Welcome to Hester Morrissey's guided meditations.
Today's meditation is on growing with your wise woman.
So take a moment now to settle into your body.
Feel yourself become present in your body.
Noticing the sensations that are in your body right here,
Right now.
Feeling the sensations of your skin,
Your muscles,
Your bones,
Your breath.
With your next out breath,
Bring your mind's eye down to your feet.
Notice the sensation of your feet on the floor.
Notice yourself grounded and supported by the earth below you.
Then slowly with purpose,
Bring your attention up and around your feet,
Up and around your ankles,
Up and around your shins and your knees,
Up and around your thighs,
Your hips.
Take notice of your hips,
Any tightness that may reside in your hips.
Let it go.
Let your hips relax.
Bring your mind's eye to the area of your pelvis.
See in this area of your pelvis,
The shape of a bowl,
A golden colored bowl that resides in your pelvis.
Notice in this golden bowl,
A baby,
A baby version of you.
Allow this baby to rest and feel the support of this golden bowl.
Allow this baby to soak in the love and the warmth of a golden light that surrounds this bowl.
Bringing this baby sustenance and support and love.
And allow this baby to just rest inside this golden bowl within your pelvis,
Secure and safe,
Supported.
And allow your mind's eye to move up your spine,
All the way up through your neck,
All the way up to that space between the eyebrows.
Continue to allow that baby inside to just rest in the pelvic area.
Well,
Now your attention is here in the third eye chakra,
The area of wisdom,
Knowing.
Now imagine the oldest version of you that is yet vital,
An aged version of you with gray hair and wrinkles and the beauty of all the markings of experience of life within a body that has experienced a lifetime of joys,
Sorrows,
Gifts and losses,
All of which has allowed you to become wise with experience,
With growth,
With intention.
See this wise woman in you,
Beautiful,
Vital.
And allow this wise woman part of you to offer you her wisdom.
And allow this wise woman within you now to reach down with long,
Beautiful,
Graceful arms down to your heart.
And imagine her graceful arms holding your heart,
Sending love to your heart while at the same time receiving love from your heart.
Feel the embrace of this wise woman around your heart,
Allowing wisdom and love to commingle,
To reside simultaneously within you,
Letting go of fear,
Letting go of attachment,
Filling with love,
Filling with wisdom.
Now imagine this wise woman embrace,
Reaching down,
Down through your spine,
All the way down to that baby in your pelvic area and resting in the pelvic bowl,
The golden bowl.
Imagine your wise woman embracing this child within you,
Holding her,
Loving her,
Nurturing her,
And allow the child within you to accept this love,
This nurturance,
This support.
Imagine now that the child within you takes the hand of the wise woman also within you,
So that now your childlike hand is holding the wise woman's hands,
Connected by love,
Everlasting.
And now imagine this child within you growing,
Emerging,
Changing from baby to toddler,
Toddler to young child,
All the while being held by your wise woman,
Holding hands,
Feeling the support and the wisdom and the love as you grow from young childhood to early adolescence.
And all the while being held hand in hand with your wise woman.
And see yourself growing from adolescent to young adult,
And all the way to the age where you are today,
And with every growth,
Every change being held by your wise woman.
Imagine yourself now within you at the bottom of your spine.
See your spine as a ladder,
A beautiful,
Magical ladder.
Step onto the ladder,
Still holding hands with your wise woman,
And begin to climb.
And as you climb the ladder,
Continue to feel the support,
The hands of love of your wise woman,
Knowing that with every step up the ladder,
Your wise woman is there to support you in that step.
Continue to climb up the ladder,
Noticing all the things that you've experienced in life so far,
Letting go of losses,
Taking in love.
Allow the wise woman to continue to hold your hand as you climb further up the ladder,
Growing with every rung,
Growing with every commitment to step forward,
And knowing that your wise woman is carrying you up the ladder,
Every step you take holding her hand,
Noticing all of the experiences that are yet to come,
Acknowledging all of the abundance that is in your future,
Acknowledging the losses that may come as well,
Accepting both losses and gifts as part of your journey,
Your journey with and to your wise woman,
This wise woman that resides inside you always.
Continue climbing the ladder hand in hand with your wise woman until you reach the very top of your spine,
The very top of your ladder,
Finding yourself in the area of your throat chakra and with the support of your wise woman and all of the experiences that you've already had in this lifetime and that which is to come,
Open your throat,
See your throat softening and opening,
Preparing itself to share your gifts,
To express who you are.
Then imagine yourself climbing all the way up through your throat,
Now into that space between the eyebrows.
So the you that you are today is now one with the wise woman.
See that the separation between you now and this wise woman is smaller,
Less separation,
More unity.
Allow yourself to unite more and more with this wise woman,
Integrating with her wisdom,
Integrating with her love.
And now rest here with the support of your wise woman.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth,
Breathing in wisdom,
Breathing out fear,
Breathing in love,
Breathing out judgment.
Your wise woman does not fear and does not judge.
Unite with your wise woman.
One more deep breath in through the nose,
Out through the mouth,
Allowing all that you have done today to seep into your cells.
Feel the wisdom inside every cell.
Feel the love inside every cell.
And with this deep love and wisdom,
We give gratitude.
We give light to the Poets and the Service to the Self.
You you you
