Inner Buddha meditation
We all have a piece of the divine inside of us also known as our authentic self. It is the core of who we are and is forever aglow in our heart of hearts. To get in touch with this part of ourselves you can practice this simple meditation. You can take as much or as little time as you need for this exercise. Even 30 seconds is beneficial but it is optimal to do 10-20 minutes if you can.
To start get yourself into a comfortable position. If you are someone who falls asleep easily it's best to sit. You can even sit in a comfortable chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground.
Next close down your eyes and just take a few moments to tune into your breath. The inhale and then the exhale. Do this until you feel centred.
Then visualise your inner Buddha, this Buddha can take any form that you like. For example my Buddha's head sits at my heart centre, in the middle of your chest and then his body follows the line of the rest of my body and he is sitting in a crossed legged position resting at the base of my torso. Just hold that visualisation inside your minds eye and every time thoughts come into your mind simply and gently guide your thought back to your Buddha. Every time you get distracted thinking about what you need to do later on or what happened yesterday, again gently guide your awareness back to your inner Buddha.
A sense of inner peace will wash over you as you realise that no matter what is happening in your life you always have this place inside you that you can travel to. Even if its only for a few breaths.
Enjoy and please let me know if you try it out and what you think.
Namaste
