Many poems can be used for meditation purposes. They can be repeated as mantras, parts used as affirmations or simply read silently or out loud when you are in the meditative state. The words can help anchor you into a meditative, healing state. The following meditation poem is one that I found on www.worldprayers.org, written by Sofie Jansson in 2012.
May I Want My Own Healing is a beautiful meditation poem that works through many of the emotions that we all feel from time to time and gradually moves to an empowering place of deep self healing, awareness, light and love.
May I Want My Own Healing
It’s okay that I don’t know where I am going
it’s okay if I don’t know where I came from
it’s okay if I don’t know where I am
it’s okay that false thoughts linger in my mind and that I cannot always rise above them or win a fight
it’s okay that I am human
it’s okay to feel fear
it’s okay to feel angry
it’s okay to feel tired
it’s okay to feel sad
it’s okay to feel despair
it’s okay to lose myself
it’s okay to fall
it’s okay to lose my mind
it’s okay to lose touch with the ground
it’s okay to doubt my existence
it’s okay to feel imperfect
it’s okay to feel weak
it’s okay to feel shame
it’s okay to feel guilt
it’s okay to feel stuck in pain
it’s okay to feel suffering
even when I choose dark, light breathes through me, truth holds me together
prayer speaks through my heart, I am still a child of earth
I am a free soul
I am never standing still
My soul moves forward
I don’t need to understand love
Love finds me, comes out of me, love is faith, faith is hope, hope is light, light fills me into every atom of my being
light is everything
I rise above all dark matter and of every event in my human life
I am not my failures, I am not my mistakes, I am not my feelings or my thoughts
I am not dark, I am not right or wrong
Light will not elude me
Light will not elude life
Light will not elude eternity
Light will not elude life
I am rooted and intertwined with all life, all life’s cycles, all complex matters, all divine wisdom
I am a being of light
May I slowly begin to detach myself from self-hatred
May I slowly begin to detach myself from self-destructiveness
May I slowly begin to detach myself from false thoughts
May I slowly begin to detach myself from defining myself out of lies
May I slowly begin to be gentle and kind with myself as I always have to those around me with ease
May I slowly begin to detach myself from my old failures
May I slowly begin to detach myself from my old beliefs
May I slowly begin to detach myself from everything that has ever hurt me in my whole life
Light does not define me by my thoughts, by my pains or by my failures
Light vibrates unconditionally
Love is not conditional
Light gives itself to me
Light breathes through me
Light never leaves
Light does not hold me responsible
Light does not judge me
May I slowly begin to detach myself from self-punishment and self-hurt
May I slowly learn forgiveness
May I not define myself out of things that happen or that happened to me
May I be open to heal
May I truly want my own healing
May I truly want truth to alter me
May I truly want truth to set me free
May I hope, May I believe, May I love, May I let my light shine
May I be vibrant and radiant
May I see the light in me not with my eyes but with my heart
May I feel compassion towards myself
May I have the knowledge and wisdom that life always unfolds as it should
May I slowly begin to detach myself from self-doubt
May I slowly begin to embrace myself with forgiveness
May I learn through life’s lessons
May my soul go where I am supposed to go
May I find in myself courage and strength to rise above all false stories about myself
May I rise
May I keep breathing
May I keep living
May I meet myself
May I be amazed
May I be in love
May I be in light
May I be in freedom
