Welcome to this guided meditation on embracing the changes of menopause through the wisdom of ancient goddess imagery.
Menopause is a transformative phase and by connecting with the attributes of powerful goddesses,
We can find strength,
Self-love and self-compassion during this time of change.
So let us embark on this journey to embody the essence of ancient goddesses and gain the power to navigate menopause with grace and strength.
Please take a moment to find a comfortable position.
Close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply.
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a tranquil lake,
Surrounded by lush greenery.
The water before you reflects the colors of the sky,
Shimmering with the energy of the universe.
As you stand there,
Visualize a radiant moon rising in the night sky.
This moon represents the divine feminine and the wisdom of the ancient goddesses.
Feel its gentle light wash over you,
Filling you with a sense of serenity and connection to the sacred feminine.
Now imagine the presence of three powerful goddesses standing before you.
Each one embodies specific attributes that will support you on your journey through menopause.
The first goddess that steps forward is Athena.
She's the goddess of wisdom and strength.
Athena stands tall with a gleaming shield in one hand and a wise owl perched on her shoulder.
She represents the wisdom that comes with experience and the strength to face the challenges head on.
Feel her energy merging with yours,
Empowering you with the ability to make informed decisions and embrace the changes with courage.
The second powerful goddess that steps forward is Aphrodite.
She is the goddess of love and self-compassion.
Aphrodite emanates an aura of love and beauty.
She holds a mirror that reflects your true essence and a seashell symbolizing the birth of new life.
Embrace her loving presence,
Allowing yourself to see your inner beauty and practice self-compassion during moments of vulnerability or doubt.
The third goddess that presents herself to you is Kali.
She is the goddess of transformation and empowerment.
Kali stands there with her fierce expression and her many arms hold the tools to destroy the old and create space for new beginnings.
Embrace her fearlessness and the power to shed old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you during this phase of life.
As you embody the attributes of these goddesses,
Feel their energy merging with you.
You are now infused with the wisdom,
Love,
And empowerment they represent.
Next,
Visualize a sacred temple at the heart of the forest with ancient writings and symbols adorning its walls.
This temple represents the repository of knowledge and teachings passed down through generations of women.
Approach the temple and watch its doors open wide to welcome you.
As you step inside the temple,
You find yourself standing in a grand hallway.
At the center,
A glowing figure stands tall.
She is the great mother goddess.
The embodiment of divine femininity.
And she is the source of all creation.
Approach her with reverence and an open heart.
The great mother goddess smiles warmly at you and her voice echoes through your soul as she says this.
My dear child,
You have come seeking guidance as you embrace the changes of menopause.
Know that you are not alone on this journey.
Just as the cycles of the moon and seasons change,
So too do you.
Embrace the ebb and flow of life for it is through change that you grow and evolve.
During this transformative phase,
Call upon the attributes of the goddesses.
Athena's wisdom to make decisions,
Aphrodite's love to nurture yourself,
And Kali's empowerment to let go of the old and embrace the new.
Trust in your strength.
Trust in your resilience.
For you carry within you the wisdom of countless generations of women who have navigated this path before you.
Remember,
My child,
That menopause is not an end,
But a new beginning.
Embrace this chapter with curiosity and a sense of adventure.
Let go of expectations and embrace the unfolding of your true self.
Practice self-love and self-compassion.
Be gentle with yourself during moments of vulnerability.
Embrace your femininity for it is your source of power and grace.
Embrace the changes with an open heart for they are the keys that will unlock the wisdom and potential that lie within you.
You are a vessel of divine feminine energy,
And the world needs your unique light.
As you absorb the teachings of the great mother goddess,
Feel a profound sense of peace and understanding wash over you.
You carry her wisdom within you as you continue on your path.
Now bring your hands to your heart center,
Feeling the energy of the goddesses and the great mother goddess within you.
Take a moment to express gratitude for their guidance and support.
As we begin to conclude this meditation,
Know that you can return to the temple and the presence of these goddesses whenever you need their strength and wisdom.
Call on them.
They will be there for you.
Take a final deep breath in,
Exhale fully,
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Carrying the essence of the goddesses with you as you embrace the changes of menopause with grace,
With strength,
And with self love.
