This information is out there for those who choose to surf. The following meditation I heard on tape in 1991 when I came into treatment. It worked for me, but others were not able to make it work for them. I have tried inner child meditations, but I had to vision at all. Today I know that my inner child was hiding, a very hurt and broken child who needs nurting in today. I had no vision of her until about four years ago and then suddenly, she was there.
CHAKRA MEDITATION
Relax, get comfortable. Take three deep breaths..
One for the Body... One for the Mind... One for the Spirit.
Inhale slowly, breathing in the white light of the universe.
Exhale slowly, releasing all the worries of the day...
Begin by envisioning a beautiful white light.. floating just above your
crown chakra. Relax as you feel this white light gently moving down
into your crown chakra.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your crown chakra through a beautiful
violet coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your third eye chakra.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your third eye chakra through a beautiful
indigo coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your throat chakra.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your throat chakra through a beautiful
blue coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your heart chakra.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your heart chakra through a beautiful
green coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your Solar Plexus.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your solar plexus through a beautiful
yellow coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your Sexual Region.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your Sacral chakra through a beautiful
orange coloured light...
Begin to feel this white light gently moving down
into your Root chakra.. Know that this light is clearing
any blocks or problems you may be having with this chakra..
See these worries leaving your root chakra through a beautiful
red coloured light...
See the energy now flowing down your legs and into the ground..
Notice that you have a continuous flow of light coming from
above your crown through your body and into Mother earth.
Relax in your balanced state, and let your mind take you
to a wonderful, peaceful place... perhaps a warm sandy beach...
Visualize yourself walking along the shore as you feel the
warmth of the sand as it touches your feet. Smell the fresh ocean
air, as you gaze out at the beautiful blue sky...
You might notice that the ocean is filled with light.. A light which has
all of the colours of a rainbow... You walk into this pool of light...
It is so refreshing as you splash this wonderful light all over your
body..... You are at peace...
Take a few moments to meet someone while you are here,
a friend or family member, or perhaps your Guardian Angel.
Have a conversation with this person, or simply relax and
enjoy the moment of tranquillity.
Now write your experience down.

Meditation is such an important part of Step Eleven and the program of recovery. This one has been a big part of mine and wanted to share it with you.

The way that is described here is good but may not right for everyone. Each has their own gift and their own "Good Orderly Direction" and while some are able to visualize, others can not. I am one of those who do not get a mental picture.
It is also to be noted, this should be done only when it is good for you. If you are less than healthy yourself, you are not a clear channel and you are more likely to cloud any energy or send some of your own negative stuff along with the good.
Be careful about what you are open to receiving and sending. This is a lesson I learned the hard way. I wanted to fix the world, but it is not my responsibility, and I have learned that I can't help those who are not willing to help themselves. If I take on something that is not mine to take on, or give when it isn't asked for, then I am the one who gets sick.
There is no bad energy, just energy that is not good for you in the moment.
