Here is a short meditation I've produced especially for beginners and people who may have never meditated before.
Please read this information on preparing for your meditation
Make yourself comfortable, make sure the room you are in isn't too bright and ensure that all possible distractions are taken care of. Now, either site with a lit candle in front of you or if you haven't got access to one use my candle images on the video (but make sure you computer screen saver is switched off), concentrate on the voice you will hear and blank out of your mind everything else.
Imagine the candle as an entrance way to the vast spiritual dimensions permeating everything, imagine it as the doorway to the inner universe.
You might see this candle flame standing at the threshold between the physical and spiritual universes.
As you fix your gaze upon it, feel that you are looking at the candle with your heart and that
you are traveling through it with infinite peace.
Follow the flow of energy with your breath.
Breathe in the infinite peace of the spiritual universe. Feel your heart opening and expanding
as that peace flows into your being like a golden light.
On your outward breath feel that your worries and anxieties which give birth to all your mental, emotional and physical tensions, are being gathered up and released.
You might imagine this is as a flow of light.
You are breathing in a golden white light that is illumining your being with peace, and the darkness that is your tension in all it's flavours, you are letting go.
Try this once a day (maybe just before you go to bed) for at least 1 week and see if you notice a calmness within yourself or the ability to deal with life's worries a little easier.
If you want you can meditate in this manner alternatively on love; breathing out and releasing hate or anger or breathing in joy and breathing out depression and melancholy.
