3.5 Power of Meditation

Visualize yourself that you are sitting or standing in front of your own deity and your deity heals you by the Midas touch by pouring holy energy on you (in Greek mythology King Midas was said to have the ability to turn anything he touched into gold). If you are suffering from a pain, visualize in your mind’s eye, as clearly as possible: the nerve endings that are in the specific area of your discomfort, or all of the nerve endings in your entire body. For every inhalation, visualize and feel that healing air is flowing from a higher power and entering and filling your lungs. Visualize that your red blood cells are absorbing oxygen through the walls of your lungs and flowing through your arteries spreading holy oxygen to every cell in your
