Spring Clean Your Mind
Here is a quick little meditation.
Note: The ocean is used in this meditation because of the sea salt and the gently action of the waves. The third eye is in between the eyebrows where the skull is the thinnest and the sunlight can move into the area of the pituitary gland. This gland is called ‘The Master Gland’ and regulates the secretion of the thyroid, adrenal and reproductive glands. It is located just beneath the hypothalamus in the middle of the brain. If you have a fear of drowning, you can replace the ocean water, with ocean air as the salt will still be in the air OR you can pretend you are a mermaid.
It is best to start out with the minimum of seven breaths and work your way up slowly until you feel comfortable with the meditation. Too much, too soon, like a power cleaning won’t work in this meditation. Gentle action is what is called for. Also, you can do seven in a row: inhaling left, exhaling right and then change to: inhaling right, exhaling left. Each ‘set’ however, should contain seven breaths before changing the nostril side.
Open a window and let the fresh air in.
Sit in a comfortable position.
See yourself standing at the water’s edge of the ocean.
Begin to focus on your breath. As you breathe in, see a small gentle ocean wave move into the left nostril and up into the third eye area of the brain. Breathe out the water through the right nostril, along with any thoughts, feelings or old ideas that it may have picked up along the way, pulling it back into the larger container of the ocean. Do this for at least seven breaths, each one moving deeper into areas of the brain. It’s best to concentrate just on the action of the water. When you have done this for as long as you feel you need to, see yourself walk away from the ocean’s edge and look up into the sky to see a bird fly over you. Call out to the bird and hear its reply to you.
You can follow this meditation with some lavender oil placed on your wrist and inhaled or later, in a salt bath to clear and cleanse your aura.
