Cleansing prayerIntroductionThis is a wonderful visualization technique used to cleanse our aura or ourpersonal energy. We all have a physical body, and we all have an aura orenergy body. Whatever happens to our aura manifests itself in ourphysical body. For example, when we bruise ourselves it is our aura thatis damaged first, and then our physical body shows the black and blue

mark.

We can also collect other people's energy within our own auras. Peoplecan 'dump' their emotional garbage on us, and we can store otherpeople's negative energy with our own energy. Other people's negativeenergy can affect our mood, and our relationship with others. Our energyneeds to be cleansed periodically, or more often if we, or the peoplearound us, have a negative attitude.

We can use this visualization: before any meditation session. before wego to sleep. after a party. after being surrounded by many people.after a stressful event, such as a funeral, a job interview, or even anargument. anytime we feel a cleansing is needed. on a daily basis as apreventative measure.The Technique---The first step in completing The Cleansing Poolvisualization, is to say our Cleansing Prayer. It is the energy and love thatcomes from a Higher Power Filled With Light And Love, that enables us to

cleanse our energy.We may add a line to our Cleansing Prayer that asks that the InfiniteSource to send the proper energy to cleanse any negativity surroundingour personal energy.We each have different stresses, and we pick up different energiesthroughout the day. We need cleansing energy which is suited to ourparticular needs. We need to accept that cleansing energy will be given,and we need to allow ourselves to feel the positive energy.

A Sample Prayer:---To the Infinite Source Filled with Love and Light..Please guide, guard and protect me from any negativity within my energy.Surround me in your Light and your Love, and help me be free of anynegativity that influences me. Allow only your positive energy to flowthrough me, and surround me. Help me to remain positive in my thoughts,and allow love to flow from me. Send the energy which will remove any

negativity that I have acquired or generated throughout the day.AmenThe Pool...After we say our prayer, it is time to start the visualization.If our eyes are not closed, gently close them. In our mind, we picture abeautiful pool. Our pool can be any shape and size. Our pool may be anactual pool, or our pool could be a place in nature that has a pool of water.We choose a pool that makes us feel good. We are creating our pool inour mind, so we can allow ourselves to have whatever we want.Now, we dip our toes into the cleansing pool. When we are ready, we can

get into the water. We may dive, jump, or slip into the pool. There are norules. We feel the cleansing waters wash away any negativity that mayhave been collected. We allow all negative energies be washed off, andinto the pool where the negative energies will be transformed into positiveenergies by a Higher Power. We can have fun in the pool, we can swim,dive and play in the water. This is a visualization and we do not need tobreathe, so if we go under the water, we will not drown. We relax in thepool, and we remain in the pool, until we are ready to come out of thepool.This is a very easy to do and effective meditation technique for cleansingour personal energy. Doing this meditation on a daily basis will helpensure that our personal energy is the best that our personal energy canbe. We should be open to messages which may be given to us duringthis meditation. We can use this meditation to help us unwind and relax.An Optional EvaluationHere are a few questions that we might ask ourselves. What does thewater feel like? Is the water warm, hot or cool? Is the water calm or

swirling?What colour is the water?Was there anything. or anyone in thewater? The answers to these questions will tell us about our current stateof mind, and about the energy that surrounds us.Some Possible Answers .If the water is cold and uncomfortable, we may

have endured a cold, emotional day. If the water is choppy, we may beexperiencing a slightly traumatic time. If the water is muddy, we arecarrying a lot of negativity in our energy. When the water is not 'normal', aHigher Power Filled With Light And Love, is trying to send us

Blessing can be used to heal relationships. Make a list of people withwhom you have serious relationship problems: people who have beentormenting you or people whom you have been tormenting, or at leastthose with whom you have not been on good terms for several months oryears.1. Concentrate on your heart and crown chakras during the entire

process.2. Raise your two hands in a blessing pose. Visualize in front of you theperson whom you want to bless.3. Softly say the name of the person three times. Continue imagining theperson in front of you. Project loving-kindness as you concentrate on yourheart and crown chakras by softly chanting "peace," "shanti," "shalom," or"peace be with you."4. Continue chanting for about three minutes.

5. If you are the spiritual type, you may invoke for divine blessings ofloving energy and of healing the relationship at the start of the procedure.You may use this prayer: To the Supreme Universal God, to my spiritualteachers, and to all higher beings, thank you for the loving energy and forhealing the relationship. With thanks and in full faith.Or you may use your own prayer. Invoking for divine help will make theprocedure or technique more effective.6. Repeat the entire procedure for every person on the list.7. Repeat the blessing two or three times a week for as long asnecessary. In general, it will take about one to two months for therelationship to harmonize. In some cases, it will take a longer time.If you feel a certain heaviness in your heart, just apply localized sweepingit to remove the congestion.How do you feel after the blessing? Do you feel inner peace? You mustunderstand that blessing is necessary not only for the sake of the personyou have blessed but also for yourself. The act of blessing is actually anact of forgiveness, which is necessary for inner healing. In serious cases,

the refusal forgive or bless those who have hurt you will result in no innerpeace and no inner healing, and there is a tendency to psychologicallyfester and deteriorate.
