Welcome to this meditation.
Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Allowing your body to fully relax into the support beneath you.
Let your spine soften,
Your shoulders release and your face gently relax.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in,
Feeling your lungs expand and as you exhale,
Feel any tension melting away,
Leaving you feeling grounded and present.
Imagine a soft,
Silver light from the moon above,
Pouring down upon you like a gentle waterfall.
This light begins to cradle you,
Calming and cooling every part of you.
Let it wash over your forehead,
Releasing any tightness and flow down through your chest and heart,
Soothing and opening you to peace.
This moonlight carries the essence of your inner goddess,
A presence that knows both power and gentleness,
Both focus and flow.
She is the embodiment of balance,
A union of strength and grace.
Within her,
The masculine and feminine energies live in harmony,
Each supporting and enriching the other.
Let yourself breathe in this balanced energy,
Feeling it connect deeply with the true essence of who you are.
I invite you now to take a moment to set an intention for this time we're going to share together.
Perhaps there is a question you carry,
Or a quality you wish to embrace more fully,
Or perhaps you wish to connect with your inner goddess,
Feeling the fullness of her wisdom and balance.
Allow your intention to rise naturally,
Resting within you like a warm,
Quiet glow.
Now imagine yourself standing at the edge of an ancient forest,
Bathed in moonlight.
The trees around you are tall and timeless,
Their branches stretching towards the night sky as though reaching for the silver moon's touch.
Feel the coolness of the air that wraps around you,
Fresh and grounding,
Carrying the earthy scent of damp leaves and pine needles.
There is a sense of mystery in the air,
A gentle invitation to step forward into the sanctuary.
As you begin to walk along the forest path,
Feel both the strength and gentleness in each step.
Notice how the ground is firm beneath you,
Supporting you,
As the moonlight filters down through the branches,
Illuminating your way.
This journey is not just through the forest,
But into the very heart of your inner self,
Guided by both the strength of your steps and the openness of your heart.
Eventually you arrive at a clearing,
Where an ancient stone temple stands open and inviting.
The temple feels sacred,
As if it has witnessed countless souls seeking wisdom and peace.
As you enter,
You sense the warm,
Timeless presence of your inner goddess,
She is strong yet soft,
Knowing yet gentle.
She embodies both focus and flow and as you step into her presence,
You feel her strength within you,
Ready to guide you towards balance.
At the centre of the temple,
You find an ancient,
Beautiful crafted pool.
This sacred vessel holds clear,
Still water and upon its surface the moon is perfectly reflected,
Creating an image of soft,
Radiant light that seems to reach into the depths of your soul.
This water is a mirror,
Revealing not only the light of the moon but also the wisdom within you.
Approach the water and feel its stillness.
It is as though time has stopped,
Allowing you to connect deeply with this quiet power of this place.
Gently dip the tip of your finger into the water's surface,
Sending a ripple across to the moon's reflection.
As the ripple expands outward,
Silently ask your first question,
What qualities within me need to shine more brightly in my life?
Perhaps this is a quality of courage or tenderness or a creative expression.
Allow this question to travel with the ripple towards the moon's light.
Wait,
Feeling the sacred stillness as the water holds your question.
Then watch as the ripples return,
Carrying her answer back to you.
Open yourself to any feelings,
Images or words that may arise.
The goddess within you may reveal qualities that embrace both the masculine and the feminine sides of yourself,
Showing you how to embody your full self.
Trust whatever answers emerge.
Letting her wisdom gently guide you.
Now let her guidance settle,
And when you feel ready,
Gently dip your finger into the water again,
Sending another ripple outward.
This time,
Silently ask,
How can I better honor and balance the feminine and masculine energies within me?
Imagine the ripple as a bridge,
Traveling toward the moon's reflection,
And carrying your question to the goddess within.
Feel her presence,
Steady and nurturing,
Holding both your energy and gentleness,
Both your action and stillness.
Each energy has its place,
And together,
They make you whole.
In this balance embrace,
The inner goddess teaches you that harmony is the key to happiness.
In this balance embrace,
The inner goddess teaches you that harmony within leads to harmony with others.
As the ripples return,
Open your heart and mind to her guidance.
Perhaps she shows you that balancing action with quiet reflection brings a deeper sense of purpose.
Maybe she reminds you to honor both your drive to achieve,
And your need for rest and renewal.
Embrace her wisdom,
Trusting that every insight brings you closer to a sense of completeness and success.
With gratitude,
Take a moment to feel her answers gently resonate with you.
And when you're ready,
Dip your finger into the water again,
Creating a ripple that travels once again towards the moon.
Then when you're ready,
Silently ask,
How can I nurture my inner goddess in my relationships with others?
Watch as the ripples move across the water,
Reaching the moon's reflection,
And carrying your question to her.
As you wait,
Sense her wisdom guiding you to a balanced approach in your relationships.
She might reveal that nurturing your inner goddess means honoring your need for self-care and respecting the boundaries of others.
Or she may guide you to listen deeply,
Balancing the need to give with the grace to receive.
As the ripples return,
Embrace any impressions or sensations that arise.
Feel the inner goddess empowering you to approach relationships with both love and integrity.
With both empathy and strength.
In this balance,
She teaches you to nurture not only others,
But also the beautiful harmony within yourself.
Breathe in this unity,
Feeling the light of your inner goddess aligning with all parts of yourself.
You are strong and compassionate,
Focused and free-flowing.
This is your inner goddess in her fullness.
A unified,
Empowered self.
If there is anything else on your heart,
Anything else you feel the need to ask,
Then take this time to gently touch the water once more.
Sending a final ripple towards the moon's reflection.
Feel the stillness of the temple around you,
Open and ready to receive any remaining questions.
I'm going to leave you for a little while to ask your final questions to your inner goddess.
As you do,
I'll watch the time for you,
And when it's time to come back,
You'll hear the gentle sound of a bell to start to call you back to the present.
I invite you now to slowly bring your awareness back.
Feel a sense of gratitude for the answers,
Guidance and peace you've received.
With a heart full of thanks,
Slowly begin to leave the temple,
Carrying the light and wisdom of your inner goddess with you.
As you walk back through the forest,
Each step gently grounds you,
Bringing you the harmony and balance of your inner self into the here and now.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Let yourself become more aware of your body,
The space around you,
And the rhythm of your natural breath.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying the clarity,
Balance and strength of your inner goddess with you into the rest of your day.
Namaste.
