The following article is a mindfulness meditation I exercise from time to time when I want to give a “conscious boost” to increase the health of my blood flow, blood chemistry, and improve my overall circulative system function for optimal health.

As a two time open-heart patient survivor at age 39, I am obligated to monitor the health of my blood both as prescribed by my cardiologist to maintain my blood’s Protime symmetry (thin relative to thickness of my blood) to prevent blood clots, and also as part of my conscious intent exercise to harness the self healing power of the mind/body connection that we all have access to, and are personally responsible for optimizing.

For this meditation you will need a few ingredients…

1) At least 5 minutes

2) A quiet peaceful place to meditate

3) Sunshine

4) Fresh air without congestion

5) Conscious intention

6) An open mind

Begin by finding a quiet place where you will be exposed to a moderate dose of sunlight. This could be your backyard, in the court yard of your office building, or if you live in the inner city… a park close to your home.

Next sit in a comfortable position facing the sun so that you may feel the sunlight warming your face.

You may be conscious of times when you’ve laid on the beach or caught a few rays on your break how when your eyes are closed, you may still see a soft reddish glow shining through your eye lids as your eyes are still “seeing”, but are actually seeing the sunlight shining through your eyelids.

To begin, stare briefly into the sun and then close your eyes. You will see a bright dot of light that has been impressed upon your inner mind, which is genuinely the reflectivity of the sun like when you look at a bright light bulb that gives rise to an impression of light in your mind, when you close your eyes.

Focus on this dot of light as it fades away to center your brow chakra for the aim of this meditation (conscious intention.)

At this point of concentration, we are going to focus on your blood’s circulation that is in a literal sense being illuminated through the sunshine shining through your eyelids.

As humane beings, our bodies are designed to absorb nutrients from the sun. I won’t go into the biochemical procedure that occurs here, because as long as we recognise that we’re absorbing healthful nutrients like vitamin D from the sun… that’s actually all we need to recognise to exercise this mindfulness meditation.

As you are looking at the reddish glow appearing through the back of your eyelids, focus on the specs of shadows and light that appear to look like blood cells flowing through your eyelids.

Actually, the shapes, forms, mind art, and vein like streams are in a literal sense the refraction of light caused by the blood flow that is in a literal sense flowing through your eyelids, as the sun shines through them.

Eventually, the blood cells that are flowing through your eyelids, will arrive at your heart, your legs, and your brain as your blood flow circulates allround your entire body and recycles itself 3 times each minute.

When you observe the blood flowing through your eyelids being illuminated by the sun, you will in the end detect how the shapes that seem random, are random yet are flowing in a sure direction as the blood follows the natural blood stream of the veins and capillaries that are underneath the surface of your eyelids.

During this mindfulness meditation, focus your intent on the blood that is constantly flowing through your eyelids, and travels to each other portion of your body.

All the while the blood vessels that pass through your eyelids are transmutating sunlight and delivering it to each other percentage of your body through your circulative system.

While practicing this mindfulness meditation, focus intention into each blood cell that passes over your eyes, and speak to it reciting healthful affirmations like; “as each blood cell passes through my eyelids, it absorbs all the healthful nutrients from the sun that my body needs, and is restoring my blood alchemy to perfective health. My red and white blood cell count is at it’s healthiest. My cholesterol level is optimum. My blood renews and regenerates itself delivering necessary nutrients to each percentage of my body carrying with it the light of the sun!”

Yes, it’s true! And it’s likewise true that our skin absorbs the rays from the sun to soak up critical nutrients as well. Your blood in truth absorbs light from the sun as the nutrients we absorb from the sun are transformed and delivered to our bodies, as our body converts light energy into the actual nutritional resources we need to function at our optimal health.

Practice this easy Healthy Blood Mindfulness Meditation for 5-20 minutes at least once per week, and not only will you feel more alive and rejuvenated as you increase the communication through conscious intent among your conscious mind and the cells of your body, you will most likely appear more salubrious as your skin beams with a healthful glow.

If you live in hotter climates like the Sonoran desert like I do in Tucson, AZ, be sure to limit your exposure to the sun so that it doesn’t exceed healthful levels. We all need a sure amount of sun light to both receive nutrients from the sun and to well… just feel alive and take pleasure in the sun shine on our face, but over exposure to the sun may have averse effects as well. Live well!
