Grounding Yourself: A Guided Meditation For Yin-Yang Balance

Grounding Yourself: A Guided Meditation For Yin-Yang Balance

The well known concept of yin and yang originated in Chinese metaphysics, and represents two opposing but complimentary forces, something that is found throughout all of nature.

Yin is often symbolized as water or earth, and is considered the receptive, feminine force.

Yang is symbolized by fire or wind, and is the creative, masculine opposite of Yin.

While opposites, they are not absolutes, thus nothing can exist without each, and neither is superior to the other, and you must find the right balance of yin and yang in your own life

There are many methods of guided meditations that can help you to find this balance. Through regular guided meditation, you can find that state of serene oneness that is the result of a good balance between yin and yang.

The following meditation can be recorded by you or a friend, and you can listen to it as a tool to help your meditation.

Take a breath and relax, becoming as comfortable as possible. Your clothes should be loose and comfortable, and all your muscles loose.

Take a deep breath. Close your eyes.

Listen to the sounds as they come to you, sounds such as the traffic, birds, voices out on the street. Do not focus on them, just let them be part of the world.

Listen to the sounds within your body. Your breathing, in and out, the beating of your heart.

Listen to all of those sounds, and turn them into a picture inside your mind. Visualize them as one joined sound, like the sound of the ocean. Imagine yourself floating in this ocean of being, and as you breathe, allow yourself to sink further into it with each breath.
