The energy of the four cardinal directions,
As well as the energies of above,
Below,
And within,
Have been called upon in sacred ceremony by cultures around the world for centuries.
This meditation will help you activate and embrace these energies and assist you to create your own personal sacred space.
If you are aware of the cardinal directions from your current vantage point,
You may choose to stand and face each direction as they are called in,
Or you may remain in your meditative posture from the very beginning,
Visualizing yourself facing each direction.
Choose your beginning posture,
Either standing or sitting,
With your back straight.
Come into the here and now,
Taking three deep breaths.
Call in the energy of below,
The energy of Mother Earth,
Feminine energy,
Intuition,
Spontaneity,
And sensuality.
Call in that energy which gives birth and nurtures.
Remain still and receptive as you become aware of how you relate to the energy of below.
Thank you,
Energy of below.
We call upon the energy of the East,
The archetype of the warrior,
The element of fire,
Of the sun.
The East is the gateway to new beginnings.
Allow this inner gate to open.
Breathe deep and embrace the energy of the East.
Thank you,
Energy of the East.
Call in the energy of the South,
The archetype of the King,
The element of water,
Opening to the flow of life.
Embrace now the energy of the South.
Thank you,
Energy of the South.
Call upon the energy of the West,
The archetype of the lover,
The element of air,
Harvest energy.
Lovingly harvest the seeds you have planted by embracing the energy of the West.
Call upon the energy of the North,
The archetype of the priest and of the magician,
The shadow side.
Bless and transform your shadow side as you embrace the energy of the North.
Call upon the energy of above,
The energy of the ancestors,
The energy of the masculine,
Strength,
Courage,
Determination and rational thinking.
With gratitude to the ancestors,
Welcome this masculine energy of above.
Thank you,
Energy of above.
If you are standing,
Assume your normal meditative posture.
It is time to go within,
To activate your very being,
Your sensuality,
Power,
Love,
Communication,
Perception and your divine essence.
Awaken the splendor of what is inside of you as you embrace the spirit of within.
Thank you,
Energy of above.
Express gratitude to the seven directions and with a deep breath release them.
Know that you have the ability to call upon the energy of the seven directions and to create sacred space through your will and your voice whenever you desire to do so.
As you enter back into the world,
Bring this peace and this feeling of being grounded into the seven directions,
Into the world.
Thank you.
