Meditation I (Simple Version)

1. Link up with the overlighting source of power, love and light in your life and then imagine an enormous vortex or funnel of light, love and spiritual purpose coming down from above. The source of this light is all those spiritual beings who are concerned with world affairs from the inner side and are assisting with their blessings of love and light to help create and hold open this vortex.
   
   This vortex or funnel is anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, located between the coasts of Oman and Iran, going all the way down into the center of the earth.  See this column broad enough that it includes both Oman and Iran.

2. Then from this vortex see energies flowing in a circle:

From the vortex to Tehran, Iran,

to Damascus, Syria,

to Tel Aviv, Israel,

to Jerusalem, Israel,

to Cairo, Egypt,

to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,

to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 

to Dubai, United Arab Emirates,

back to the Vortex in the Strait of Hormuz.

3. Then see the energy flowing up and down the vortex, flowing out to the eight cities, and the people in them, filling them with an energy of pure, clear light. Imagine all negative energies such as hatred, anger and fear being transformed and replaced by positive energies of love and goodwill.

4. See the energies flowing to the bodies, hearts and minds of individuals and groups working for positive change, whether within or outside of governments, including peace negotiations, conflict resolution and bridge building efforts, or interreligious initiatives.

5. See the whole region bathed in light. Hold this visualization for 5 minutes.

6. Close with a prayer or a chant that comes from your spiritual tradition, or use the one provided below. Give thanks to all beings on all levels who are participating in this united, joyful work.

Meditation II (In Depth Version)
 

   For those who are more familiar with inner, meditative work, we offer this more in depth meditation that uses triangles to distribute the energy from the vortex into the region as follows:

1. Link up with the overlighting source of power, love and light in your life and then imagine an enormous vortex or funnel of light, love and spiritual purpose coming down from above. The source of this light is all those beings who are concerned with world affairs from the inner side and are assisting with their blessings of love and light to help create and hold open this vortex.
   
   This vortex or funnel is anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, located between the coasts of Oman and Iran, going all the way down into the center of the earth.  See this funnel broad enough that it includes both Oman and Iran.

2. Then visualize the energies from the vortex circulating through 5 triangles in order:

• The Strait of Hormuz, SW to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and NW to Jerusalem, Israel (Triangle 1)
   
• The Strait of Hormuz, N to Tehran, Iran, and SE to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Triangle 2)
   
• The Strait of Hormuz, SW to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and NW to Damascus, Syria (Triangle 3)
   
• The Strait of Hormuz, W to Cairo, Egypt and NE to Tel Aviv, Israel (Triangle 4)
   
• The Strait of Hormuz, NW to Damascus, Syria and SW toTel Aviv, Israel (Triangle 5)
   

(See below for maps and diagrams of the triangles.)
