Meditation The Lap of Jesus

“Allow the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven”   Matthew 10:14

——–*——–

Close your eyes and allow your breathing to become slow and rhythmic………….

Imagine energy from earth, coming up through your feet, up your legs, then into your lower torso. …………..

Keep your breathing deep, slow, rhythmic, and relaxed. Feel earth’s energy moving through your upper torso, down your arms, into your hands and fingers…………..

Now let the energy flow into your neck and fill your head…………..

Keep breathing, feeling your shoulders relaxed, and light coming through the top of your head, flowing through your whole body and down through the earth.

——–*——–

Now imagine you see Jesus sitting on a chair………………

You realize you are your 3 year old child, and Jesus is inviting you to sit on his lap……………….

You climb up and rest in his lap, your little legs and feet not even reaching his knees………………

You are very small, and nestle back into His body………………

First you feel the warmth of His chest against your back and notice how safe you feel……………….

In a few moments you can feel His slow, rhythmic breathing, and you realize you have entrained your breath to His……………….

You feel yourself embraced by His Presence………………

Then, you notice His heartbeat, perfect and strong……………….

Soon your heart is beating with His……………….

Focus on the hearts beating together……………….

You feel  yourself melting into Jesus, as your breathing and heartbeats and bodies become one………………

 Stay there as long as you like………………

——–*——–

And when it’s time to slip off His lap, Jesus tells you that He not only lives in your heart and body and surrounds you, but you also live in Him. “I will never leave you or forsake you.”    Hebrews 13:5

P. S. This is a great way to fall asleep.
