I teach guided meditations so I'll share one with you and you can tell me what you think.
This one is a meditation to give and accept more love.
Lie down and close your eyes. Lying down with your legs completely relaxed, ankles gently resting to the sides, arms rested and relaxed, all muscles free of any tension. Take in some nice long breaths counting to 5 inhale and exhale to the count of 5, slowly add more counts to the breaths until you are inhaling and exhaling to the count of 8. Continue this breath.
Continue breathing and as you breathe visualize a small light growing within your heart. This light becomes brighter and brighter with each breath. The light slowly starts to evolve and grow to expand around your heart with a beautiful blanket of light. The light continues to expand beyond your heart to envelope your chest, neck and shoulders. This light continues to grow and expand throughout your entire body up to your head, down your arms and back all the way to your legs, feet and toes. This light is purifying and cleansing your body. Allow this light to permiate and readiate throughout your entire body, allowing your cells to accept this light and own it. Breathe.
Now slowly bring your right hand over across your heart, then with your left hand rest it upon the right. Visualize a pink light growing from within your heart. As you breath this light expands and illuminates throughout your heart. The light wraps around your heart in a loving embrace. It blankets your heart with love and beauty, increasing your desire for love as well as your capability to love. This pink light expands beyond your heart filling your chest, neck and shoulders. Feel the light as it gently flows up your spine, envelopes you mind and flows back down your spine to your arms all the way down to your fingers. This light continues to travel througout your body absorbing into your cells, down to your legs, feet and toes. This light is radiating throught your body in a beautiful pink glow. Your body is full of the light of love and is accepting and owning this love. This love is unconditional and everlasting. You accept this love, knowing that it is safe to be loved as well as share this love with others. Breathe.
"It is safe to love and be loved, I see love because I am love." Continue breathing slowly turning your body to a fetal position, with your arm pillowing your head conitnue to rest and breath. Slowly sit upright crossing your legs breathe and bring your hands to heart. Palms are touching and resting at your chest. Continue to breathe letting your head bow, graciously accept this gift of love from the Universe with a greatful heart and know that in order to keep this gift you must give it away. Namaste

Beautiful!!! it is a very nice Sadhana (Spiritual discipline) if you practice it with devotion and regularity it'll develop your soul making you a more loving and receptive person for sure, the visualizations will help you develop your ajna chakra (spiritual eye) as well.

Well I knew you would appreciate it!
Practice with devotion and regularity, you mean I can't just meditate once in a while?
BTW I didin't know the visualizations could help to open up the third eye. But that makes sense. As always thanks for your wisdom Travelling fella, I think I'm going to call you Trav for short, is that ok?

Yes of course you can!! but your spiritual development would be proportional to the regularity and commitment you put on it.
But like a great yogi once said, if you practice your sadhana even sporadically, this will save you from great suffering.

There's no need to thank me sure go on, hehe Trav sounds cool
Great exercise... anything that increases our ability to love and radiate light is surely good for all mankind.
Christ said. "Let your light so shine among men, that them seeing your good works, shall glorify your Father in heaven".
Which i take to mean that the Expansion (heaven) will grow and grow without measure, as we draw near to God (the good). Through letting the light of love flow through us.

Man, I simply love the way you understand spirituality!

I find it very interesting and refreshing to see the spiritual meditation, this is something that my people have been practicing for thousands of years and we have learned to live in harmony with our surroundings, to have respect for all that our Creator has given us and to have respect for each other. It is good to see that there are still those out there that practices this in one form or another. osay
Many, many times when I pray, but just can't feel the presence of the Spirit of God, because I can't get the daily cares out of my mind, I do a total relaxation exercise not much different from this..I completely focus on relaxing each part of my body separately..It seems to allow me to put the stress and worries of the day out of mind and puts my focus on the light/love of God. Not sure where I learned this..

blue, this is something that has always been in us, but have forgotten how to use it because of all the other outside influences, it is our natural ability for relieving stress, once we have learned how to use this, we don't need any of the artificial means of relieving stress and strains of the day.
