Unity Meditation
The Unity Meditation is something I discovered from Drunvalo Melchizedek’s book, Living in the Heart. It is incredibly powerful. This meditation was given to Drunvalo by Sri Yukteswar, who was Yogananda’s guru. From my experience it connects me to the electro-magnetic energy of the Earth and the Sun and therefore has a potent grounding effect. It helps to spark into aliveness the shakti in your heart and connects you to the love of Mother Earth, and Father Sun.
Begin by finding a quiet space for meditation and settle into a comfortable posture. Feel into your body, into your breath. Take a few deep, slow breaths and on the out breath feel yourself letting go of any tension that might be in the body. When you have relaxed into your body begin to visualize a beautiful scene in nature that invokes awe and wonder. Use a place that you have visited before and begin to feel your appreciation and gratitude for this place. Begin to feel the aliveness of this place in your heart. Build up the feeling of gratitude for this place in your heart. Let gratitude build into love. Let yourself feel how much you love this place. Let this love build up in your heart. This love that you feel is for your Holy Earth Mother. Feel in your heart all the ways that she helps us, provides for us, inspires us, nurtures us. Let the feeling of love continue to well up in your heart for your Holy Earth Mother. Then, when you are ready, see all that love and gratitude that you have built up in your heart as a ball of light and send that ball of light to the heart of your Holy Earth Mother. After you have sent your love to Her settle into your heart and await Her response. She loves you beyond what you could conceptualize and She will send her love back to you. Once you feel Her love come back to you take a moment to sit with that in your heart.
When you are ready, turn your attention, within your heart, to the Sun. Father Sun. Immaculate Shining Sun. Feel within your heart your appreciation, gratitude, and love that you have for the Sun. Feel the Sun’s light and warmth on your face and skin. Think of everything that our Sun provides for us in the way of light, energy, warmth. Without the Sun we would have nothing. Feel within your heart a deep connection with our Sun and with how it sustains life here on our planet. Allow this love and gratitude to well up in your heart. When you are ready, see this love as a ball of light and send it to the heart of the Sun. The Sun is your spiritual Father. He loves you very much and will return His love to you. Await the Sun’s response as He will send you His love in return. When you have felt the love of the Sun in your heart take as long as you want to sit in that experience. You are now sitting with the trinity of love in your heart: your own love, the love of Holy Earth Mother, and the love of the Holy Father Sun. Take as long as you would like to sit in this holy trinity of love.
