Before you read the meditation, remember, that it will take three or four tries before you start feeling a good feeling. It may seem corny at first and you may want to change some of the words. But, the idea is get to a place where love fills your being and all stresses depart. Once you get to this place, you pray for different things.
Here's the meditation:
1. Close our eyes and breathe deeply 3 or 4 times, while saying the following to yourself: I am the full expression of God's love, Just as God is love, so am I. I am love.
2. Hold in your mind the image of someone you love. Then imagine yourself putting your arms around that person in a loving embrace while simultaneously saying "I love you" in your mind. Hold on to this feeling of love, allowing it to spread throughout your entire being. [don't move too fast, take a minute or two just relaxing letting the feeling spread]
3. While holding on to this feeling of love, silently say to yourself, "I feel love." After a few moments mentally say, "I feel God." Then finally, in your mind say, "Thank you," allowing the feeling of gratitude and appreciation to wash over you.
4. Remain in this state of being for a few minutes, imagining the love in you radiating outward in an egg-shaped sphere of vibratory energy that flows out unto all people encompassing the world and the universe. [sounds a little strange for us Mormons. Change to oneness with God or something else if you like.]
This exercise is disarmingly simple. If you want to have the love of God in your heart (the fruit of the tree of life in Lehi's dream), then practice placing yourself in state of feeling love. Repeat the mediation exercise one time or multiple times. After a few times doing it, it becomes easier and easier to put yourself in a loving, warm, happy state. Fear can't exist and faith and trust begin to grow.
