Guided Meditation

First sit comfortably and relax.  Take some  slow deep breaths.  If you need to stretch or shake your limbs, do so now.  Remember to keep breathing deeply.  Now imagine that you can see the fire in the giant twelve-point iron crystal at the center of the Earth, and that you can breathe the Sun's golden light into this fire and then up through all the layers of the Earth's crust and into your root chakra, located at the base of your spine.  As you breathe the golden light into your first chakra, breathe out any tension, stress and fear regarding your material survival.  Call on the forces of the two martial planets, Mars and Pluto, and breathe their power in through the constellation Scorpio.  Feel the Scorpio qualities of intuition, efficiency, courage, ambition and resourcefulness.  Feel the Martian energies of aggression, vitality, strength and sexuality.  Feel the Pluto energies of transformation, regeneration, illumination and wisdom.  See the golden light coming into your first chakra center as you are opened, grounded and revived.

Now breathe the golden light up through the Earth's layers and through your open first chakra into your second chakra, which is located a few inches below the navel.  As you breathe into the second center, release anything limiting your creativity and sensuality.  Call on the forces of Venus, and breathe in its power through the constellation Libra.  Feel the Libran qualities of idealism, cooperation, sensuality and sociability.  Feel the Venusian qualities of harmony, devotion, refinement and affection.  See the golden light coming into your second chakra center and feel sensually opened and deeply relaxed.

Continue to breathe the golden light from the giant twelve-point iron crystal in the center of the Earth.  Breathe up through the first two open chakras, luxuriating in their warmth and vibrancy, and into the third chakra, located in the solar plexus.  As you breathe into the third center, release anything limiting your ability to connect with your own will.  Call on the forces of the Sun, and breathe its power in through the constellation Libra.  Feel the Leo qualities of generosity, optimism, loyalty, ambition and affection.  Feel the solar qualities of creativity, vitality, confidence, leadership and generosity.  See the golden light coming into your third chakra center as you feel centered and directed by the light coming into your solar plexus center.

Now breathe the Earth's golden light up through the three open lower chakras into your fourth chakra, which is located in the heart.  As you breathe into the fourth center, release anything limiting your ability to love yourself fully, freely and unconditionally.  Call again on the power of the Sun through the constellation Leo, and feel the positive solar and Leonine traits energizing your heart center, allowing you to experience unrestricted and unconditional love and acceptance for yourself and the universe.

Again, breathe up from the center of the Earth, through the open four chakras and into your fifth chakra, located in the throat.  Remember to breathe through the open chakras each time you open a new chakra.  As you breathe into the fifth center, release anything limiting your ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings fully, freely and unconditionally.  Call on the forces of Venus and breathe its power in through the constellation Taurus.  Feel the Taurean qualities of reliability, perseverance, loyalty, trustworthiness and compassion.  Feel Libra's balancing energies clearing and realigning the energy in this chakra center.  Reaffirm your commitment to honest emotional expression as you breathe golden light into this center.

Breathe up through the first five chakras into the sixth chakra, located in the third eye center.  As you breathe into the sixth center, release anything limiting your ability to experience the full power of your instinctual and intuitive knowing.  Call on the forces of Mars through the constellation Aries.  Feel the Arian qualities of originality, courage, enthusiasm and independence.  Feel the Martial energies of aggression, vitality, strength and sexuality cleansing all blockages on your intuition and powers of instinct.

Once more, breathe up through the first six open chakras into the seventh chakra, located at the top of the head.  As you breathe into the seventh center, release anything limiting your ability to connect to your own soul's knowledge and wisdom.  Call once again on Mars and bring its energy in through the constellation Aries.  Feel the Arian energy of enthusiasm, pioneering and independence combining with the Martian strength and vitality to give you access to the full power of your instinctual self.

Now you have opened all the physical chakras.  Breathe into all seven chakras at once as we prepare to open the five esoteric chakras.  Now continue to breathe into all the chakras as you open the eighth chakra, located a few inches above the head.  As you breathe into the eighth center, release anything limiting your ability to experience your connection to the planet Earth and all her creatures.  Call on the forces of Chiron through the constellation Virgo.  Feel the Virgo qualities of perfectionism, analysis, attention to detail, reliability and consideration of others.  Experience Chiron's ability to connect with the energy of unseen planets, such as those yet to be discovered within our solar system and its environs.  Experience the vibration of your body in perfect harmony with the Earth's consciousness.  Feel the golden energy radiating outward from your body and enveloping the entire planet.

Breathe through the open eight chakras into the ninth chakra, located halfway between the Earth and the Moon.  As you breathe into the ninth chakra, breathe out anything limiting your ability to experience harmony with the Earth and the Moon.  Call on the forces of the Moon through the constellation Cancer.  Feel Cancer's industriousness, sympathy, thrift, sociability and protectiveness.  Feel the moon's receptivity to cycles and emotions, sensitivity and habits.  Feel the energy of the Earth and the Moon coming through your ninth chakra and connecting with the other eight.

Breathe through these nine open chakras into the tenth chakra, located somewhere out in the solar system.  As you breathe into the tenth chakra, breathe out anything limiting your ability to experience harmony with all the celestial beings in the solar system.  Call upon the forces of Saturn through the constellation Capricorn.  Feel Saturn's energy of restraint, caution, restriction, discipline and patience.  Feel Capricorn's energy of ambition, responsibility, patience, practicality and efficiency.   As you breathe golden light into the tenth chakra, feel your connection to all the celestial bodies in our solar system.

Breathe the Sun's light from the center of the Earth up through your open ten chakras into the eleventh chakra, which is located somewhere in our galaxy.  As you breathe into the eleventh chakra, breathe out anything limiting your ability to connect with all beings in the galaxy.  Call on the forces of Uranus through the constellation Aquarius.  Feel Uranus' energy of flashes of insight, eccentricity, creativity, originality, genius, perception and resourcefulness.  Feel Aquarius' energy of originality, intuition, social consciousness, open-mindedness, friendship and helpfulness.  As you breathe golden light into the eleventh chakra, feel your connection to all beings in our galaxy.

And now, breathe up through your eleven open chakras into your twelfth chakra, located somewhere in the universe.  As you breathe into the twelfth chakra, breathe out anything limiting your ability to connect with all beings in the universe.  Call on the forces of Neptune through the constellation Pisces.  Feel Neptune's energy of spiritual wisdom, inspiration, compassion, sacrifice and universal love.  Feel Pisces' energy of sympathy, compassion, imagination, humility and self-sacrifice.  As you breathe golden light into the twelfth chakra, feel your connection to all beings in our universe.

Breathe golden light into all your chakras and go on a journey to see and hear what you need at this point in your life.
