Meditation is a part of yoga, and there are many different types of meditation you can do.
Let’s look at two.
Yoga meditation for healing
In this simple healing meditation, you send the powerful healing Life Force directly to the area in need of help. This Life Force is the energy behind all healing.
Wherever this energy is flowing and in balance, there is health and well being. Wherever this energy is blocked or out of balance, illness manifests.
Many people believe in visualization as a key healing tool. Energy healing meditation helps you to concentrate your positive energy on an afflicted area and alleviate any adverse symptoms and feelings that are being manifested through the physical pain.
Sit reasonably straight and close your eyes.
Breathe slowly, as silently as possible. (Holding your breath after inhaling or exhaling is not recommended.)
As you inhale, feel yourself breathing the healing Life Force in through your solar plexus. Picture this Life Force as a very refined, light energy.
As you exhale, gently direct this light energy to the afflicted area. If there is not a specific ailing area, disperse this light energy throughout your body as you exhale.
Continue until you feel the area has received enough Life Force.
COLOR HEALING MEDITATION
We are not just our physical selves. We are multi-dimensional beings, composed of an Inner Spirit, a mental body, an emotional body, a vital body, and a physical body. The energy of these bodies becomes progressively subtler from physical to spiritual. Illness begins with disharmony in one of these energy bodies. If not harmonized, the disease moves outward, affecting the denser bodies, ultimately manifesting as physical illness.
Total healing requires restoring harmony to all of our bodies. This meditation is designed to cleanse and harmonize your various bodies with the healing energies of color.
Color healing meditation will provide you with cleansing, balancing, & healing at all levels: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Vital, & Physical.
It also will develop concentration & visualization abilities.
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
Visualize a large ball of radiant Golden light a few inches over your head. Visualize that ball of light slowly descending through your crown, filling your entire being with golden light.
Imagine yourself absorbing that light as it nourishes, cleanses and heals your whole being - your Spirit and all of your bodies - dissolving all blocked and toxic energies.
Repeat this exercise, visualizing a ball of Red light. Continue through the entire spectrum like this, visualizing a ball of Orange light; Yellow light; Green light; Blue light; Indigo light; and Violet light. Go through the spectrum at whatever pace feels appropriate.
Take some time to visualize yourself in a state of perfect, radiant health.

Yoga to heal: yoga for cancer survivors

Yoga is a great help for stress, and helps you to heal from many illnesses, even cancer.
Some oncologists are now recommended yoga classes to their patients.
“Yoga: Help in healing” reports:
“Yoga means union, it’s about welcoming that body back, honoring that body, loving that body,” she said. “Yoga therapy helps the whole person heal.”
Cancer and the fear of its return can lead to anxiety, so certain poses and breathing exercises are emphasized to calm the mind and body, Kessell said. Another component of yoga, meditation, allows people time to reconnect with themselves and reflect. Visualization techniques focus on imagining healing energy in and around the body. Some classes include a support group, with time set aside for checking in and talking.
Yoga gently reminds you to stay in the moment, and to live your life. For cancer survivors, yoga can help them to come to terms with their illness and find joy in their life.
