Please prepare your space for mirror meditation.
You will need a large mirror,
Dim lighting,
A quiet place to sit in front of the mirror comfortably.
Let's begin.
Engage with your own eyes.
Let your gaze be soft and take in the periphery.
Become aware of the outline of your physical body in space.
Notice if that line is stable and definitive,
Or if perhaps there are places where the borders of your body merge with the space around you,
Wavering in and out.
You may also see shadows or lights or colors encircling your body.
Your image may even disappear entirely.
Notice the shifting of shadow and light.
Let the images dance and play in front of your vision,
Neither attaching to nor being averse to whatever may appear.
Just absorb.
Remember,
There's nothing to fear in the mirror.
Everything you see is a reflection of yourself in one form or another.
Now let us begin to call in the masters,
Ascended beings,
Self-realized sages and saints,
Lineage holders of wisdom.
Call them in with your intention.
Call them in with your intent.
Notice what you see before you.
Shifting faces or shapes.
Beings of different ages and cultures.
Men and women.
Wise ones.
Notice that you may see the same face appearing and then disappearing throughout this meditation.
Or the faces may continue to change.
Or one face may be prominent among many.
Be curious about the energy that these presences hold for you.
What's the message?
Feel not just a connection to their wisdom.
To their knowing.
To their body,
That field.
Keep the mind clear of personal thoughts.
Clear like a vast blue sky without a cloud in sight.
Don't grasp at answers,
Just be present.
Be present with these changing faces.
Notice the features that you see.
Or facial hair appears or other characteristics appear before you.
Keep your belly soft as you breathe.
Slowly and deeply.
Feel the love of these elders and wisdom keepers.
Feel the grace of these enlightened beings.
Their grace flows within your cells and all around you.
Take note of costumes that you may see.
Keep your vision soft like the breath.
And then request.
Request for one special guide.
One beloved master or guru who has loved you for all ways to appear before you.
Feel that presence,
That energy,
And that love.
Breathe deeply.
And it's okay if this image comes and goes or is unclear.
Reconnect.
Or let it shift and change into another presence,
Another being.
Who loves and cares for you and wants to instill in you all that wisdom they carry.
Or maybe it's someone who wishes to bestow upon you a sweet grace,
A gift,
A comfort.
Maybe it's simply a being who desires to be with you,
If only for a moment.
To let you know that you are so much more than you believe or think yourself to be.
If there is a teacher or guru of some kind who you work with on a regular basis or who inspires you,
You may call them in now.
Stay present with the light and shadow and be open.
Don't try to make anything appear.
Just stay very present,
Open.
You may see nothing at all.
The entire image before you might fade.
You might see something very strange.
It's all perfect.
Just look,
Just receive.
We're working here with the energy of great beings,
Wise and powerful beings.
Holy beings,
Benevolent beings.
You never know what will show up,
What beautiful and unexpected thing might appear before you.
Be grateful.
Be grateful for whatever you feel,
Whatever you see,
Whatever you notice.
And practice.
Because with that practice will come more mastery,
Deeper experiences.
Be patient and trust the process.
Now,
You may continue to sit in the silence with this reflection and intention.
And when you're ready to close,
Be sure to give thanks and gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon you.
Bow to yourself and to your reflection.
Close your eyes.
Be centered and still within yourself and you may open your eyes.
That ends this meditation.
