Guidelines to the meditations

Before you begin your meditation, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Sit comfortably with the back straight but not rigid, and with your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands, palms upwards, on your thighs. Light a white candle and, if you wish, play relaxing music. Begin each meditation with a prayer. Close your eyes and focus them upwards towards the third eye. Be aware of your breath as it gently moves in and out while it removes the tension from your mind and body.

At the end of your meditation when you open your eyes, stay for a moment in prayer and gratitude. Become conscious of how you feel, and realize you can imbue your everyday life with this loving and peaceful way of being. During your daily activities, consciously open a space within your mind and heart to feel this divine connection. This can be done in many ways including intention, concentration, prayer, and affirmation. The more you meditate on a regular basis, the more your desire intensifies to cultivate a deepening relationship with our beloved Creator. In this manner you are reminded that you are a cherished and sacred creation and a fine model for the world.
