Unfortunate actions on our part, even a while back, may still be present in our unconscious causing discomfort from time to time. This may cause us to slip into low self-esteem mode, so the best course of action here is to balance out these feelings with positive actions on our part which made us feel good, alongside with this meditation.
The essence of this meditation is to release our errors as temporary blips on our spiritual journey and not as a permanent fixture in our consciousness. This will assist in purifying our negative thinking patterns too.
You will need the following for this meditation:
a blend of essential oils to assist purification meditation, such as Juniper berry, lemon, violet leaf, grapefruit, myrrh, cypress, basil, frankincence or hyssop.
A burner, matches, tealight, and cushion to sit on.
- Float your chosen blend of essential oils on the water of your burner and light the candle.
- Sit comfortably in your preferred meditation posture, watch your breath in calm meditation for a few minutes, and become aware of the essential oils you are vaporizing;
- Bring to mind one or more negative actions you have committed in the past that you would like to purify;
- Generate sincere repentance and regret for having done these negative actions and resolve not to repeat them, then request to whichever spiritual source is appropriate to you for help in keeping your resolution;
- Return to watching your breath. On the next exhalation visualise any negative energy from your action as dark smoke dissipating on your out-breath. Then visualise spiritual strength in the form of pure white light entering your body during the next inhalation.
- Repeat for a few breaths, enjoying the vaporized essential oils, until you feel that the purification is completed.
- End with a few minutes of watching your breath, and take your time getting up and moving on.
