1. Cellebrate Positivity!
Breakout of the old cells that are holding back positivity.
Nothing changes without you moving in a new direction and
letting go of ʻblocksʼ! Hereʼs a 6 minute meditation that is a
breakout from old gnarly negatives: Sit, stand, or lie down
comfortably. Ten times breath in and out (maybe extend each of fingers to keep count of
a full ʻin and out breathʼ). Three breathing steps plus ʻnew inputʼ to replace the old.
Step one (do this for a trial before adding input - optional) -close your eyes, take a deep,
deep slow breath (mouth closed throughout) expanding the chest while bringing in ʻallʼ
the air from the belly until there is no more air left. Then STOP! Hold the
breath! Hold it for as long as you can ....and longer! Remember when you
were a kid, and youʼd hold your breath to see if you could die? You didnʼt,
and wonʼt! When itʼs no longer possible to hold the
breath, slowly let it go. Completely breath out totally
emptying it. Then STOP and hold it for as long as
possible. Repeat the cycle perhaps ten times.
Now do it, and add an ʻinput reprogramming injectionʼ
of a life changing behavior mantra. That behavior
could be ʻlaughing more; being more aware; releasing
negativity; opening the heart, quitting smoking, and
on an on. Start by using one idea, ʻpositivity and
becoming more positive in your lifeʼ. Using the word
ʻpositiveʼ, be flexibly creative, and silently say something like this all during
the ʻmantra meditationʼ: ʻIʼm becoming more and more positive, I am
positive, Iʼm moving into positivity, becoming more and more positive, feeling positive,
being positive - on and on. Not necessarily repeating exactly in that order but keeping
the focus on the feeling or issue you want to address.
Start the practice for a week, and longer if it feels right, once or more per day.
Meditation should be fun! After doing this remain relaxed lying or sitting down with eyes
closed and just watching whatever comes up. Let an inner smile come up!
As time goes on, do the technique with different words and images such as those
mentioned, or ʻbe happyʼ, or moving into deeper and deeper love, etc. Prayer is
ʻaffirmation of the positiveʼ. Think of it as a prayer/meditation! Enjoy!
