Rituals are different from meditations. In rituals, there are precise steps to follow and they are alive with symbols and archetypal images that you don’t have to understand, only imagine with feeling.

Greetings to you.

Greetings to you.

It brings me a great joy and a great pleasure to create a full moon meditation for you.

Full moon meditation will also contain the ritual,

The spinning of the night mirrors.

So what you're going to do in this meditation,

You're going to find yourself first sitting in a safe place,

Out of doors,

Watching the moon rise.

And then as the evening comes,

You'll be leaving this place,

Walking beside a river in the night and then looking for a bridge or a way to cross the river to get to the other side.

You need to get to the other side.

And when you get to the other side,

You see a fire.

You also see a mirror behind the fire.

The mirror may be a high tech mirror or maybe a mirror that your brother might use.

Also,

The mirror will have a vertical axis or a horizontal axis.

And on this axis,

You will be asked to spin the mirror.

And at the conclusion,

You'll be also asked to step into the mirror and then read it by the ancient ones to receive the gifts of the ancients.

So where you're sitting or lying,

Begin to relax.

First of all,

Just take a deep breath in.

Relax.

Close your eyes.

Begin to relax.

Relaxing just by listening perhaps to the sound of my voice.

Perhaps you have a way of counting down or you're using colors.

Whatever method you use,

Allow yourself to begin to relax.

Just allow relaxation to flood into the bottoms of your feet.

Flooding into your toes and into the ball of the foot across the arch of the heel,

Into the ankles.

Allow the calves to relax.

Feel relaxation rolling into your kneecaps.

Your thighs relax.

Allow the pelvic area to relax.

Feel relaxation rolling into the abdominal region,

The solar plexus,

The internal organs.

Relax.

Feel the relaxation moving into your chest.

Allow the heart to slow its rhythm.

Feel the relaxation moving up into your neck,

Rolling down both shoulders,

Down your arms,

Past the elbows,

And into your hand and into your fingertips.

Feel relaxation rolling up from your neck,

Up into your head,

The back of the head,

The top of the head,

The forehead relaxes.

And you're totally,

Wonderfully relaxed.

I will count from seven to one.

And upon reaching the number one,

You're going to find yourself very,

Very relaxed.

I will count from seven to one.

And upon reaching the number one,

You'll find yourself relaxed.

I will count from seven to one,

Somewhere between the numbers of seven and one.

You're going to find yourself in an altered state of consciousness,

In a more receptive state of consciousness,

In a meditative state of consciousness.

Seven,

Six,

Five,

Four,

Four,

Four,

Three,

Two,

Two,

And one,

One,

One.

And in this state of mind,

As you're relaxing,

First of all,

You see the sky above you,

Just as sunset.

Feel your body become more present in the scene of smelling the witch earth,

Seeing perhaps you're sitting under a tree or on the grass on the side of a hill.

See the colors,

The witch earth green here in the summer,

Flowers perhaps in the meadow,

Smell the freshness of the earth,

Taste,

Taste it.

And as you breathe in,

The scene comes alive with sounds,

A nearby river,

A glorious forest of a time just before sunset known as the twilight hour.

See the colors of the sky,

Clouds,

Perhaps they begin to,

As the sun begins to sink beneath the horizon,

You see the rays of sun,

You see the pinks and the lavender in the magenta and the purples,

The orange.

It's a beautiful scene here.

And as the sun sets in the sky,

Sets up on the horizon,

As you turn,

You see the tip of the moon,

Allowing the moon to rise into the sky.

First it may be orange or pink.

See perhaps some stars,

The evening star Venus,

And the moon becomes bright and vivid.

You're sitting here,

Enjoying this great scene of beauty.

You begin to think about yourself,

Sense yourself,

Enjoying this moon,

Noticing how this year has brought you.

Sometimes tumultuous change,

Sometimes joyous change,

But you have changed,

You have grown,

You have become more,

More than you ever thought you could be,

But you know there's more growth,

More transformation,

More change upon the horizon.

And you are ready.

You're ready to dream new dreams,

Have new visions,

Abundance,

Prosperity.

It is a time to prosper.

It is a time to prosper.

I'm thinking of this,

Noticing that moon.

It's a time.

It's a time.

It's a time.

It's a time to move to the other side.

And because you look around,

You notice there's a path that may have been there all the time.

A beautiful path opens to the right of you,

Perhaps so it may be in front of you.

And the moon is bright.

You can see your path clearly in the light of the moon,

Leading your way.

Oh,

Yes,

There it is,

A river.

A river that meanders across the plains or down by the valleys.

But it's a beautiful river.

You smell the freshness of the earth,

The water,

And you see the reflection of the moon river as you walk along the river,

The banks of the river.

And you're looking for a way to the other side,

To the other side.

Now,

You may either find a bridge,

Perhaps a wire that you can look on,

Perhaps you may see a fallen tree.

Perhaps there are stones that you can see that lead to the other side of the river.

But you must make it to the other side,

To the other side.

And as you make your way to the other side,

There you see in front of you,

Perhaps you see a path.

There,

It's hidden from view for a little bit.

Walking to the path,

You see in the distance,

Appears to be some kind of flame or light.

Allow yourself to walk towards this light.

And as you're walking towards the light,

You recognize,

Oh it's a flame.

It's a beautiful flame.

It draws you in closer and closer.

And as you see the flame,

It is a bonfire.

A beautiful flame.

And all the yellows and oranges,

Perhaps a sparkle of blue and every now and then you see a purple in the flame.

You also see on the other side of the flame,

The standing mirror.

Again,

The mirror may be a high-tech mirror,

Round,

Square.

And it either has a vertical axis or a horizontal axis.

But now your vision comes back to the flame.

Notice this flame,

How beautiful it is.

Feel the warmth of the flame,

Of the fire.

And as the flame leaps and crackles,

Perhaps there is a log that shifts its place,

Sending sparks into the air.

And into this flame,

Into this fire.

You want to place into the fire all your disguises.

Disguise of I'm not good enough,

I'm not enough,

I'm not powerful enough,

I'm weak.

So that weakness into the flame.

So this sense of being a victim and a martyr.

So that into the flame.

A lot of fire to envelop you as you step into the flame yourself.

Now you're not going to get burnt up now,

But you're going to have your clothes burn.

Your bones char.

See fire is a weak force and also a strong force.

But as a weak force it consumes.

And allow it to consume all those beliefs that limit you.

The limiting images of yourself.

And in this moment,

Also let go of your visions.

The visions that you've been holding onto.

The beliefs,

However positive or negative.

Let it all go.

Just to let it go.

Let it all go.

Allow that to be consumed by the weak force of the fire.

You're now being consumed.

And step out of the fire.

And look into the mirror.

Again the mirror will have either a vertical or horizontal axis.

And allow yourself to spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

Spin it faster and faster.

Spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

Allow the mirror to slow down.

And look into the mirror.

And you'll see who you once were.

Looking into the mirror you see yourself.

So see who you were.

Perhaps you're seeing yourself in another lifetime.

You're seeing yourself perhaps in a lifetime of La Murria or Atlantis or an African or an Asian lifetime,

A Native American.

Seeing yourself who you were.

Perhaps it shifts in a whole collage of different faces.

And finally settling upon one.

Looking at yourself.

And perhaps even a lifetime you're in now.

A past image of yourself.

Either just stare.

Looking at who you once were.

Feeling what that felt like.

Now reach up and spin the mirror.

Spin it faster.

Faster and faster.

Spin it.

Spin it.

Spin it.

Spin it faster and faster.

Spinning the mirror.

Spinning the mirror.

Spinning the mirror.

And as it slows its atrophy.

Slowing down.

Right the mirror so you'll stare into it.

And you'll see who you're becoming.

A beautiful being that you are becoming.

Perhaps your future self.

Seeing how much you've changed you.

How much you're grown.

Seeing who you are becoming.

Looking into the eyes of who you are becoming.

Let them look into you and they see you.

They see themselves as who they once were.

And they see you.

And as you see who you are becoming.

Beautiful radiant powerful being that you are becoming.

Allow that energy of you seeing you.

What does it feel like?

Go into the feeling of seeing your future self.

And as your future self sees who it is.

And now reach up again.

Spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror faster and faster.

Spin it.

With both hands spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

Allow the mirror to slow down as the spin becomes slower and slower.

Right the mirror so that you're staring.

And you see now the light of your being.

However vivid or vague the colors.

The light of your being.

The geometric shape perhaps.

This is the light of your being.

How beautiful.

How beautiful you are.

Sensing your own beauty.

The light of your being radiates to you from the mirror.

The light of your being.

With trembling hands you reach up and spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

Spin the mirror.

And as the mirror slows and rights itself.

You step into the mirror.

Step in to between time and space.

In between time and space.

And you notice them in a distance.

Ancient ones.

Grandmothers and grandfathers of your tradition.

Ancient ones.

Perhaps out of Sirius.

Perhaps out of Atlantis.

Egypt.

Mayans.

South American cultures.

Aztecs.

Aboriginals.

Perhaps they are beings from your current lifetime.

The grandfathers.

The grandmothers who has passed on of your tradition.

Ancient ones.

And this place of great beauty is so beautiful here as well as you notice now.

How different it is from where you've come.

It is a wondrous place of beauty.

And the one comes to you.

An ancient one.

First they embrace you.

You feel the softness of their skin.

The old ancient skin.

You feel the warmth of their being.

And you feel their love for you.

Oh they love you so much dear one.

All that love to envelop you as you feel this embrace of softness and the strength and the wonder of it all.

And this first one places its head upon.

.

.

Its forehead upon your forehead.

And as your brow touches it fills you with greater consciousness.

The awareness of a self that is changing and growing.

That all the things you have done to change yourself.

All the things you have done.

The meditations.

The yoga.

The Tai Chi.

Whatever you have done.

It has now filled you with greater consciousness.

Greater consciousness.

And another one comes.

As this one releases you another one comes.

Another ancient one.

They embrace you as well.

You feel their love.

And this one fills you with confidence.

Courage.

Empowerment.

And authenticity.

Feel the courage.

Confidence that you can cope with anything.

The empowerment of your strength or your power.

And that your realness.

Your authenticity.

That you don't have to ask any permission from anyone to be you.

You author your own reality.

And another one comes.

And this one embraces you as well.

Empowers you with love.

And this one gives you the gift of enchantment.

Feel this energy flowing into you.

And another one comes.

Flowing effortlessly towards you.

Embracing you.

And this one places its forehead upon your brow.

And gives you the gift of remembering.

Remember a cosmic memory of who you once were and will be again.

To a remembering of your higher self of your soul who remembers.

And the memories from God,

Goddess all there is.

Another one flows towards you.

This one releases your embrace.

This embracing embraces you again.

Feeling you with love.

Placing their forehead upon you.

Your brow fills you with beauty.

Beauty.

Sense your own beauty.

And how beautiful you really are.

Not just a physical beauty but the beauty inside of you.

The glowing beauty.

It flows from your eyes into the world.

And you see a reflection of your beauty.

Another one comes to you.

And fills you with willingness.

The willingness to explore the unfathomable.

To go and see the uncharted.

The willingness to explore the unknown.

To step out of yourself and to reach.

Always reaching for more.

Being willing.

Being willing to be more.

And the last one comes to fill you with power.

The sense of who you're becoming that you've changed.

Not just better.

The power to be more than you've ever been.

To open up to the love of God,

Goddess all there is.

Feel the energy of God,

Goddess all there is flowing to you.

Feel that energy of love.

God,

Goddess,

All that is.

The spark of Goddess that is within you.

Reaching for the spark of God,

Goddess all there is.

To be embraced.

Feel the power and the beauty.

And that's it.

You see the light of the day leave and begin to fade.

You clasp your hands together and you think the ancient ones were their gifts.

Stepping back out of the mirror.

Stepping back out of the mirror.

You step back into the flame.

But this time the flame is a strong force and it forges the gifts you have received from the ancient ones.

It forges the enchantment and the beauty,

The remembering.

Forges you with confidence,

Courage,

The empowerment and authenticity,

The willingness and full power of your being.

Gorgeous in you now.

Allow yourself to be filled with new visions,

New dreams.

Stepping out of the flame.

Stepping back into the past.

Here's the early morning.

You sense the warmth of the sun beginning to rise upon the horizon as the moon sinks beneath the horizon.

Stars begin to go out one by one as you walk back across the bridge.

You begin sitting on the hillside watching the sun rise,

Feeling how much you have changed.

And as you close your mental eyes you find yourself back in the room,

Back in your space.

Feeling the energy begin to flood into your body.

And I will count from one to five.

And you can open your eyes.

One.

Coming back now.

Two.

Three.

Coming back into your body.

Four.

However electric it is.

And five.

Open your eyes.

Take a deep breath in.

Hold this breath.

And exhale.

Perhaps you need to shake your hands up,

Move your legs.

But it's been a pleasure to share this experience with you on this full moon.

And as always we send to you our love,

Our deepest love and appreciation for you listening to this.

We sing you love and always peace.

Meet your Teacher

Fantastic! That was one of the most riveting and creative visualizations I’ve ever heard. Part of it reminded me of an actual waking experience that I had years ago when I saw my higher self or future self in the mirror. You captured the essence of that experience very well. I have one suggestion: Try the free Audacity software to edit out the background noise. It helped me improve the sound quality of my own recordings. Thanks for a great meditation!

I shall play this again tonight…Beautiful, thank you 🙂 UPDATE: 2nd time round, what a wonderful visualisation, awake all the way through this time and what an amazing experience!
