Cave Meditation

by Jim Cox

It is nightfall, and we are gathered around a campfire.

In the woods nearby is a cave with a large opening. It is warm and dry inside. The floor is sandy. The walls and ceiling studded with gemstones that emit a soft glow to light our way.

As we enter the silence envelops us, and we are cut off from all outside sounds. There is a large room, high ceilinged, as if to provide a meeting space. Down one passageway, a flight of stairs carved into the stone leading down.

Exhale deeply now.

Slowly walk down the stairs, descending into Mother Earth Herself. There is a landing, with a round pool of water, fed by springs deep in the earth.

Take a drink. The water sparkles and glows with magic, this is True “holy water”. Give thanks to Mother and continue.

Exhale again, relax deeply, and descend to the next level below.

A faint sound, from many levels below us, slow, pulsating, thrumming.

Descend again, the path grows brighter, the sounds louder.

We find ourselves in a giant room, crystalline ceiling, torches flickering on the walls, but the light is far brighter than the torches alone provide.

Join hands here, in a circle.

Close your eyes and feel the pulsating sound ripples in your chest, vibrating in harmony.

The hands of your friends, on either side of you, grip tightly, warm, electric current between your palms. The atmosphere is alive with anticipation.

It is the moment before the birth of Creation when All is yet unmanifest, without Form, yet All is fully present and alive within you. You are that pure creative Impulse itself. You are the sound, the vibration you feel, the electricity.

Rest here in this energy for a few moments.

Let your Awareness expand, filling the room, until you are present in every part of it.

Your heart and gut tremble with anticipation. ALL is possible here, you are at the Source, and you ARE that Source!

Welcome Home, Gods, Goddesses, co-Creators.

Relax into your own Divinity, your own Power.
