THREE MEDITATIONS MEDITATIONS FOR SELF-DISCOVERY Guided Journeys for Communicating with Your Inner Self By Shepherd Hoodwin

 

 THE GREAT MOTHER, THE PRESENCE, & GOOD RELATIONSHIP

 

THE GREAT MOTHER

Imagine that you are in the midst of a magnificent, ancient forest. The air is so alive that it almost intoxicates you. Take a deep breath. Feel the oxygen enliven every part of your body. Imagine yourself now lying down on a soft bed of leaves and pine needles. Notice the rich scent in the air and hear the awesome stillness. The earth cradles you in her arms. You feel totally loved and protected by her. You feel her heart beating beneath you in her crystalline core.

As your body rests and is rejuvenated by her healing powers, your spirit takes wing and soars above the treetops. As far as the eye can see are beautiful trees of all kinds, snowcapped mountains in the distance, and a magnificent, brilliantly clear sky. The sun energizes your spirit and gives you a gift to take back with you to the Great Mother. Spend a moment becoming aware of what that gift is.

You are now ready to visit the Mother in her most secret place. You find yourself over a lovely, green hilltop that beckons you into it. You easily pass through its surface and float down until you find yourself in the very core of the earth. You have never seen such beautiful, crystalline formations, in shades of green, yellow, blue, and white that you had not before even imagined. This is the most beautiful place that you have ever seen. Take a moment and become fully comfortable there.

You are approached by another spirit. She is the Most High Priestess of the Great Mother. Her word is the word of the Mother herself. You embrace, and as you do, you feel totally one. You present her with the gift you have brought from the sun. The Most High Priestess invites you to enjoy this gift as it is given to the Great Mother. The gift is placed upon an incandescent silver plate. It rises from the place you are and disappears, but becomes an integral part of this place. Continue to enjoy the gift and your entire experience being in the heart of the Mother.

 

THE PRESENCE

Imagine the presence of a great warmth that feels utterly nurturing, good, and peaceful. See it as the most beautiful color or colors that you can imagine. If it is multicolored, notice its design.

Feel it as having the texture or sensation of something incredibly soft, like a favorite blanket or article of clothing, the skin of a baby, or the fur of an animal.

Imagine that you can smell this presence. Perhaps it is like lilacs, a forest after it has rained, or cookies baking.

You are utterly surrounded by the color, softness, and scent of this presence. It permeates every cell of your body, enlivening it. It is healing everything that is not well in your body. It is causing every muscle to release old, static energies. The energies of your body are now flowing beautifully.

This presence is calming your mind. The "bumps" are being smoothed as if by a gentle breeze blowing over them. You know that there is an answer to every question troubling you and that you are capable of knowing it. Feel your mind unwind, becoming still.

This presence is filling your emotions with balance and richness. Every troubled feeling is embraced in this presence and made whole.

This presence now pervades your entire spirit. Everything that moves out from you and comes in to you is full of the lovely color, softness, and scent of this presence. Something deep inside of you breathes a deep sigh of relief. You are home again. This presence is you.

 

GOOD RELATIONSHIP

See everything as being white, as if you were in the midst of the fluffiest, whitest clouds imaginable.

Ask within to be in good relationship with everyone in your life. Think of a few people individually and feel yourself being in good relationship with them. Feel these relationships growing and deepening.

Ask to be in good relationship with the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth. Feel these relationships growing and deepening.

Ask to be in good relationship with yourself. Feel this relationship growing and deepening, including all aspects of yourself.

Ask to be in good relationship with the whole. Feel this ultimate relationship growing and deepening. Ask that you remain in good relationship with the whole as you return your awareness to the room.
