Eyes Open Meditation

Select a crystal to use as a focal object for meditation.
Ensure you have cleansed it well prior to working with it.
Make sure you are comfortable, in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Place the crystal where you can comfortably gaze at it, preferably at eye level.
Begin your meditation by slowing your breathing, noticing the in-breath and the out-breath and with each out-breath consciously relax your body from your head down to your toes.
When you are ready focus your eyes on the crystal, try not to stare, just keep your gaze soft and relaxed.
If any distracting thoughts come into your mind allow them to be acknowledged and then breath them out and away.
As you gaze upon your crystal
- notice how you feel;
- is the crystal ‘drawing you in’?
- are you experiencing anything in the way of images, sensations or thoughts?
Continue to gaze upon your crystal, allowing any experiences for as long you as you are comfortably able.
When you feel ready to end your meditation stretch your body and drink some water to ground you.
Cleanse your crystal before putting it away.

It is a good idea to write down any experiences you had during this meditation making a note of the crystal used and the date
