Meditation for the opening of a women's circle.
Welcome.
Sit comfortably in a circle,
Close your eyes and allow your body to relax.
Rest your hands gently on your knees,
Palm facing up or down as you prefer.
Take a moment to breathe deeply.
With each inhalation,
Feel yourself feeling with relaxation.
And with each exhalation,
Release any accumulated tension.
Now bring your awareness to the sole of your feet.
Feel their connection with the earth.
Relax,
Thanking your feet for their strength and for supporting you.
Slowly move up your legs,
Noticing any tension that may be present.
As you exhale,
Release that tension,
Allowing your legs to be fully relaxed.
Thank your legs for carrying you where you need to go.
Continue the journey through your body,
From your hips to your abdomen,
Chest,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Neck and head.
In each area where you find tension,
Rest your awareness there and relax.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head.
Connect with whatever you consider higher than you,
God,
The universe,
Divine energy,
The source or the absolute.
Notice a golden light descending from above,
Connecting you with this higher realm.
Allow this light to bathe you entirely,
Filling the space with its presence.
We invoke the divine feminine energy,
The Divine Mother.
This energy also comes from the earth,
The Great Mother who sustains and nurtures us.
Feel this energy rising from the earth,
Moving up through your feet and merging with the light descending from the sky.
These two energies unite in your heart,
Creating a sacred and protective space.
We ask the Divine Mother to protect this space,
To make it safe,
Beneficial and sacred.
We ask her to act through us so that we experience whatever we need for our evolution.
We detach from any expectations,
Outcomes or karma and become vehicles for the Divine to act through us.
Take a moment to repeat it internally,
In your own words.
Divine Mother,
Be present here and now.
Protect our space.
Make it sacred.
I offer my entire being as a vehicle for you to act through me.
I release any expectations,
Trusting that whatever I need for my evolution is what will happen.
I accept it and bless it.
I relax and trust in your guidance.
Now slowly bring your attention back to the circle.
Feel how the space has been transformed.
It is now a sacred and protective space.
We have set aside our egos to allow our souls to guide us towards our evolution.
Take your hand from your knee and join hands with the woman next to you.
Hold hands with your thumbs pointing to the right.
Imagine that from your right hand you emit positive energy,
Love,
Support and warmth to the woman on your right,
And from your left you receive it.
Focus this energy on your heart,
In the center of your chest.
Imagine a bright light expanding from your heart to the other women's hearts,
Creating a continuous flow of energy,
Love and sisterhood.
Take your time,
Feel.
Slowly we begin to come back.
Feel the effects of this practice.
Sense the feeling of unity among all women,
Intimacy and trust.
Now we can create this circle to share without fear and with love.
Take a moment to express gratitude.
We thank you,
Divine Mother,
Our sisters,
And the opportunity to evolve together.
We thank you for the blessings that are yet to come and the ones we already have.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale open your eyes.
Welcome.
