Meditation – Elemental Female

Relax and clear your mind.  Make your mind a blank screen.  See nothing but white, soft, flowing cotton sheets.  Imagine one of these clean white sheets on a clothesline gently flapping in the wind.  It moves towards you and away . . .  towards you and away.  And as you are watching the sheet, a long line of women start walking towards you from the distance.  They are friendly, smiling; they are women that you know.  Your mother, sister, friends.  Your grandmother carrying fresh baked bread.  They are all the women in your life, all the women who have ever been important to you.  Let them pass through your mind now, one by one, watch them walk in front of the soft moving sheet like floats in a parade.  Some of them may laugh as they walk by, others might bow, perhaps a few will wave to you.  Let them express themselves in ways you have never seen.  Give them permission to be who they really are.  And as the last woman passes, you take up a ribbon that is flowing behind her.

The ribbon pulls you ever so gently in the direction of a small adobe theatre.  You enter this theatre and see a stage in front of you with deep blue velvet curtains that shimmer slightly with the glint of silver stars.  The curtains move slightly, as if they are alive, undulating softly like a wave.  The stage you are looking at is small because this performance is just for you.  You are the only person in the audience.  You find yourself sitting in a comfortable chair that accommodates your body easily.  It is just the right size and shape and is covered with plush material in your favorite color.  You can sink right down into it and feel it conform to every curve of your body. And as you settle into this most comfortable chair, you feel your anticipation rising.  You have traveled a long way to be here, your body is a little tired from the journey, but excitement runs through your veins.  The curtains begin moving now, pulling apart with a soft, swooshing noise.  They are heavy, very, very heavy and they move slowly.  Watch them part now as if being pulled by some unseen force.

As they settle softly at the sides of the stage you see a woman coming forward that you have never met.  You have never met her but she has been with you your whole life.  You know intuitively who she is because you talk to her constantly and she talks to you.  You are going to meet her now.  She is tall and vivid, with a piercing gaze that looks right at you.  And, as you watch her, the colors of her skin change, from white to yellow, brown to black.  Her hair is golden blond, then dark brown, flowing, flowing out into long black braids.  And, as you continue watching, her skin wrinkles and her hair turns gray, swept up into a beautiful bun with tendrils curling down around her neck.  Her physical form changes slowly before your eyes.  You can make her look however you want her to look.  Picture her now as the most powerful woman you have ever seen.  She has come onto the stage wearing a gown with colors that shimmer, iridescent, liquid, flowing colors – red, yellow, blue, violet.  As she raises her arms these colors undulate in waves around her, flowing out to surround you, embrace you.  Feel these colorful waves cuddle you like the sweetest, gentlest lover.  Close your eyes and rock, back and forth, cradled by her gentle rhythm.

The woman before you now is the earth, air and moon, she is the night and the sun scorching the desert sand, she is the water flowing everywhere.  Ride her current and watch the eagle, tiger, cobra, wolf bitch, defending, feeding, loving her own.

See her rise, rise, higher, brighter.  She is now you, she is you, and everywhere you look you see other female faces, you see the elemental female force pulsating through the ether, feel it in the blood running through your veins – spreading love, courage, anger, passion, hope.  This force unleashes the truth within you, the latent goddess, the sleeping queen.  Feel on the deepest, cellular level your elemental female self, feel it in the atoms vibrating in your body, ever renewed and recharged through her primal force.

See this beautiful, powerful woman standing beside you now as the one who is all that is, listening, caring, nurturing.  Feel the warmth of her presence, tell her your secrets, release your pain.  She can absorb and transform, she takes your gifts and gives them back, magnified, infused with power.

See now, the woman you truly are, see the woman potential in you as the force that will change the world.  Envision this now.  See yourself as her, as every woman, everywhere.  Let her help you find your deepest passion, your greatest hope, your gift to the world.  And know that once it is found, that it will vibrate always with her benevolent force.  She will help you manifest it, to nurture and protect it.

Watch the woman you have imagined walk towards you now holding out her arms, smiling and shining.  And as she walks closer and closer you feel her entering through your skin and settling softly into the private place you have saved for her in the warmest part of your heart.  She will nest there now and you will care for her as she has cared for you.  She is the seed, the egg, the ovary, the womb – the female force that brings forth life.  Give birth to your gift now, give birth to all that has been waiting for her to appear.  And know that it will be good.

Imagine the stage in front of you now, fading back to white.  The deep, blue curtains are coming to a close.  And as the two sides meet there is a soft whisper.  You open your eyes and slowly move out of the chair.  The journey begins again, but this time you are really going home, home to where you came from, home to where you truly belong.

Take the first step on this journey now.
