Rainbow Chakra Meditation

In this meditation, you systematically bring coloured light to each of the main chakras (or energy centres) in your body, which can assist to enhance, balance and cleanse your energies. It provides a playful way to develop focus, expand your awareness and promote a deeper sense of well-being. Many people use meditations like this as a preliminary to deeper psychic or meditative work or healing work. You can also use this meditation when you are falling asleep at night.

This was recorded outdoors beside a small lake, very early on a spring morning. In the recording you will hear birdsong and frogs in the background along with the occasional mosquito. A family of geese swam near the shore while I was recording - 2 adults and 6 small goslings - but they veered off to another shore when they saw me there. You may hear their quiet voices in the background.

 

Metta Meditation

This meditation is also called a "lovingkindness" meditation and is a meditation that has been practiced by Buddhists for centuries. Use it when you want to practice benevolence or wish happiness for others or when you want to find peace with a tough situation. It can be repeated when fearful to help ease fears in any place or at any time of day. Don't let its simplicity fool you. It is surprising powerful.

This was recorded very early on a late spring morning beside a small lake. In the recording you will hear birdsong in the background along with frogs and perhaps even a dog barking in the distance.

 

Rainbow Path Meditation

Like the Rainbow Chakra Meditation, this meditation uses colour to assist you to enhance and cleanse your energies. Use this meditation when you want a playful way to develop focus, or expand your awareness. You can use this meditation as a simple centering exercise and you can use it as a jumping off point for deeper psychic and healing adventures. Powerful for healing and personal growth, you may want to try using this meditation when you are falling asleep at night.

This was recorded early on a spring morning under a pine tree. In the recording you will hear birdsong in the background along with the buzzing of mosquitoes.

 

A Morningsong of Birds

This is the background birdsong for some of the meditations Janet is offering here. Recorded near her home in the country in Canada in the spring of the year, this morningsong of birds is the perfect background music for relaxation, for healers to use in healing sessions or for meditation.
