This is a nice simple meditation to send the healing energy of unconditional love to your family, friends, community and the earth. Feel free to make printouts and share them.

Preparation

Invite some friends to join the meditation.

The person speaking the meditation should read it silently before reading it aloud for the first time. The person speaking the meditation can then read it to participants. Or read the meditation into a tape recorder and play it back. 

The meditation works best if the circle is not disturbed by people leaving it. Reduce surrounding noise by turning off the tv and phones. Recruit a volunteer to take care of phones, doors, children or pets if they need something so the people doing the meditation are not disturbed.

Participants sit together in a circle on chairs or on the floor - whatever is most comfortable.

Ask people to join hands.

Begin the meditation. 

Healing Circles Meditation

Close your eyes. Begin taking slow deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax and breathe slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth. Let the cares of the day slip away for a time as you breathe slowly and relax. Hearing the sounds around you but paying no attention to them as you breathe slowly in and out.  Know that for this time you are safe and secure as you relax, breathing slowly in and out. 
And relax.

Now think of someone or something that you love - a family member, a friend, a pet, a beautiful place. Feel that love becoming a warm comfortable feeling in your heart. Feel that love becoming a warm soothing light, a ball of light in your chest. Feel, see that loving light flowing out of your chest and down your back, down your spine, down your legs. Feel the light flowing down into your feet and down into the earth. Feel the light going deep into the earth, merging with the energy of the earth. Feel the energy of the earth flowing up into you giving you strength. Feel the energy of the earth flowing up into your heart, into your body stabilizing you, grounding you.

Now feel the warm light in your chest flowing up your neck into your head. Feel, see the light meeting the loving energy of the universe, merging with all that is good. Feel the loving energy of the universe flowing down into your head, down your neck and into your chest where it meets the energy of the earth. 

Feel the love of the universe and the earth merging with your energy, becoming a warm bright ball of light in your chest. Feel the light begin to grow and flow throughout your body. Feel the light flowing out through your chest, up your spine. Feel the light flowing up into your neck and into your head. Feel the light flowing down your spine, down your legs and into your feet. 

Now feel the light growing and flowing down your arms. Feel the light flowing into your hands. Feel the light flowing out into your hands, into your fingers.

Now feel the light flowing out your hands to the person on your left and feel the energy flowing to you from the person on your right. Feel yourself sending this light, this energy of love to the person on your left and receive this loving energy flowing to you from the person on your right. 

Feel the energy flowing around this circle filling everyone here with love and peace and harmony. 
Feel the light flowing around the circle, growing and growing until it spills out of this circle and flows out into this room. Feel the light growing until it fills this home.

Now feel the light filling this home and flowing out into the neighborhood. See, feel the light flowing out into this community filling all the homes, all the people, all the life in this community with loving light energy. 

Now feel the light growing, moving out through the state filling all the people, all the life in the state with loving healing energy. Feel the light flowing out to the entire country filling all the people, all the life in the country with love, with healing. 

Now feel the light flowing out to the entire planet, completely surrounding and filling all life on earth in glowing sphere of bright loving healing energy. And now feel this love flowing, merging with all the love in the universe. 
Rest in this love for a time.

[Let people meditate quietly for a few moments].

Feel the loving energy flowing around the earth, flowing into your country. Feel the love flowing through your state and into your community. Feel the healing energy flowing into this home and into this room. Feel the light flowing into this circle and into you as you begin to take long, slow deep breaths, in through your nose and out though your mouth. 

Feel yourself relaxing as you breath slowly in and out. Become aware of yourself feeling relaxed and comfortable.
When you feel ready, open your eyes.

Thank you.
