To begin this meditation,
Take a comfortable seat or lie down.
You may close your eyes or leave them open,
Relaxing your gaze.
Breathe and relax.
Find yourself on the edge of a soft meadow at dusk.
The landscape before you is peaceful,
Welcoming,
And just what your heart,
Body,
And soul need in this moment.
Take a deep breath as you inhale the fragrant and cool evening air,
And let it out with a sigh.
Notice what the earth feels like under your feet.
As you start to walk into the meadow,
Feel a few dew drops brushing against your skin.
Find a comfortable place for you to rest within this meadow for the duration of this guided meditation.
As you settle into wherever you're resting,
Notice the twinkling of the first visible stars in the sky.
Allow yourself to rest more deeply in this landscape,
And then turn your attention to the light of the stars and the blue-black dusk overhead.
The earth is welcoming your body,
While the vault of the heavens is a sacred womb,
Encircling your whole self.
Breathe and relax as the meditation on Libra now proceeds.
Continue to hold the image of yourself resting in the meadow in your mind's eye.
Feel your body relax as you drop more deeply into the safety of this place.
Cast your inner gaze around this landscape.
What else do you notice?
Allow yourself to take in this landscape with all of your extrasensory perception.
Gradually you begin to notice a light appearing in the distance.
Welcome this light to move gently toward you.
As this light reaches you,
A golden,
Egg-shaped bubble appears before you.
The energy and sense you get of this bubble is familiar,
Loving,
And brilliant.
Spend some time breathing and communing with this golden light.
Notice what emotions,
Sensations,
Memories,
And knowings arise in you.
It is completely safe to merge with this golden light if you wish.
It fills all the cells of your being,
Offering healing and completing the missing parts of yourself.
You are deeply relaxed and satisfied.
You can inhale deeply and let it out with an ah.
When you're ready,
Allow this golden light to slowly separate from your being.
See and feel this light facing you.
You are still taking in its radiance,
Its warmth,
Its familiarity.
Suddenly you realize that you have something to offer to this light.
Allow an object,
An energy,
A quality or feeling to emerge from your heart and to be given to and absorbed by the golden light.
As the light absorbs and assimilates your gift,
It becomes even more brilliant,
Warm,
And familiar.
Now,
If you wish,
You may infuse this golden light with the sound of Aum.
You can chant Aum,
You can listen for the sound of Aum in your inner ear,
Or you can imagine an Aum flowing from your heart into the egg of golden light.
After the sound of Aum fades away,
Allow this golden light to slowly disappear from your inner vision.
It can recede through the landscape of the meadow or just merge into the atmosphere.
Come back to wherever you are resting in space in this moment.
Slowly,
In your own time,
Start to gently move your body.
When you're ready,
Blink your eyes open and return to your waking consciousness.
Slowly,
In your own time,
Start to move your body.
When you're ready,
Blink your eyes open and return to your waking consciousness.
