Meditate for transformation - Part 1

This is the first post describing a powerful meditation that my peace group has developed. If anybody's interested, I'll tell you more about it later.

Sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes. If you have a meditation practice, just relax into it. You'll need about 40-50 minutes to do the whole thing, but doing it in parts is fine too. This is a guided meditation, so you might check into making your computer read the words aloud to you, or record yourself reading the meditaion slowly in a soothing voice. You can also either remember the visualizations, or just use them as a jumping off point for your own visualization, if you prefer.

With your eyes closed, imagine yourself in your home, wherever that is, and that you are going out the back door. There is a yard, which, if you already have a yard, is quite a bit more beautiful than it is normally. The plants are lush, the plantings are beautiful, and right in the middle is a very inviting hammock. You have the strongest urge to lie down in it. The day is beautiful and sunny and a little bit of shade is over the hammock, just right for a relaxed doze. You lie down in it, and feel the hammock softly swaying, back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.
