Micro Meditation

How to do a micro meditation using the Word4me daily messages

The benefits of meditation are well known. It can release stress and other negative emotions and fill you with joy, strength and hope. It is useful for maintaining emotional and spiritual health. As you know, meditation is more effective when you do it in the morning.

Some Bible verses are so beautiful and empowering. Meditate on them, instead of just reading. Planting a seed is different from throwing a seed on to a ground. The results will be different. Similarly, the result you get by meditating a verse is drastically different from just reading it.

Daily Word4me has a structure that helps you to do micro meditation. The structure can be used to trigger empowering emotions.

When you go through the Word of the day, see if you can trigger thoughts such as the following:

Good Morning: Imagine the ‘Good Morning’ is coming from Jesus. Feel the presence of Jesus. Greet Jesus with a smile and a warm Good Morning.

Jesus hugging you: Imagine Jesus hugging you, showing his affection. He is blessing you and you are receiving all the blessings for the day. You experience a flow of energy in your body & mind. It is like recharging a mobile phone; the energy will last for the entire day.

Lord, I trust in your promises: Affirm this, to condition your mind to receive the blessings hidden in the Word.

The Word of the day: Read the verse a few times until you get some insights or inspirations. Feel the associated emotion in your body. For example, refer the above picture. You may be facing a challenge now. Feel in your body the strength, power and confidence that the Holy Spirit gives you with which you are able to address that challenge. Visualize victory.

Also read the English version; sometimes that could be more contemporary and simpler in style.

One Word/insight can change the direction of your life; so be curious. You may ask the following questions:

• What does this verse tell me? What is the promise of God here?
• Is there an instance in my life, where this verse worked for me?
• How is it relevant for me now? In what situations or areas of life?

If the verse is touching your heart, record this in a journal or diary; try to memorize it. If the verse is a ‘promise of God’, claim it as you own; believe, it is going to happen in your life. If the verse is a ‘life tip’, see how you can apply it in your life in various situations. You may pray for the blessings embedded in the verse.

The picture: The picture helps in visualizing the promise of God.

The blessing: Receive the one-line blessing as if it is coming from the Holy Spirit – normally it is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit (joy, love, peace, ..). Let that emotion/blessing last for a day. As the day progresses, you may also recall the verse and the blessing several times in a day.

Tip: Don’t be in a hurry. Take Word4me as if you sip your morning coffee in an exotic place – slowly and fully enjoying every drop – feel the refreshing energy. Practice meditating Word of God in this way for a few days and see if it works for you.
