- Sit in a relaxed position with your mouth and eyes closed, start humming to create a vibration within your body, you can hum at a level where you could be heard clearly by people in the room. While doing this you can visualize a hollow tube or empty vessel, filled with the love and vibration of your sound vibrations from humming. Soon the humming will reach a point where you can listen to your own vibrations. You can breathe as normal and move your body in tune with your own vibration. Try and hold this technique for thirty minutes.
- The second part of this guided meditation is divided into two sections. In the first part of your meditation move the hands and palms up in an outwards circular motion. Starting at the navel, both of your hands can move forward then divide to make two larger circles. You can create a mirror of your actions with each hand a reflection of the other. This should be a slow movement and feel that you are giving your energy outward to the universe.
- After you have practiced this for ten minutes, turn your palms hands down and move them in the opposite direction, your hands should come together at your navel and then split outwards towards the side of your body. Feel that you are taking energy in.You can now remain still for fifteen minutes remaining absolutely.
