This book is dedicated to those loving, sensitive, open, gentle souls who absorb external vibrations as a sponge absorbs water. This book provides the key to self-authority and unlocks the door to inner strength. Behind that door you will find your true self.

T hough over 14 percent of American adults say they practice meditation, many do not achieve a deep state of restful alertness. Therefore, they are not getting the anticipated relaxing, healing, spiritually uplifting results. This book can provide an answer. It offers a simple, enjoyable way to meditateguided meditation. This easy method can produce practical, positive results for anyone.

Guided meditation is an effortless way to be led step-by-step, moment-by-moment through the process. Just read the words from the page, which guide you into deep meditation and awaken your higher being. Or for even better results, record the words onto your electronic device. Then play back the meditation at a low volume and follow the simple instructions.

Practicing these meditations can infuse your body, mind, and spirit with energy, strength, love, and happiness. You can receive divine inspiration, healing, and wisdom, and develop charisma and magnetic attraction. You can glow with vital well-being. You can stay grounded while awakening your spiritual self.

Guided meditation requires no special abilities, talent, skill, expertise, effort, training, preparation, or practice. There is no need to wrench your body into pretzel positions, sit uncomfortably with a rigid spine, force out thoughts, blank your mind, or strain to concentrate.

In this book you are not asked to watch your breathing (or similar ineffectual advice). Instead, you are guided through each meditation in detail, step-by-step. It is best to record the words of each meditation onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Speak softly, slowly, soothingly, and gently. When you come to ellipses (... ) in the text, that indicates a pause, so record a few moments of silence. Then play back the meditation while sitting comfortably with eyes closed, and your own voice will guide you into meditation. It is that simple!

The book is written in a particular order to help you gain increasing strength and integrity. So it is best to practice these meditations in the order they are written. However, if you wish to explore a particular subject in your meditation practice, you may focus on specific chapters.

This book guides you into meditation as you imagine, with your mind's eye, what is being described. However, believing you cannot visualize will not hinder your success. You do not need any special skill to achieve good results. Just follow the directions on the page, step-by-step, which take you progressively deeper into meditation.

Visualization can be difficult when you strain to focus or concentrate on making pictures in your mind's eye. But these guided meditations do not require that. These are simple instructions to follow, which lead you into meditation automatically.

Another method in this book is affirmation. I call these spoken meditations. These powerful statements, verbalized audibly, can change your outlook instantly. They remove blockages and clear a pathway for deeper experiences, and effect positive change for yourself and the planet.

Buddha tells us, in the first verse of the first chapter of the Dhammapada (the essential Buddhist scripture):

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a person speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him

This verse states that we create our own reality primarily through our thoughts, but also speech and actions. It might be difficult to control the random thoughts streaming through your mind daily. But you can easily control your words and deeds.

For example, if you constantly say, I am so poor, I am so overweight, I am so unhappy, I am so sick, etc., then I guarantee these results will appear in your life. If, on the other hand, you often say, I am wealthy, I am the perfect weight, I am happy, I am in perfect health, etc., then these results will manifest.

Master Jesus tells us, Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. To become the conscious captain of your ship of destiny, be mindful of your speech. Consciously speak words and engage in actions that support your goals. Affirmations can help.
