When you take a familiar image and/or concept and use it to bring your world back into balance it also helps to keep you grounded between the two worlds a writer works in.
I call this The Scales Meditation
That said this meditation is suitable for anyone who has been meditating for a while.
A note before you begin- read through the meditation and if you find the word ‘energies’ disconcerting, try exchanging it for ‘thoughts and experiences’’
When you are comfortable and ready to meditate…
take three deep slow breaths…
in… out… in… out…in… out…
feel the tension of the day begin to unravel…
then imagine yourself in a safe place…
allow yourself to walk in any direction...
in front of you is a huge statue of a woman
holding the pans of a set of scales in each hand...
as you reach the woman... you see it is yourself...
in your truth and reality..
in your place in the universe...
huge, important, essential..
your presence is maintaining the harmony and balance that is essential to all things, places, people, events wishes and dreams...
in the universe..
without you the balance and harmony would not be quite right..
it would be off kilter...
as you look at the pans of those scales...
you are invited to place all the harmful energies that are causing harm to our environment into one pan....
take your time to think about what you want to put in there
it may be that what you perceive as harmful is in reality
harmonizing the effect of something else that would cause great damage on its own...
keep filling the pan until you have nothing left to place in this pan.....
and when you have finished...
turn your attention to the other pan....
and begin filling it with all the energies that you feel will enhance, harmonise, balance and stabilize the planet and everyone and everything on it...
keep filling your pan until you have nothing more to put into it...
now study both pans carefully to see which one is the fullest...
and turn your attention back to the pan holding all the harmful and negative energies and gently begin to blow on them....
as you do...
notice that they begin to crumble away into dust...
as you continue to blow, this dust flows out into the universe to be recycled and turned into positive energies....
you may find that despite how much you blow at your dish some apparently negative energy wont crumble away....
accept this…
and release it to the Source..
turn your attention back to the pan with all the harmonizing energies...
one by one, try moving the positive energy into the other pan, to see if you can balance the contents...
like night and day...
some positive and negative energies have to work in harmony to create the right effect...
keep adding positive energies to the negative pan until your dishes balance and are in complete harmony...
and when you have perfect balance and harmony surround both dishes in a colour of your choosing...
knowing that the energies left in both dishes are essential for perfect harmony and balance in our lives.....
you can send this light out to any person, situation, event, dream or whatever...
and whenever you feel the need to do so....
and for as long as you feel it is required...
when you have finished balancing your dishes and surrounding them in light...
thank the statue for being there for you and accept your own strength and ability to make these changes...
and then walk in any direction...
and take three deep slow breaths...
and in your own time come back to the room you are in and the present time.
Namaste.
