Meditation ;is by far, not easy, but with a few pointers and an "inner-guided" partner, it can be both fun, beneficial, and creative if the basic principles are met.
Of course, the prerequisite to beginning a meditation is to be stressed or anxious and in need of relaxation and rejuvenation!
To start - grab a partner. The "best" suited partners for meditation exercises are 1) opposite genders 2) partners with soft voices/demeanors. It is very important to feel comfortable with this partner and to have at least one partner be informed how to meditate and be willing to guide this meditation fluidly. Then, partner one can infuence and teach partner two and a "meditation partnership" is created.
Creating an atmosphere is the next step to preparing to meditate. Once you have a partner, try to create the most relaxing environment as is possible. Relaxing settings include: Dim lights, candles, soft music, incense, or anything aromatic The best way to arrange positioning between partners is to use two chairs. Partners should be seated upright with their feet flat on the floor and they should be facing eachother.
The next important factor in meditation is the breath. Partners should focus their full attention on breathing. Breaths should be slow and air should be taken through the nose and exhaled through the mouth. Eyes should be closed.
Start of Meditation with Your Partner (sample meditation with words):
Partner One: "Visualize a bright white ball of light shining on you like the sun. Now, visualize that loving and healing light coming down on you through the top of your head."
Partner Two: Partner two's concentration should be on breathing, visualizing and feeling the "white light."
Partner One: "Now, make the light go through every pore and cell of your body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet."
Partner Two: Partner two should be trying to feel the white light surrounding and entering them and should also be visualizing positive images and thinking good thoughts.
Partner One: "You can call upon this light as much as you need-it will always serve you and renew you. See the light lifting you upwards into the sky, sun, clouds, etc
Partner Two: Partner two should be concentrating on the light and beginning to let thoughts, images, ideas and feelings emerge naturally. Color is very powerful and healing and should be incorporated whenever possible in the images.
The length of the meditation may go on for as long as the partners can sit. However, if partner two is starting to feel uncomfortable or is in pain, the meditation should come to a close at least for the first few meditations. Partners should switch places and partner should now get a chance to guide into a unique and relaxing meditation now that he/she is aware how it is done.
