Meditation Overview

This meditation is a centering practice designed to help you cultivate spaciousness in your home and in your life for years to come. Any time you or your home feels tight or contracted, unsupported, or small, or jangled, I invite you to practice this meditation.

Remember that it is ultimately your personal chi (life force) that maintains the integrity of the Space or Personal Clearing session. To help maintain (and raise) the energy level of your self as well as your home, I recommend you practice this meditation every day for a few minutes. Use the audio recording to help you relax into it and get started.

Please note: The “Discerning Field” works to filter out negative influences that no longer serve and support your highest good. It will not filter out that which is needed for your soul to evolve.

Discerning Field Meditation

[Appreciation and credit to Eric Dowsett for the inspiration and some of the phrasing.]

Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit for a few minutes. Close your eyes, and feel yourself relax as you take a nice, easy breath in and a slow, emptying breath out… If you like you can repeat the phrase, “I choose ease” to help you relax even more…

Begin by tuning into or invoking that which represents the purest form of unconditional love… This can be a person, or a Divine Presence, a yummy energy, or a field of golden light... Whatever form it takes, visualize this Being or Energy in front of you, radiating more love than you can imagine…

With your awareness, feel it getting closer and closer to you, and stronger and stronger…

As this Divine Presence expands and reaches you, imagine yourself being drawn into its center…feel yourself held and enveloped in pure unconditional love… and warmth… and safety….

Notice your breathing…

Imagine this energy entering your body through the center of your back, behind your heart…filling up your tank so to speak…infusing every cell in your body with Divine Presence. From the top of your head to the tip of your toes, feel every cell of your body–– every system, every organ, your blood, your bones, your skin, your hair––pulsating with this golden love and light––clearing out that which no longer serves and supports your physical system. Feel yourself cleansed and purified…

When you feel complete, imagine this Love energy beaming out through your heart space in front of you, at the center of your chest. Beam it out to fill your extended energy field––that invisible area that radiates out from the human body in concentric layers like the rings of tree. With each out breath, feel yourself expanding even more with this Love…

Direct this energy, especially to the areas in your personal energy field which have received some clearing…Invite it to gently soften and fill you with this new, higher vibration. Beef up the edge of your field with more golden light and love, creating a personal "discerning field" designed to filter out any negative influences that no longer serve your highest good…

When you feel complete, continue to beam this energy outwards to fill the room you are sitting in, until it too, is vibrating with golden Divine Love. Witness its radiance move to fill the adjoining rooms of your house or apartment or workplace, or car…Make sure to include the attic, the basement, the garage, and or other interior spaces that might apply…

Beam this energy out through the windows and the doors, extending all the way to the edge of your property on all sides, above and below, creating an energy bubble––an even larger "discerning field" that will filter out any negative influences that do not serve the highest good of your home, your family and other occupants, visible and invisible…

Ask that this "discerning field" of Divine Love hold for as long as is required for the highest good of all concerned.

When you feel ready, bring your awareness back to your expanded self, your most spacious self, sitting in the room. Take a nice deep breath in and a slow, easy emptying breath out. Open your eyes and notice how you feel right now. Notice how the space you’re sitting in feels and looks to you now.
