Summer Meditations Bundle

A collection of five meditations for the summer time.

‘The Sea’ is an short meditation reflecting on an image of the sea. Choose your own picture or use the one provided in the downloadable PDF.

‘The Walk in the Countryside’, is an opportunity to enter into stillness, before an imaginative exercise to let go of your cares and concerns and rest in God’s presence.

‘The Jetty’ is an imaginative exercise, to allow you to let go of the people and situations that you are currently concerned about and to rest in the stillness.

‘The Week-End Break’ is an imaginative meditation on a break in a country house. This meditation includes an awareness exercise, an opportunity to let go of your cares and concerns, and to encounter the Lord in the stillness and to be renewed and refreshed.

‘The Allotment in Summer’ begins with a short stillness exercise before an imaginative meditation, on a visit to an Allotment. It includes a short meditation on a strawberry (one whole one, and one half!) If you do not have access to strawberries you can use the images provided.

Each meditation last between 10–25 minutes, including narration, music and periods of silence.

Practicalities

Prepare:

  • Find a time and a place where you can be quiet and free from distractions.
  • Ensure your phone/mobile device is set to an option were it will not disturb you (e.g. ‘airplane mode’ or ‘off’!)
  • If there is a handout with the meditation you have selected, print it out.
  • If there is an optional song to listen to at the end of the meditation, and you would like to hear it, ensure that you have access to it.*

Play:

  • Sit in a comfortable position.
  • Press play and enter into the meditation.
  • If your mind wanders you may find it helpful to look at the photograph that goes with the meditation that you have selected.

Pause:

  • When the meditation ends you may like to listen to the optional song, if one is suggested.
  • Before you return to your activities, take a few moments to reflect on your experience of the meditation and to maybe record, in a notebook or journal, any words or pictures or verses that have come to you during this time.
  • Finally take a moment or two to be thankful for what you have received/experienced through this meditation.
