Muslim Meditation

This meditation helps kids wind down beginning with a simple breathing exercise. Kids will then use their imagination to envision a shimmering light entering their body, the light on An-Noor, the Ultimate Source of Light. By the end of the practice, the child is feeling calm and relaxed carrying the light of An-Nur in their heart.

The intention behind this meditation is to transform your state of being into one of pure joy and bliss as you delve into the ocean of Infinite kindness and beauty, of the Divine Name of God - Ar-Rahmaan, the most Gracious, the most Merciful, the One who brings blessings, the Compassionate.

Ar-Rahmaan is the first among the 99 beautiful Names of God. This Name manifests the qualities of love, generosity, mercy and compassion in a human being. The energy of this name is so powerful that through its repetition, you feel a Divine Embrace of mercy and pure love.

Ar-Rahmaan dissolves separation from which low vibrational emotions such as doubt, fear, despair, shame, and guilt emanate. The utterance of this Name brings Joy, contentment, hope and a feeling of unity with and mercy towards others.

This Islamic Meditation is designed to created sacred stillness to connect to the Divine through the Names of Allah, moving towards transformation and transcending the form, for a form-focused life towards a more focused one.

Let yourself go in the sounds of Allah Hu, Let the divine names envelope you so you can feel the reservoir of calm and peace hat is always within you. Find yourself and you'll find your Lord.

Begin your day with gratitude, positive thoughts and energy with these affirmations. Starting with "Alhamdulillah" which means All-Praise belongs to God, an Arabic phrase expressing gratitude for the unlimited blessings bestowed upon us by the Creator. Gratitude helps shift our focus on the the bounties of God, and helps bring us into a state of alignment with our true self.

This Meditation begins with the first chapter in the Holy Quran, Al-Fateha, in Arabic. Al-Fateha means "The Opener", containing seven verses, which translate to:
In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.
The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.
You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.
Guide us on the straight path,
the path of those who have received your grace;
not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.
Amen.
The aim of this meditation is to guide you out of over-thinking into a state presence. It starts by bringing your awareness to your breath, and with continuous practice, into a state of surrender. Towards the end, you are guided to meditate on the 56th Healing Attribute of Allah, Al-Hameed, the All-praiseworthy, providing a brief description of the Divine Name. Feel free to continue repeating the name, and reflecting on how He is the All-Praiseworthy and what you are grateful to Him for.
