Mountain Meditation | by Madisyn Taylor Throughout history, humankind has stood in awe of mountains. The strength and sturdiness evident in the rocky crags and smooth slopes of peaks around the globe have from time immemorial inspired creativity and kindled courage. Mountains have been venerated by many cultures, which worshipped great summits as gods and sacred beings. In their looming presence, humanity has seen power, steadfastness, and resolve. Yet you needn't live near a mountain to tap into this vast energy of commanding grandeur. Conversely, since mountains are as unique in form as human beings, your locale may exist under the unwavering gaze of a small mountain without your knowing it. As you practice mountain meditation, the power that lurks in the heart of all mountains will flow into you while their essential beauty reminds you that you, too, are a creature of the earth. If there are mountains in your area, plan to spend some time enjoying the peaceful embrace of Mother Nature, which can be a potent meditation aid. Likewise, grasping a rock or stone in your hand will enable you to easily tap into earth energy. If you are prevented by circumstance from visiting a mountain, however, begin by visualizing yourself at the base of a towering summit. Holding a rock can be helpful to tune into mountain energy. You may find yourself picturing a steep and majestic snow capped peak or a lush, tree-covered mass that rises gently from the earth. Sit or imagine yourself sitting at the mountain's base and spend a few minutes simply coexisting with it. When you feel tranquil, express your intention to commune with your mountain and ask to receive its energy. Project your consciousness onto the mountain's peak, and look down upon the flatlands over which it stands guard. Send light to the flora and fauna that call the mountain home. You may discover that you feel wonderfully immense and unshakable as you delve deeper into the meditation. Finally, ask the mountain to serve as a guide and give it your sincerest gratitude. If you have literally visited a plateau or summit, pass time with the mountain by camping, hiking, or picnicking upon it. Or, if your journey has been a spiritual one, use your imagination to survey the sights, sounds, and scents of your mountain. As your explorations progress, you will become ever more grounded, growing gradually into your personal power. When you are finished meditating with mountain energy, give thanks to this strong and powerful energy for sharing time with you. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Angela Montano It has been said that every problem is mental and every solution is spiritual. Our problems, even minor ones, can ruin our whole day. And bigger challenges can leave us hopeless and paralyzed with fear. That's a lot of time to spend in dark places. We're searching for an oasis of light, peace and contentment. We yearn for soul support. True healing. So how do we connect to spiritual solutions when we are triggered - stressed, overwhelmed, feeling inadequate and not knowing what to do? The answer is simple and near. It's deep in our bones and pulsing in our hearts. It is our primal spiritual instinct. The answer is Prayer. It is the language of our soul. It unites us to our deepest power. Prayer changes things. It will change you. I'm talking about prayer like you've never experienced before - as rock-bottom love, a healing vibration, sublime relief. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
