HEALING MEDITATION
This healing meditation is a beautiful practice which can be used to heal
yourself, to heal other people and heal the earth. There are a variety of
healing meditations that you can follow using this mantra, however I have
chosen this one so we can begin healing ourselves and extend that healing
energy out to the rest of the planet. You can also send it to your food,
blessing it with wholesome, nourishing energy.
As you begin this meditation, I want you to focus the healing energy
on yourself. Allow the healing love of the universe to fi ll you, support you
and enable you to feel safe and at home within yourself. Fill yourself with
love for your being, for your body and for yourself. Allow this love to fl ow
through you, and release any self-loathing you carry, especially anything
related to your food and eating habits – whether you are aware of them
or not. Then, when you feel good and you feel ready, begin to extend your
healing energy out to your loved ones, the people you know, or the people
you may have cooked for. After this, extend your healing energy out into the
world, sending out a pure feeling of love into the earth and visualising the
world happy, healthy and at peace.

2 more times, then relax.
