Visualization for Increasing Intuitive Awareness for the Subtle Body

Sit in a quiet place in your home with both feet on the floor. Hands on table or lap in upward motion. Close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose very deeply into your abdomen. Let your breath out through your mouth. Take three more deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. Let your body relax feeling the relaxation from your feet to the top of your head. Take three more deep breaths through your nose and mouth. Imagine yourself sitting away from yourself as an observer. As observer study yourself sitting in your chair meditating. Notice how your shoulders are, slopping or upright? Are your legs crossed? Study your facial expression. Remember you are an outsider looking at yourself meditating. Notice your breath. Is it fast or slow, deep or shallow? As you are watching yourself, as the outsider, you begin to breathe in sync with yourself. As you are watching yourself, you begin to feel what your skin feels like to hold everything in. Is your skin cold? Does your skin feel nervous? Put yourself as the outsider into the skin of you as meditate. Continue to pretend that your breath as outsider is the breath that you hold and release as meditator. As observer notice how you are feeling as meditator. Is your heart beating fast or slow? Are your thoughts calm or frantic? As observer, how does the meditator feel in general? Try to feel that same feeling. Notice your abdomen area. Is it tense or calm? Thank the meditating you for being present for you as observer to get to know the subtle experiences your body and mind go through. Gently drop back into your meditating body so you are completely one again. Slowly open your eyes. Shake your fingers and feet so you are completely awake. The goal of this meditation is to help your mind/body practice seeing and feeling the subtle changes your body goes through. Sometimes intuitive hunches are felt in the body somewhere. Some people feel it in the chest, stomach, or mind when they get an intuitive flash. Getting used to feeling the subtle energies of your body help make your connection to the intuitive voice more strong. Intuitive messages can be very subtle, so practice observing these subtle experiences your body and mind go through. Author: Suzanne Bishop, MS

Visualization for Opening Third Eye

Close your eyes. Place your awareness and focus in the middle of your forehead slightly above your brow area. In your mind’s awareness feel a color that is pure and bold. It is the color indigo and it is a deep shade of blue with a purple tint. As you focus your awareness on this third eye location slightly above your brow area and you feel the color indigo, imagine a closed flower bud forming about the size of a dime where your third eye is. Keep the focus on the flower bud as you breathe in deeply into your nose and let your breath out through your mouth. Still focusing on your third eye, which is now a flower bud that is awakening, opening right before you. Focus on opening the flower petals one at a time. As the flower petals slowly open, your awareness of that pure color indigo is growing. The color indigo is permeating the air around you and indigo slowly becomes the color of the flower as it is opening wide open. The open flower located on your forehead a little above your brow is pulsating the color indigo. As you continue to focus on the third eye, which is now a beautiful wide awake flower you begin to feel a powerful sensation of unconditional love. Unconditional love is now permeating throughout your body and mind and the flower that is your third eye is also pulsating that unconditional love outward towards the room, outwards to the world and universe and on into the heavens. Take a moment to sit in silence and the beauty of the imagery you have just created. After your moment of silence remember to thank your third eye for working with you to help you open and develop your innate intuition and visual clairvoyance. When you are ready, you may open your eyes and be fully awake. Author: Suzanne Bishop, MS
