Oneness
Meditation
©1996 Frank Sant'Agata
Guided
Visualization
These
meditations are best experienced by recording them on tape or
reading to a group
in a slow peaceful voice with pauses. It may be also helpful
to include soft, meditative
instrumental music in the background.
Imagine for a few
moments that you are in a crowded place. A mall, perhaps an amusement
park, a store, somewhere that there are people all about; walking
this way and that way, wandering, looking--people all around
you. Some are strangers to you. Some you have known for a long
time. Others are acquaintances. Others still, have a vague familiarity.
You find yourself seated comfortably at a place where you can
view every one clearly, as though they are parading by. Now choose
the next one your eyes fall on; the next one your thoughts evoke,
and notice a tiny glow of light in some portion of their being.
Look at another person and then another still, and see that they
too have a faint light that has always been there, but seems
to be glowing brighter now that you have noticed it. You feel
light headed--almost giddy, at the awareness that everyone is
glowing brighter and brighter. You notice that, as they glow
brighter, they also move quite a bit slower. And with that, you
find that you are also slowing down. Your thoughts are less frequent
and your mind is joining their minds in a slow motion dance of
light and being oneness.
You sense a warmness flowing throughout your being, extending
outward-- tingling, vibrating. Feeling so relaxed, yet so aware.
The light that is emanating from all the people around you is
growing more intense now. It is becoming a bright white color
with an increasing intensity. The light is becoming so bright
and softly diffused, that it is now difficult to distinguish
where one person's outline ends and the next one begins. They
all seem to be merging; blending; consolidating, into one bright
glowing existence. Become aware that you are glowing with the
same intensity, that brilliant white light, and that you too
are merging with the others.
With that awareness you begin to feel weightless; floating in
the midst of all the others, and you don't quite know where you
leave off and the next being begins. Light is all around you--all
through you, and everyone is a soft blending of light--joining
light; light everywhere; light. Comfort surrounds you and you
feel so very pleasant, so very safe, so very secure. The light
that you radiate to, and receive from, all beings everywhere,
is the manifestation of pure love and peace and joy.
Allow yourself to fully surrender to that oneness now as you
begin to experience a feeling of love that is not of being "in"
love but of being "love, itself," extending outward
to everyone around you. Know from this experience what it feels
like to be an expression of love wherever you go. The spirit
of light and love of all those who go with you in that sharing
oneness is always with you. In every task you set out to accomplish,
let this love enhance that task as though you were doing it for
God Himself; and then, acknowledge that in fact, you really are!
Now, allow yourself to experience a feeling of peace, your "self"
being the very definition of peace. In the union of oneness with
all other beings, there can be nothing to fear of anyone, because
everyone is a part of you. Feel the comfort that comes with being
peaceful wherever you go, in whatever activities you choose to
do. Each one flowing into tranquility that can only come from
perfect peace; peace that is you.
Now, allow yourself to experience a feeling of joy, being "joy,
itself." Share and exchange that feeling with all the light
beings who are a part of you. Experience what it feels like to
be the very essence of joyfulness that precedes you as you enter
the presence of others and lingers still after you have gone.
Now, allow yourself to experience the feeling of oneness. Being
one with all who are with you in light, remember that we are
all a part of God's one Son and with that awareness, feel your
oneness with God, our Father, our Source. Feel His love extend
through you to all the beings with which you have merged in oneness.
Remember this feeling well and take it back with you to use each
time you forget who you are; who we all are.
Now, bring your awareness to the light once again. See all the
myriad beings as they one by one take back their physical form
and their identities in the world each one has created to live
in. Notice that even in their physical form, light is still glowing
brightly in every one. Now, see your own being, as it reenters
the physical world. It glows too and has retained the awareness
of the love, the peace, the joy and the oneness it just experienced.
Begin to come back to this room slowly taking back your role,
your identity as a student in your curriculum here on Earth,
and as each facet of your life enters your awareness, bless them;
every one, with the feelings of peace, love, joy and oneness
that are with you now.
