Meditation is receiving from God. Prayer is petitioning God — it is a giving out. Meditative prayers are a type of supplication to the divine. In this type of meditation, you are making a specific request to the Higher and then receiving the blessing that the divine wishes to give you. You may ask to be blessed with the spiritual power of love or abundance. Or you may petition the divine to receive illumination or balance.
The beauty of meditative prayers is that you are focusing your mind and consciousness on the spiritual quality and consciousness you are requesting, which keeps the mind alert and focused during meditation.
How To Begin: Location, Location, Location
To begin, choose a quiet place to meditate. You want a place away from noise or anything that can distract your attention. You want your consciousness completely focused on making your connection with the Higher.
Reflect upon what it is that you are requesting of the divine. Are you looking for guidance, love, peace, or illumination? All of these things are wonderful, but you want to be selective, so that you can make a strong connection.
Each attribute of God comes in on its own power ray, so, by being specific in your request, you will be more effective in the results. I would recommend working with no more than three or four energies in one sitting, as this way you give yourself more time to absorb these powers and implement them. Don’t stress if it is not clear what to request of the Higher. If you are not sure, ask divine intelligence to guide you.
Sit, Relax, Breathe, and See the Light
Begin by sitting in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight. The energy will be coming down from your Higher Self above your head and flowing through you like an electrical current, so you don’t want to “cross the wires” by crossing your legs or inhibiting the flow of energy in any way.
You want to be in a relaxed state of mind, yet alert and awake. Take a couple of deep breaths to feel your body moving in rhythm with your mind and soul. As you feel relaxed, envision the divine lovingly surrounding you. See a golden bubble of protection around you. It is important that you are spiritually protected when doing any type of meditation.
Then put your attention on your Higher Self Point two feet above your physical head. See this point as a radiant golden sun above your head. As you place your attention on the Higher Self Point, let go of all of your earthly worries and concerns. Feel part of your consciousness as actually in that Higher Self. Feel that Higher Self Point pulsating with light and power. It’s joyful and reverent just to be there.
As you are putting your attention on this Higher Self Point, recite out loud this invocation (it’s recommended that you memorize it):
INVOCATION TO CONNECT WITH THE HIGHER SELF POINT
Heavenly Father/Holy Mother God, I raise my consciousness into
Thy consciousness where I become One with Thee. I ask to receive
that which I need and that which I need to know now.
In your Higher Self, feel the union with the divine. In this beautiful meditative state, you feel at Home. You are in your rightful place in the universe. Your life has purpose and your consciousness is refreshed and renewed to fulfill that purpose in even more beautiful ways.
Open Your Mind and Speak Your Heart
You are now ready to begin your meditative prayers. Let your mind open and speak your heart to God.
When making your request, envision the beautiful power of light that you are calling on down-raying from the divine source to your Higher Self Point. See the Higher Self Point activated in a burst of light. Then from the Higher Self Point, envision this light showering you like a waterfall of light. It bathes your entire aura, your body, your chakra points — all levels of your thinking, speaking, activities, actions, and feeling. Give permission for this light to touch every part of you.
Hold still to feel the light blessing you. Feel your consciousness being raised up with the spiritual quality you are requesting.
In finishing your meditation, express your gratitude to the divine for what you have received. Gently come back into your earth consciousness empowered with the God light. Feel refreshed and grounded. You want to be very grounded in the light, because you must now take the holy blessing given and put it into active life. You must use the power granted to fulfill your potential and purpose.
