Jealousy

Before you start make sure you are somewhere safe and cannot be disturbed

This meditation is for feeling jealous. First of all, if you feel you or another person isn’t safe because of your jealousy, please call 911 or one of the emergency numbers supplied on our MajiMind site. It is important to know that jealousy is a very normal human feeling. Though what we do with it is much more important. If we don’t pay attention to it when it happens, it can become difficult. It can create fights and ruin what we so so much long for. Jealousy, when not dealt with in proper ways, can become poisonous for self and others. This meditation is to make sure you do not act from jealousy to others, and to learn to love yourself through it. There are so many different types of jealousy. There is jealousy of a partner, jealousy of possession, jealousy of friendship, name it. It brings us to the deepest point of insecurity, and it is very very hard to deal with jealousy, because somehow the heart, or love, or self image, or our wellbeing, and security all feel in danger. So jealousy is not something to take lightly. It can make sense to be jealous, but it is a whole other thing to deal with in ways that will be constructive rather than destructive. So lets place your hands on your chest and keep them there for the entire duration of the meditation. The chest is the heart point in eastern philosophies. Since this is a matter of the heart, and feelings about self or others, it is the best spot for the hands during this meditation. So feel your hands rest on your chest, feel the sensation of that, and let that feeling sink inside of you. In a way it is soothing your heart, and feeling the love you feel for yourself. Feel the warmth of your hands radiating into your chest as a soothing feeling of compassion. So now make sure you sit straight up in a chair, or in a mediation lotus pose, or lay down somewhere comfortable. Close your eyes gently, and just let go of everything that surrounds you. Just let it go. Just be here with the background music and the voice, and you in the spot where you are. And feel your hands resting on your chest, and feel how hard it is to feel jealous, feel how it sits in your chest in your heart space area. And just be kind to it. Understand it with love for yourself. So next you are going to take 3 deep breaths in through your nose, and while you do that, visualize light in the area right under your hands. Feel the center there where the light can land, then through your mouth you breathe out the stress from the jealousy. So lets take the first deep breath in through your nose while your hands rest on your chest, and visualize, sense, feel, think, imagine, any way you can do it, golden white light from the universe coming into the chest into the place where your heart is residing to fill it up with love and kindness. Then out through your mouth let go of all the stress, hurt, jealousy, pain, and anger. And again take a deep breathe in through your nose, visualize the light coming into your chest area, as it warms, soothes you, and loves you in a kind matter, it is almost like you hold yourself and say: “oh me, i am feeling so crappy today about this, and it makes sense I am feeling crappy.” And out through your mouth breathe out all the hard feelings – let it go. And one more time breathe in the light from the universe through your nose, breathe it deeply into your where hands rest on your chest, and feel how that center is being filled with warmth and love and kindness and allow it to be there. Then breathe out one more time the stress that is created by jealousy. Now focus into the heart center where the light and love is. Put that focus there with warmth and attention about feeling less, and how that feeling is hugged by the light, and how the light is surrounding your feelings less. Sit with these feelings surrounded by the light for a little while, and see what comes up for you, where your thoughts and feelings are about jealousy. When thoughts are coming up that are painful, hurtful, angry, or embarrassing, just embrace them with kindness and tell yourself it makes sense you feel or think that way. Though you don’t need to act from that place of hurt, as long as you are kind to those feelings. Now I will be counting to 10, and with each breath you breathe in, you go a little deeper into the feelings of your heart to create security. So 1. feel the hands on your chest, 2. focus on the energy of light, love,warmth, and kindness you brought into your chest, and 3. let go of thoughts just let them disappear as white little clouds on a blue sky, and 4. see how your thoughts have disappeared, and all that is left is an empty beautiful blue sky. 5. Go a little deeper into the chest where the heart space is in the middle of your chest and focus there. and 6. allow yourself to feel what you are feeling and how intense it is for you. 7. tell yourself that again that it makes sense you feel this way, and 8. go a little deeper with love and kindness almost like hugging your insecurities with deep compassion and understanding, and 9. just sit and focus on that center, and 10. visualize, sense, think, feel, imagine any way you can do it, that the energy in the center is expanding throughout your chest. Let it go all the way into your chest, and make it larger and larger, and wider and wider until it fills your whole chest. See how the light is penetrating the cells in your body with positive energy, and positive feelings about yourself. Spend some time just going into your brain and observe mindfully what thoughts you have around the jealousy. Look at it as an observer into your own thoughts, what were the thoughts you were thinking? Were they kind to you or kind to others? And start breathing in the light by taking a deep breath through your mouth into the brain, while your breath out through your mouth, you let go of any thoughts that you don’t want to have. And again breathe into your brain, fill your brain with light, and breathe out all the stress and negative thoughts, just let them go. And one more time breathe in and feel how you fill your brain with light and let go when you breathe out of all that you don’t want to listen to. And now you are going to bring feelings of self love into your whole body. Self love for your heart, self love for your brain, so when you breathe in through your nose, fill your brain and your heart area completely with love and kindness. And when you breathe out through your mouth again, let go of anything that isn’t self love. When you breathe in, feel the glowing warmth of self love coming into your brain and your chest, and fill it up with light, with loving light, with embracement, and breathe out what doesn’t belong there. So again breathe in through your nose, love with full acceptance and kindness and understanding, and compassion for yourself. And breathe out through your mouth all the negative stuff that doesn’t belong inside of you. Go ahead, and continue this way of breathing for a minute by yourself, and I will be back soon.

Good now make a deep commitment into your brain and heart that you are going to be kind to yourself. Jealousy comes from not feeling enough or not feeling worth it, and from now on you are enough, so make a commitment to yourself to no more self loathing, no more putting yourself down, and no more seeing yourself through the eyes of others in a negative way. You are you, you are your unique self, and every person on this earth is their own unique person with their own beauty, their own capabilities, and on their own path in life. Thank yourself for this new found understanding with loving kindness, and then when you are ready you can wiggle your toes, wiggle your fingers, and open your eyes when you are ready. Namaste.

Through research, meditation is known to physiologically change the brain over time to a more conscious governing state. When regularly and consistently practiced, meditation or guided meditation can have a short and long term positive effect on the brain. Over time the brain slowly moves away from the Limbic System to the Frontal Lobes, which is the productive administrator of the brain.
