 Meditation
on the Mystery of the Divine Mother
by Corinne McLaughlin
Begin by
taking a few deep breaths, breathing in peace and stillness, and exhaling
any tensions or worries…. Align with your soul, your highest self, and
ask your soul to be your guide on this inner journey.
Now imagine that you are carrying a torch or some
type of light, and you are standing in front of vast cave, which looks
very intriguing and inviting…. Enter the cave, and follow the passage
that leads ever downward, deep into the womb of the earth….Notice how it
feels warm and nurturing…. Go deeper still, until you find yourself in
the very core, the heart of the earth…. Become aware that you are
expected, that a powerful being awaits you here in the center of the earth.
....Now you enter into the veiled and mysterious
presence of the Divine Mother/Goddess, known by many names in many
spiritual traditions…. A sense of awe fills you…. Notice how she appears
to you…. Allow yourself to be embraced by the beautiful, loving energy
radiating from her heart….Feel your own heart open and expand as your
consciousness blends with hers, releasing any barriers or blockages...
….Feel this sacred heart energy healing and renewing
you, filling every part of you…. Experience the generative, form-giving
energy of her essence, matter itself, as light is released…. Feel the
Divine Mother supporting you, the energy of matter and the earth itself
supporting you….
Now see the veil that is covering her face, the veil
of the Mysteries, the veil of matter itself, being lifted…. Before you
now is the radiant face of the Queen of Heaven, illumined through the
light of your human understanding….You now know directly that heaven and
earth, spirit and matter, are one—one energy vibrating at higher and
lower frequencies…..
Then, slowly as you’re ready, carry the radiant love
of the Divine Mother with you in your own heart…. Begin the return journey
from the core of the earth, through the cave and out into the daylight….
Take some time in silence to write down your experience.
