I recommend using this exercise whenever you feel yourself itching to DO something about a situation, but you either don’t know what action step to take next, feel stuck, or have a sense that there isn’t anything to be done about this right now.  If you’re a perennial do-er, like me, that can be frustrating!  Which is why I love this exercise.  It makes me feel like I’m taking action, but it doesn’t push against my inner wisdom when it’s telling me to rest, stop trying, and make no effort.

Start by sitting comfortably and taking several deep breaths.  Imagine you have a conduit running through the center of your body from your sacrum to the top of your head.  Visualize a beam of healing light energy coming down into this conduit through the top of your head.  Let the light energy flow all the way down to your sacrum and into the Earth.

Next, imagine that you are pulling healing Earth energy up through your sacrum and into your conduit.  Imagine this energy flowing all the way up to the crown of your head and up toward the sky.

Visualize your solar plexus and see these two energy streams meeting in a glowing, golden ball of light. Imagine this ball expanding from your solar plexus until it encompasses your whole body.  Imagine that you can feel this healing energy in every corner of your body, healing you and filling you with energy.

For physical ailments, that is all you need to do.  For other issues, visualize the center of your palms.  Imagine that this healing energy is now flowing from Earth and sky into your conduit and then out into your arms, leaving your body as a strong stream of healing energy through your palms.  Then, direct your palms toward whatever you want to heal.  This might mean placing your hands a couple of inches above a painful area, toward an image of your relationship or career, or anything else you’d like to focus on healing.

Let your imagination be your guide. Maybe you see your body losing weight as you direct this healing light toward an image of yourself.  Maybe you watch your career transform as you create a bubble of healing light around its image.  Whatever feels intuitively right is perfect.

When you feel finished, imagine sending your healed image up to the sky, Source, God, the universe, or your higher self.  Know that you have connected to the most powerful healing resource available to you – energy!  Your work is done.

Do this exercise as often or as little as feels right to you.  Trust your own inner wisdom.
