Step Eight - Guided Meditations and Affirmations

Guided Meditations and Affirmations is the Step Eight Lesson from the Green Witches Coven.

These are the links to the other Steps:

---

Anyone can meditate, not just Buddhist monks or deeply spiritual people. As the body relaxes, so does the mind. Our soul never sleeps, but you can achieve states of relatively long periods where the mind is silent. It is during these moments, no matter how brief they are, that we enter a state of listening to Spirit.

The benefits of meditation are not just helping you with your spiritual journey. There are a myriad benefits to your health and well-being from a simple, daily meditation practice. For starters, meditation can decrease blood pressure, as well as cortisol (a stress hormone) and cholesterol, increase creativity, reduce anxiety and strengthen the immune system.

The greatest difficulty for anyone meditating for the first time is that their mind has never been trained to create inner quiet and attention. There is a misconception that to meditate requires the mind to go totally blank and that all thoughts have to stop. This in itself is impossible as to do this would mean that you would have no awareness of self or place.

Do not create pressure for yourself about how your meditation should be or what to expect from your meditation. Also, do not try to force the mind to be empty. You should not attempt to give the mind a direct suggestion or to control your mind. Simply observe and let it become quiet and calm.

The simple meditations I’ve outlined will allow you both mental and physical ‘time out’ from the day-to-day hectic lifestyles that most people lead. Repeat them as many times as you like to get full benefits from them.

This meditation will help you to connect with Spirit. Again, this meditation is best done outdoors in a beautiful place of nature – near the sea, a forest, at a lakeside, a secluded garden or even a quiet area of a local park. If not, find a peaceful, comfortable place indoors, away from possible interruptions.

Guided Meditations and Affirmations
Affirmations

Now is the time to change all that, as you begin making positive affirmations. Affirmations can be a major tool in drawing towards you positive changes in your life, whether it be in the form of personal change or bringing new people, things and situations into your life. Affirmations are very powerful tools, so powerful in fact that they could seem to be magical. In fact, they are a kind of Magic. When you perform affirmations, you are in effect sending out to the Universe a declaration or command. And although it may seem that only you are hearing the words, this is not so. These words go out to the Universe. Affirmations work on many different levels. Affirmations affect your own and other people's conscious and unconscious levels. If you affirm and it involves others, you are in a way communicating with another person's higher self. This is when things really start to happen, and results come quickly. The power of affirmations is only limited by your personal conviction and belief that the affirmations are working. If the affirmations are only done half-heartedly, those are the results that will be received. But if you believe completely in achieving the aspiration stated in the affirmation, then it is almost sure to be achieved.

Begin then by using the powerful positive affirmations I’ve outlined, practice believing what you are saying for a few minutes, several times a day. After a while, these affirmations will become the way your body, mind and spirit respond to the challenges of everyday life.

If done regularly and with sincerity, you will soon be surprised by the changes you see starting to occur in your life. Once you intensely believe you can make positive changes in your life and accomplish your desires you must focus that intention, visualize the outcome, gather your strength, and send that vision outward to become reality.

If you decide to make use of affirmations in your life, be prepared for change. Remember what they say, be careful what you ask for, because with affirmations it can manifest quickly. I’ve outlined some examples of affirmations you can choose to take up. You can choose just one, several or all. Or create your own.
