Extracts from a Sample Spiritual Meditation
Spirits Speaking from the Heart at Tranquil Spirit, Moulton, Northwich, Cheshire, near Chester and Manchester
We have been given many different guided meditations by Isleen. We have been struck by their variety of setting and theme. Each one seems to have its own purpose and emphasis. To indicate something of their flavour we give below extracts from Isleen's Island Meditation:
I would ask you to imagine a seashore with golden sand, with the waves gently lapping up on the golden sand, the blue waves, with the deep blue sky above. There is a feeling of peace and gentleness all around. You are not in a hurry. You are at your leisure to enjoy the scene, the beauty and peace of the waves upon the shore. You walk slowly along the shoreline, your eyes taking in the beauty of the sky, the sea and the gentle waves. And as you look accross the sea you see a bird gently circling over the water in wide sweeping circles gliding effortesly above the sea. ......
...... You get on the boat, a little sailing boat, which is a boat all for you. It was sent by the spirits, your friends in the Spirit Land. You get on the boat with trust and certainty knowing you are safe and will be looked after on your journey. ......
......You see a gentle mound coming out of the sea. An island. But this is no ordinary island. It is a special island. It is an island where you know you may talk and see your friends in spirit. ......
......Your eyes are filled with wonder at the island's beauty. Every direction your eyes turn you see beauty. It seems an unwordly beauty. Colours are vibrant, beautiful, alive. You see animals and birds all around you and they show no fear. They come up to you to greet you and to show you the way a little deer walks ahead of you to show you the path to the centre of the island. ......
......The path winds between beautiful trees and shrubs and flowers of every colour. Beautiful flowers, full of life. Flowers which seem to reach out to you with their song of love, their greeting of love. And so you make your way through them, along the path, until you come to a grove in the centre of the island. ......
......A grove which is surrounded and made of beautiful trees, beautiful sinewy boughs which make a dome in the centre. A dome which embraces you in safety, protects you. A dome in which you feel totally safe and at ease. and so you relax and feel at peace and at your ease. And then in front of you there suddenly appears a beautiful young woman who is full of gentleness and peace in her manner. Who looks with smiling eyes upon you and who is there to welcome you to the grove. This magical grove which is the means, the place where you may communicate with you friends in spirit. And as she talks to you you feel welcome and secure and know that you feel totally safe in a place where you are loved. A place where you are supported with love and protection The woman then welcomes into the grove one of your loved ones from spirit whom you have not seen for a long time ......
......You join again together in companionship and you spend some quiet moments together enjoying the presence of each other. And you listen to what your Guide has to say to you, to help you with your journey on earth. And so you spend a few minuets just listening to what your Guide has to say to you.(A FEW MINUTES SILENCE) ......
......After a while you reach the golden sandy shore and you see your little sailing boat there, waiting for you. This sailing boat which is no ordinary sailing boat for it is alive and looks after you as you climb aboard again and make your way across the waves back to the far shore where you started. The journey back is pleasant and gentle, for the sea is calm, quiet and clear and you make your way back with a peaceful mind, a calm mind. ......
......You make your way across the ocean back to the shore knowing that, though we face problems of life once more, we have the love and support of those in spirit. ......
......So you get out of the boat and for a moment you sit upon the far shore, reflecting upon the experience and slowly, slowly, then become more aware of the world around us and you open your eyes and listen to the familiar sounds, feeling safe and secure and at peace.
