by Shepherd Hoodwin. Imagine the presence of a great warmth that feels utterly nurturing, good,
and peaceful. See it as the most beautiful color or colors that you can imagine.
If it is multicolored, notice its design. Feel it as having the texture or sensation of something incredibly soft,
like a favorite blanket or article of clothing, the skin of a baby, or the fur
of an animal.

by Sylvia Browne. The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name. The illnesses, the rejections, the defamations, the injustices, the aloneness, all the "I should haves" and "I didn't do's." In place of the ugly weeds of fear, plant now the roses of Hope, Love, Promise, God
Consciousness, and the Glory of your Soul.

by José Stevens, Ph.D. The purpose of the universe is to enable you to learn. Prosperity is the attitude that you can have what you want in this universe. Therefore prosperity is one of the things you are here to learn. This is a meditation that facilitates that learning.

by Betty Bethards, Our energy level and mental programs are the major contributing factors to
how we interpret what's going on in our lives. That's why the most important
tool I have to offer to increase self awareness is daily meditation. Meditation
keeps our energy up high enough so that we have the clarity to look at our
numbers and hopefully change them. Otherwise, our energy is so low that we just
get caught in reacting to others...

by Alan Watts. What we call meditation or contemplation -- for
want of a better word -- is really supposed to be fun. I have some difficulty in
conveying this idea because most people take anything to do with religion
seriously -- and you must understand that I am not a serious person. I may be
sincere, but never serious, because I don't think the universe is
serious. And the trouble comes into the
world largely because various beings take themselves seriously, instead of
playfully.

by Kay Eileen Meyer. Hope is an expectation, not always
with absolute certainty, but with confidence and assurance that something can or
will happen. Hope is a desire accompanied by a belief in fulfillment. Hope is a
force that urges us on—stimulating us to continue. It is a powerful force that
we sense, deep within us, an aspiration that all will be well and order will
return. It definitely begins to well up within us, at some point, when we are
faced with a challenge.

by Deborah Lamb, I realize the whole universe is at my fingertips, as is my willingness to
manifest what is needed in my reality. Every experience of life is God teaching
me. As I look in this pure state of awareness, I feel the pure energy within my
whole body. From the rhythm of my breathing, I feel a quiet state of attunement
— one with God.

by Pema Chödrön. Generally speaking, we regard discomfort in any
form as bad news. But for practitioners or spiritual warriors — people who have
a certain hunger to know what is true — feelings like disappointment,
embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of
being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that
we're holding back. The first thing that happens in meditation is that we start to see what's happening. Just seeing what's going on — that's the teaching right there.

 by Shepherd Hoodwin. Problems do not limit your aliveness or happiness. They are simply challenges that give you opportunities to make choices and grow. As you increasingly open to yourself, happiness wells up from deep inside you. Feel it. Remember a happy feeling from the past, or imagine one now.
If you like, tie it to a scene or image. Feel the feeling. Be in the middle of
it. Let the happiness of that feeling fill you full and overflow beyond you,
filling the room.

by Gertrud Hirschi. Meditation, as I understand and practice it, has become an indispensable aid in my life. I recharge my inner batteries and solve my problems, make decisions, get advice and comfort, refine my character traits, mobilize my immune forces, develop visions for the future -- and seek my connection with the Divine. We can use meditation for everything.

by Robert Landau. Exhaustive research conducted over the last couple of
years has shown that meditation is an excellent antidote against stress,
hyperactivity, and fear related themes. It has been found to increase your
energy, as well as lower blood pressure and heart rate. Meditation can also be
used as a successful tool to accompany many medical, psychological and
alternative healing therapies. Last, but certainly not least, for centuries,
people like you and me have been using the art of meditation to control the
mind-chatter that so often interferes with our connection to inner peace...

by Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. You do not come into earth to meditate. You come into earth to think, feel, act, and do. Thus, the primary impulse from your soul is not to meditate, but to love, to create harmony and goodness, and to heal. Now, the forces of God will love you no matter
what you do, whether you meditate or not, whether you fulfill your purposes or
not, whether you are loving or selfish. Your soul will also love you in all of
those cases.
