I have a dilemma. I spoke in an earlier post about not treading on people's beliefs and not trying to push mine on others, aside from my sharing my meditation experience. Today is a bit tricky, because it is about Guardian Angels, so while I probably won't tread lightly, if you believe in angels, great. If you don't believe in Angels, use your imagination and make up something in your mind that helps you feel at ease and at peace.
For me, meditation is about connecting with God, the Universe and most importantly myself. It's about connecting and looking deep inside my soul to weed out the things in there that serve no purpose, except to cause damage. Though baptized and raised Catholic, I also grew up with a father that questioned the existence of all I was taught to believe, so this helped me open my mind and question things too. Right now I find I connect to the ethereal super powers that be much better outside in nature, or in a quiet room, then with a crowd full of other people. If church is something you enjoy, then by all means I am not stopping you, this is just my personal choice and for now, one that works for me.
Today's meditation begins with the usual relaxation breathing. Once your mind is calm, imagine you are sitting in a dark room. Now, imagine a gold sparkle coming towards you. How does it make you feel? After a few moments, the golden sparkle begins to circle around you, protecting you and keeping you safe. It is trying to heal you and bring you peace. Imagine the sparkle as energy, pure energy just lifting your cares away. If you believe in Angels, ask it to help heal your pain, or to help you in any of your endeavors. If you do not believe in angels, imagine the energy is creating a clean slate for you to write down the things you would like to accomplish. When you feel calm, thank the sparkle (angel, or energy) for it's help and then slowly open your eyes.
That meditation is a variation of the one I did today, but I want people to try it, whether you believe or not, simply because it is an exercise to allow you to open up and allow help from another source. It is kind of like opening up the heart chakra. You're allowing yourself to depend on someone, or something else and there is nothing wrong with that. Don't you like to help people? Well, imagine that person you are trying to help is you and you don't want the much needed help being offered. This is something along those lines.
Sometimes trusting in something we can't see is harder than we think. I understand this. I was told I have a spirit guide and it turns out he is a well known author. For years I thought, why me? I know I love to write, but this person wants to help me? Or, is he being punished? We'll go with the former.
Believing doesn't make me any less goofy than I am. It doesn't make me weird. It just means I believe what I believe in, just like you do. This meditation helped me with my heart chakra and opening it up more, as well as slowing it down a bit to find that balance.

I would also like to apologize. This last weekend was a bit of a busy one for me and I admit my posts have probably "read" like they were written by someone half asleep. Well, you are on the right track... *Yawn*...as for this post, like I said, I don't like to tread on beliefs, but I am determined to write my experiences for each of these meditation lessons.
Until tomorrow...try something new and if you feel so inclined, open your mind to different possibilities.
