Meditation for Peace with 'Lanterns'
A way of connecting with others in a meditation for peace using intent.
(As always, avoiding anxiety, sadness, anger, stress and worry can be difficult sometimes. For this purpose, I use a piece of music called
'Weightless' by Marconi Union (available on iTunes). It's designed especially to switch our nervous system into parasympathetic mode. It's the only recording I've ever been able to meditate successfully to. Sometimes I play it all the way through, other times just for a couple of minutes. If it doesn't relax me, then I know it's not a good time for me to meditate).
This meditation needs only intention and a measure of calm, it doesn't have to be a deep meditation. It can be as short or as long as you like, with whatever meditation sounds you like or none at all. I like to begin by listening to the chorus of the song 'Lanterns' by Birds of Tokyo and sing or visualise the words to the chorus then switch to meditation music.
"On we march with a midnight song
We will light our way with our lanterns on,
On we march 'til we meet the dawn
We will light our way with our lanterns on."
Visualise yourself in a white, hooded, ankle length robe with gold trim, then visualise a long rod in your hand with an unlit lantern at the end of it. Hold up the rod and ask your higher self or guardian Angel to light the lantern with Love Light, with the intention of taking that lantern on a journey to a place of conflict, then driving it into the ground for people in the area to draw upon, regardless of whether they fight or not, and regardless of whose side their on. The Love Light is there for all, whether they feel it or not.
Begin your journey wherever you like. Visualise other people in their white robes and lanterns of Love Light, appearing silently nearby as you travel, going to the same place as you are. Visualise yourself and the others from above, seeing more and more people joining you - dozens, then hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions if you like - all the Love Lights converging from all directions around the conflict zone. Go back to the ground and see the Love Lights all around you, above you on mountains, on boats along rivers, stretching to the horizon. When you get close to the conflict zone some people will stop and plant their Love Light lanterns there, others with continue on to the borders and then plant their lanterns, while some will go further and further into the conflict zone to plant their lanterns. Some will go to the seats of power - parliaments, palaces, government houses - and plant their Love Light Lanterns there. Choose whatever place feels comfortable for you. Rise up above the scene and watch the dots of Love Light spreading across the country/countries. Give thanks for being one of the masses of humanity bringing lanterns of Love Light to this place. Then teleport back home
