A New Earth Guided Meditation

As the consciousness of a new earth emerges on the planet, this guided meditation will be a transformative spiritual practice that enables you to deeply re-connect to the vast intelligence of the body and harness this new energy as it emerges. I first became aware of this practice in The Power of Now, and it has been deeply instrumental in my personal transformation. Eckhart Tolle describes the experience of this meditation as a perception of the "inner body."



This guided meditation is both centering and relaxing because the process connects you to your innermost essence, your inner body or inner energy field at the core of your being. By re-connecting to this feeling of inner aliveness you automatically feel a greater sense of being centered, at ease, and alert.   This process of centering automatically stimulates a relaxed feeling because energy is directed into the body and withdrawn from your thinking.
 
Your body is always anchored in the here and now.  Your body never leaves the present moment even though your thinking mind takes you on a wild ride into the past and future.  This exercise focuses your conscious attention on the physical body, thus energy has to be withdrawn from the process of thinking in order to concentrate on the body.  You feel more centered because your physical body is centered in the present moment.  You feel more relaxed because your physical body is fed by the energy of your conscious attention.

This exercise is the staple of my spiritual life.  This is number one on my list. Number two is practicing the exercise with a group of people.  As far as the when and where, I did set aside blocks of time in the beginning to cultivate this practice.  When first starting out, I would recommend putting a program in place where you intentionally follow along with the exercise as I present it in the video.  You may consider doing this at two or three set times during the day.
 
The purpose is to condition your body’s intelligence to perform the act of connecting so that it does not require thinking.  Just as you would condition your body to hit a golf ball or tennis ball by spending time at the driving range or by hitting a tennis ball against the wall, by practicing the exercise you condition the body to re-connect to the inner field of aliveness without the need for a conscious choice to be made every time.
 
In time, as you go throughout your day the body will “wake you up” from being lost in thought, and quite possibly stressful thought, and automatically bring the feeling of that inner aliveness into your conscious awareness.  Once this habit is established, then your body’s intelligence takes over and becomes a trusted ally on your path of awakened doing.

Cultivate your body’s natural inclination to be centered and relaxed so that you can navigate throughout the course of your day grounded in your state of presence.  It is from this state of presence that you can fully experience the richness of the present moment and effectively manage the challenges of everyday life without experiencing any unnecessary stress or anxiety.

 

 

Inner Body Awareness

"Most people are so distracted by their thoughts, so identified with the voices in their heads, they can no longer feel the aliveness within them. To be unable to feel the life that animates the physical body, the very life that you are, is the greatest deprivation that can happen to you."

Eckhart Tolle
