Guided Imagery Meditation: 23rd Psalm

The 23rd Psalm may be the most prayed of all of the Psalms. It is a source of solace and reassurance. It speaks to God’s love and protection. It is an eternal good.

I’ve recorded a 20 minute guided imagery meditation based on the 23rd Psalm, inserted below. You might want to read this prayer mindfully before starting the meditation. As with all meditations, begin by finding a quiet and safe place where you will be undisturbed. The guided meditation is immediately below the Psalm.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.  Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;,and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

And here is the guided meditation:

Peace,

Jim
