It facilitates healing and gives us a chance to see clearly. This series, Meditate While You Medicate, will focus on different meditation techniques that can be performed in conjunction with heady indica strains. Practice daily for clarity, focus, peace and enlightenment.

Awareness meditation allows us to become more in tune with our own minds, bodies and the sensations we are experiencing. Follow this simple exercise to get back in touch with your own being. If you have a meditation partner, try taking turns reading the instructions below, softly and slowly to one another.

  1. Create a comfortable setting in a quiet space, with a comfortable spot to rest. Before you begin, smoke or vape some Purple OG, a stimulating indica with an intense head and body sensation. Once comfortably stoned, lay flat on your back. Arms rest at your sides, palms up, fingers relaxed. Feet fall outwards, and let your whole form sink into the ground. Focus on breathing. Deep, slow breaths in and out.
  2. As you rest, let the day fade away. Put aside thoughts of current responsibilities, obligations or future tasks. Bring yourself to full awareness of this present moment. Really begin to hone in on your breathing, feel your chest and belly slowly rise and fall as you inhale and exhale. Continue to breathe slowly and evenly.
  3. After letting go of abstract thoughts, begin to bring your focus on your body and the physical sensations you are feeling. Imagine you can feel the energy alive in your form, and search for that sensation. Can you feel your heartbeat? Can you feel a pulsing sensation anywhere in your form? Do your fingertips tingle? Are there other places where you feel a tingly sensation? Search for the spots on your body that are alive with energy. As you do so, focus on relaxing and allowing the energy to flow freely.
  4. Then, begin to search for places holding tension, pain or negative energy. Is there a spot that feels heavy? Is there a place that feels tight? Are you holding anxiety or tension anywhere? Allow that space to soften and visualize the energy in your form washing through that spot and opening up the channel, cleansing the negative energy away.
  5. Finally, let your mind rest as you focus on simply feeling the sensation of being a living being composed of energy. Remember to breathe, and stay in this head space for 10-15 minutes, or as long as is comfortable.

When finished, slowly open eyes and smile.
