My Spiritist Meditation Protocol

Developed from over a decade of teaching meditation in the Spiritist tradition, this protocol guides facilitators through every stage — from room preparation and opening prayers to a structured closing process and 1:1 support for participants who need extra time.(3 min read).

I have been teaching meditation in the Spiritist (Kardecist) tradition I learned in Brasil, since 2010. This has included leading and supporting facilitators of large meditation groups in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

In this post, which is intended for meditation teachers, I have distilled the protocols I follow in my meditation practice in group and treatment settings.

MEDITATION PROTOCOL

Core posture (for all contexts: personal practice, groups, and healing sessions)

  1. Settle the body into complete stillness as naturally as possible.
  2. Open with prayer (invoking divine help and good spirits). Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, Prayer of Caritas.
  3. Invoke good assistance while holding a Spiritist posture: the work is done by good spirits in accordance with divine will and the intentions of the person being helped.
  4. Ask to be an instrument, including asking for assistance so the work can proceed without me presuming control or claiming credit.
  5. Align attention and receptivity through silent inner regulation, especially breath, concentration, and heart-centre presence.
  6. Maintain non-attachment to outcomes: healing may be subtle, unfold over time, or respect the soul’s growth path.

Participation method (group meditation, eyes closed)

  1. Eyes remain closed for the whole time as instructed (including during the period when people approach/“file past” to see the medium).
  2. Silent prayer when asked by the facilitator.
  3. When asked by the facilitator, focus on lifting concentration/vibration and channeling energy toward good spirits to support the group’s cleansing and preparation.
  4. When the facilitator is silent (most of the time), regulate your own attention and inner state so you stay steady, present, and receptive.
  5. Follow cue changes (music and timing changes) by subtly adjusting concentration rather than forcing experiences.
  6. Remain in a servant/channel posture: steady stillness, charity, and receptivity.

Participation method (private healing sessions, eyes closed)

  1. Keep the same underlying method as your personal practice (settle, pray, invoke good spirits, align and regulate).
  2. Ask for divine help and request that you be an instrument of assistance for the good of the person, in accordance with divine will.
  3. Because the client is in another room: do the work quietly and inwardly, without needing the client to know what you’re doing.
  4. If you intuit something relevant, pray for spirit assistance when appropriate, but do not presume outcomes or replace the client’s own path.

Closing protocol (group closure and private healing closure)

  1. Re-invoke good spirits to complete cleansing of the group environment and of the participants—removing dense energies “in us, on us, and around us”—and to help disincarnates move on from the earth plane (as appropriate to the facilitator’s method).
  2. Use high-vibration prayers and music to support the cleansing.
  3. When cleansing is completed, contract your aura close to your physical body.
  4. Bring attention fully back to physical embodiment: feel the feet on the floor, the body in the seat, and intend full presence.
  5. Close with prayers of gratitude, including the Lord’s Prayer and Hail Mary.

Immediate post-session transition (stillness to full presence)

  1. Keep eyes closed for a few minutes after closing.
  2. Open eyes only when ready.

Support for someone who does not complete closure (rare)

  1. “[Name], the meditation is now concluded. It is time for you to return back into your body and the earth plane.”
  2. Repeat the completion steps (have them nod to confirm understanding, repeating until nod is received):
    • eyes closed briefly
    • return attention to physical sensations/body
  1. Guide them to a prayer of gratitude.
  2. Reassure them: the work may continue very subtly for some time, but it is safe to return.
  3. Provide your cue (e.g., “When I snap my fingers you can safely open your eyes”), and get a nod confirmation.

Integration protocol (after the session)

  1. Discourage problem reactivation: people should not think/talk as if they have re-created the problem they asked to be released.
  2. Discourage excessive social chit-chat immediately after, because people integrate at different rates and in different ways (while allowing brief, gentle conversation if someone chooses to).
  3. Encourage quiet grounding, depending on person/time/location—walking in silence by the beach or in the sun when appropriate.
  4. Provide water after the session as part of the support, offered as magnetised by the spirits during the meditation.

Private healing integration (client-guided closing, brief)

  1. After the client receives treatment, have them sit in front of you.
  2. Lead a brief (about 2 minutes) guided meditation to connect and close.
  3. Use this step to check safety and completion (they are returned to stable presence).

Prayer vs meditation (how they fit together in this method)

Meditation: regulates receptivity—stillness, breath, concentration, heart-centre awareness, and (when asked) channeling focus—while maintaining non-attachment to outcomes.

Prayer: sets intention, invites divine help and good spirits, and opens the work in a devotional posture.
