Hello,
And welcome to Methods of Contemplation.
This method is about the endless ocean of compassion that we call the Divine Mother.
To begin,
Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
And take a deep breath in through your nose,
And slowly exhale out through your mouth.
Repeat this a few times,
Allowing yourself to fully relax and let go of any held tension in your body.
Not just your physical body,
But your emotional body,
And your subtle intellectual body.
If any lingering ideas or memories or feelings are stuck within that subtle body,
Just allow the breath to loosen up those adhesions and allow them to flow out through the exhale.
If you're familiar with the practice of pranayama,
You're welcome to do that as well here.
As you continue to breathe,
Visualize a beautiful,
Radiant red light surrounding you,
Like the sunset in the summer,
Just before it dips below the horizon.
That richness of hue,
But multiplied a thousandfold.
This light is warm,
Loving,
And comforting.
It is the light of the Divine Mother,
The nurturing and compassionate energy that surrounds and animates us all.
Feel this energy flow into your body like a stream of nectar,
Filling you up with love and healing.
Imagine it flowing like honey through your veins,
Reaching every part of your being.
Allow yourself to be completely open and surrendered to this healing energy,
And feel any tension or negative energy leave your body.
As you connect with the Divine Mother,
Feel her love and presence surrounding you.
She is the complete embodiment of unconditional love and nurturing,
And she's here to support you and guide you on your journey every step of the way.
In fact,
She's never left you for one moment.
Now,
Clearly visualize yourself as best you can,
Sitting in a beautiful garden.
You're surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers.
There's the smell of jasmine in the air,
And you can hear the sound of a gentle nearby stream,
And feel the soft warmth of the sun on your skin.
As you look around,
You see the Mother,
The very form of absolute reality,
Walking sweetly towards you.
She is surrounded by a soft,
Warm light,
And her face is filled with endless love and compassion.
She approaches you and knowingly takes your hand,
Leading you to the most beautiful spot in the garden.
Sit down with her,
And feel her love and energy surrounding you.
You are safe and protected in her presence.
Take a moment to connect with her energy,
And allow yourself to be open to her guidance.
Now,
Ask her any questions or concerns that you may have,
Listen to her response carefully,
And feel her loving support and guidance as you receive her message,
Even if it's not discernible in words.
Take a few moments to bask in the warmth of her love and energy,
And feel any remaining worries or stress melt away.
And when you're ready,
Thank the Mother for her guidance and support,
And know that she is always with you,
And that you can connect with her energy whenever you need.
