allowing the relaxed feeling to envelope your eyes, mouth, forehead and even your ears.
6. When you feel totally relaxed take an extra deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth breathing out any remaining tension from within the body.
7. Allow your mind to wander to the last time you felt angry, upset or hurt. remaining very relaxed and very comfortable. Once you have recalled the moment allow yourself to feel the part of the body affected by that emotion.
8. Allow your focus to flow to that part of your body and allow the hurt, anger or upset to start moving as all of your body is relaxed there is nothing to stop the flow of the feeling and allow this feeling to flow from where it is and start to travel downward through your body and down your legs, there is no resistance, and this feeling flows down your legs and out the soles of your feet
9. While the upset, hurt or anger flows down your body and out your feet you notice the area of origin feels more relaxed more comfortable, you can feel the relaxation take over the place where the anger hurt or upset had been.
10. Allow the flow to continue until you can only feel the relaxation and until you feel you have finished then take a nice deep breath to set the new feeling in your body. bring your attention back to the room you are in and gently allow your eyes to open have a stretch and get up and walk around the room to bring back circulation.
