Meditation:   {written for Kindred Spirits Family}

Close your eyes and relax!
Four breaths in through your nose and thour through your mouth.  Picture yourself blowing away any negativity with each breath.

In your mind's eye picture yourself standing in the middle of a large log cabin - it is built on the north side of a mountain you alone have access to.

Look around the cabin and admire the workmenship - from the logs to the stone fireplace.  To your left you see a door.  Walk to the door - feel the handle in your hand.  You can feel it's smooth cool texture.  Turn the knob and open the door.

You are greeted by Mother Nature in all her beauty.  There are three steps down from your deck.  On the first step you look to the east and your man made pond complete with waterfall. Take a moment to enjoy it's serenity from afar.

On the second step you look to the south and are awed by the splendor of  the forest before you.
On the final step look to the west and see the glory of a clear blue lake.  Take a moment to admire the sun's
reflection off it's still - calm waters.

Proceed down to the soft green grass.  Feel it's texture and warmth on your bare feet.  It is a sunny and comfortable 75 degrees.  Lift your face to the sun.  Feel it's healing warmth as it washes over you.  You feel healthy and vital - all your cares; your worries; your aches and your pains - are washed away from you in the sun's warmth.  Mentally thank the Gun God for shining down on you this day.

Walk to the east - towards the pond.  Your step is light and you hardly feel as though you are touching Mother Earth.  Before the pond is a bench - sit down and be enveloped by it's comfort.  Allow the calming feeling you receive from the pond and waterfall to seep into you.  Lower your right hand - gently stroke the soft white fur of a mother rabbit as she suckles her babes.  To your left a happy young squirrel  vies for your attention - spend a few moments watching it's antics.  As you rise and go to the pond - kneel at it's edge.  You see a family of beautifully coloured fish - they are all the colours of the rainbow.  They swim to greet you.  Cup your hands, dip them in the water and drink deeply of the cool refreshing water - as it contains the Knowledge of the Ages.  Take a moment to reflect on what knowledge the pool has imparted to you this time.

After reflecting on your new found knowledge walk towards the forest.  Here you will use all of your senses.  You feel the soft well worn path beneath your feet.  This is a path you have walked often in many lives.  Surrounding you on both sides you can catch a glimpse of your many lifetimes.  You smell the fresh untainted air.  You see the colours of life so vivid and true.  You pass a sleepy serpent sunbathing in a patch of light on a rock.  His cool logic tells him you mean him no harm and he raises his head only slightly to acknowledge you.  You see above you the canopy of branches and trees offering you their cooling shade.  You come to the tree you have always most identified with.  Sit for a moment and rest with you back against the tree.  Feel the energy and life of the tree fill you with hope for all you dream of to come to you.   Reach down and gently pluck a berry from one of many vines.  Taste it's refreshing sweetness in your mouth.  For this is the berry that gives us new hope and courage each day.  For in it's sweetness we find self-acceptance and love - THAT WE ARE AS WE ARE MEANT TO BE.  Embrace yourself as you carry a spark of the divinity in you.

Resume walking through the forest enjoying the sights and sounds.  Watch birds overhead as they flirt from branch to branch.  Hear them sing as you come to a sunlight clearing. Before you leave the forest - pause - remember it is written "That which you cannot find in yourself  - you will never find without."  Today and everyday you walk your path to your ultimate destiny - all the wisdom and power of the ancients.  Know yourself, your endless capabilities and rejoice in it.

Leaving the forest the path leads you to the beach along the lake.  Feel the soft lake breeze tickle your face.  Feel the warmth of the sun-kissed sand on your feet.  Walk until you feel the place that tugs at your soul. And now with a finger of your power hand trace a pentagram in the sand in front of you.  For a moment think about this symbol and what it means to you.  How does it make you feel?

Onto the beach beside you waddles a duck, a goose and a swan.  They nudge your hand, as if my magick, pieces of dried bread appear in them.  They eat their full from your hands and then laying their cheeks against your arm as if in gratitude and love, they then wander back to the lake's edge.  You realize this is how the world was meant to be.  You follow the birds to the shore.  Wade into the water until it is up to your knees.  Feel the power of water, the sand beneath your feet, the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze.

All of these elements combine and flow into you.  Take a moment and feel yourself being washed over in shades of green and blue. All the blue fills you with a sense of calm and the green to heal you.  Picture any ailments you have changing from an angry red to a healing green.

Feel yourself being washed over in white and silver - the love the Deity has for us.........

Stay as long as you need to.........

When you are ready to return to this state of consciousness open your eyes. Carry with you everyday the knowledge imparted to you.  Relive this meditation at the times when you need strength or healing.

Place both your feet firmly on the ground and release all your excess energy back to Mother Earth with the intention of healing her.
