Accompanied by a pleasant relaxing new age music, Frederick Dodson offers this guided meditation called “Fire of Love” on his website http://www.realitycreation.net/.
The guided meditation starts with a series of instruction to cleanse your body through a yogic breathing exercise. Once it is done you are asked to focus on someone from your life on the same time you have to repeat a series of affirmations such as “Just like me this person as experienced bad time”. They are other affirmations to repeat. I believe the intention is to establish some link that help you to recognize that as a human being, we are all one and we go through various challenge in life that help us to know better about ourselves. The result of such process is a feeling of compassion for yourself and the other person.
Once you finish the process, you are guided to repeat it with several other persons, one after the other. If you have done it correctly then the effect will be cumulative allowing you to feel greater compassion.
In the next segment of the guided meditation, you are guided to forgive yourself or to put it in another way to accept yourself the way you presently are.
Instead of being angry at yourself for some BIG mistake you made in the past, recognize how this event helped in learning something about you that you would not have known otherwise , you can love yourself even if you make mistakes. That’s the idea.
On the next segment, Frederick Dodson guides you to experience again some of your pleasant memories that brought you joy, love and happiness. According to Dodson the past doesn’t exist when you bring back something from your memory to your mind, you start to attract this thing back to your life. Memories are created in the now, because the now , the present is all there is. If you are negatively affected by a traumatic memory from your past , which is really something that you are creating now then you can CHOOSE to bring to your awareness a positive memory that will positively affect you. That’s the idea.

Once you feel the love , the compassion , the joy inside you, Dodson guides you to feel even more love by CHOOSING and ALLOWING yourself to feel more love. As closing instructions, you are asked to bring this love, compassion and joy in your daily life and to offer it to the people you meet.

Even though, in my own Love Meditation, I work more with energies (visualizing light, chanting mantras)This guided meditation by Dodson is working very well for me and will work for many personality types. I recommend the Dodson Fire of Love if you like guided meditation or if what Klaus Joehle (energy sending approach) offered isn’t working for you.
