gleaning the journals: a meditation

circular meditation for clarity, 2012

I’m delighted to have found this journal page from 2012 on which I’ve practiced a form of writing meditation, this time seeking clarity. I had forgotten all about this way of working. I remember it being very helpful, so I’m happy to share it with you here, tho I do not remember who taught it to me. I gratefully acknowledge that person or book now and take no credit for having developed the process.

Here’s what you do:

First, determine what quality or state of being you are seeking. Find your journal or any paper like a sketch book. I like sketch books because the pages do not have lines and I like working in 11X14″ size sketchbooks because there is more space!

Secondly, draw a small circle in the middle of the page and write your desire in that circle.

Thirdly, start with the phrase that goes something like this: “When I have clarity (or peace or balance or whatever you are seeking), I am…. Then, begin the next phrase in the way the first phrase ended. You’ll see what I mean when you read the meditation transcript below.

Fourthly, write on lines that extend out from the inner circle and all the way around the circle.

Lastly, be surprised at what you’ve discovered. I always feel better and learn something, too. Try it! Let me know how it goes.

Here are the gleanings from this meditation for your consideration:

clarity

when i have clarity, i have no sense of lack
when i have no sense of lack, i have no fear
when i have no fear, i have clarity
when i have clarity, i can remember my soul's purpose
remembering my soul's purpose induces right action
right action satisfies the purpose of soul
& brings me to a higher level of vibrational frequency
when i come into a higher level of vibrational frequency, i am one
when i am attuned to a higher level of vibrational frequency, i can sit in deep stillness
when i sit in deep silence, i get clarity
when i am honest & listening to my body, i get clarity
when i follow my thoughts, i feel confused
when i feel confused, i do not own my power
when i sit in deep silence, i sense the presence of spirit
when i sense the presence of spirit, i realize spirit in action
when i realize spirit in action, i have no need to act
when i have no need to act, i remain centered in stillness
when i remain centered in stillness, i realize the source of power
when i realize the source of power, i can claim it
when i claim the source of power, i know who i am
when i know who i am, i have clarity

Namaste My Loves,
