The Skeleton Meditation
- for rest/rejuvenation and for dis-identity with the body - a useful preparation for death-experiences and astral travel. Sit cross-legged or kneel on a flat, comfortable surface, eg- a carpeted floor, and take a few minutes to compose/quieten the mind. Begin to visualize/compose/quieten the mind. Begin to visualize/imagine your skin, flesh and muscle growing soft and flaccid, peeling from your skull and running like candle-wax down your body and onto the floor (with it goes any anxieties, problems,hindrances to relaxation etc). Continue this process, letting the flesh roll from your neck, shoulders, arms and chest etc, until all that is left is a sitting or kneeling skeleton.Take your time and perform the exercise as intensely as you can.Now you can begin to reverse the process - imagine fresh, firm, healthy and vigorous new flesh and skin growing/attaching itself to the bones. Work from the toes up, finishing the visualization with a rested, rejuvenated, poised mind and body.Given the right (dramatic) circumstances IE- midnight in a dark room with eerie music or sound-effects in the background or a forest/deserted house/scrap of wasteland at twilight, this can prove a most stimulating experience.
