HEALING THE EGO - Meditation How do we heal the ego? There are thousands, if no [ruby red light] t millions, of books, programs, and spiritual practices to help us learn this, oh so, important piece on our journey in this lifetime. Never before have so many people been focused on healing the ego. You may call it healing the inner child, healing your soul, finding your inner truth, or many other things, including finding the Christ within. Whatever way you are now working to heal that part of you that still feels small and unloved is fine. This just may help you with your own practice.
Begin the meditation by taking several deep breaths, holding each breath for ten seconds or more, and then releasing the breath. Feel yourself held, supported, and loved by the Divine Mother, and surrounded, protected, and loved by the Divine Father. Experience as the Divine Mother and the Divine Father come together within you in sacred marriage, and feel yourself enveloped in this perfect love. Open to the awareness that this is the perfect balance of your own divinity. Feel yourself becoming more and more present within your physical body. Let yourself begin to disconnect your energy from all the busy-ness of the world by focusing on your natural breathing. Now, move with your awareness into your heart chakra. This is sacred space within your subtle body right at the tip of your sternum. It is about 3 inches in diameter. But once you focus and move into it you will experience that it is much larger, in fact it is a large and luxurious space that will grow larger and more luxurious the more time you spend in it. For now, think of lighting a ruby red sun in your 3 inch heart chakra. And fill your heart chakra with this radiant light. You light the sun simply by imagining it, or simply by thinking the thought, because thought directs energy and energy follows thought. Now, think of your poor little hurt ego, or a specific memory that seems to be your constant companion, no matter how much you try to control it, ignore, it or just plain forget it. We have many of these, so just pick one thing that makes you feel bad, or yucky, or small. Now, standing or sitting in your heart chakra room, surrounded by radiant ruby red light, call that memory, or feeling, or picture of the little hurt girl or boy from your past into the room with you. Welcome him or her or the feeling into your arms and hold her or him or it. And let the two of you be immersed in the radiant ruby red light. Next, just sit in the light and think of allowing the light to heal this part of your hurt ego, your bruised self. See the light filling you and your small hurt self. Feel the light dancing through you. Feel it blazing up like a great bonfire. Then experience the ruby red light settling down into a flowing light that fills you and transforms the hurt feelings. Feel yourself opening more and more to the light and the transformation. Feel your heart chakra and your actual heart beginning to expand in the light. THE MANTRA As you sit and experience the light doing its healing work, think or say this mantra several times. "I release the pain and allow the healing. Sit with this for at least five minutes. Have a healing day. You are love. You are light. You are the promise of the new era.
