- Now take a few moments to relinquish any griev-
ances, regrets, or hostility you may be holding inside
you. Simply have the intention to release all toxic
feelings that are not nourishing to your heart. - Next, silently, like a mantra, repeat the expression,
Thy will be done... Thy will be done... Thy will be
done.Have the intention to surrender to whatever
you imagine or believe is the underlying intelligence
of the universe, be it God, Nature, Cosmic Order, or
any other concept that you have. - Now, with your attention in your chest, see if you
can perceive the throbbing of your heartbeat, as
either a sensation or a subtle vibration. Introduce the
intention for your heartbeat to slow down... slow
down... slow down. - Shift your attention to your hands and become
aware of your heartbeat in your hands. Have the
intention to increase the blood flow and warmth to
your hands. - Now direct your attention to any part of your
body that you believe needs healing and feel your
heart throbbing slowly in that area. If there is no
place in your body that needs attention, simply be
aware of your heart throbbing in your chest. Silently,
like a mantra, repeat the phrase, Healing and transfor-
mation... Healing and transformation... Healing and
transformation. - After a few minutes, bring your attention to your
breath, simply observing the inflow and outflow of
your breathing. When you are ready, slowly open
your eyes.
