Meditation 1 of New Season

[Delicia]

I just had an incredible experience. Even though my season 2 doesn't officially start until Sunday, I wanted to get into the rhythm of the season as early as possible. I did a meditation session. My goal was 15 minutes. I did 24 minutes. I used a meditative CD. I sat in one of our comfortable chairs wrapped with my cozy throw blanket. I closed my eyes and started saying OM. The CD quickly relaxed me. I was surprised how quickly. Soon I found it difficult to repeat OM. It was coming slower and shorter. My body started to go numb. Was I falling asleep, I thought? No. I was aware of my surroundings but I was so very relaxed. I even felt this slight warmth in my body. I also noticed that my neck ache was gone (I woke up with a neck ache due to my horrible pillows). I let go. With my eyes shut I noticed something. There was a figure, something moving. It was a bird. The bird was small and seemed far away. I saw it for several seconds. It was flying. The bird then moved closer. Yep, it was definitely a flying a bird. Then I remembered that my totem is a bird; an eagle. The bird changed and it became white. That's my spirit guide. I've met her before in previous meditations/journeys. No, I'm not crazy. I am part Native American. Some of my belief system incorporates Native American philosophy so for me this is perfectly natural and expected. I haven't seen my totem in such a long time. It felt good to be with her. For those of you who have visited my Pagan pages, you have noticed my name on there is Eaglewoman. That is the Craft name I was given because of my spirit guide.

Anyway, I see her flying. I feel good. I feel safe. I notice her eyes and her beak. Her face keeps coming in and out, especially her eyes. It's like, I am being zoomed in and out. I am saying to myself that I need to remember every detail, then I say that I should stop noticing & thinking about what to write and just experience & see. *lol* The color changes too. It appears green, almost like a neon green but not quite. Then I hear a voice. The Goddess, Source Energy. It's a woman's voice. She told me not to be afraid. She told me I am special. She said that everything I want is already mine that I need to let myself flow, to allow the energy flow through me, that just as I allow the air to flow through my wings to lift me up to great heights, I should allow Her to flow through me to reach anything I want. I thought to myself, this is incredibly true! Why hadn't I thought of it that way before? I trusted what She was saying. I believe it. I think She told me that She loved me and that She is always with me but that I knew that, that I can feel Her. Then it got quiet and the color stopped moving or changing. Then I saw the flying bird again. I think it was like flying down perhaps? I'm not sure but that was the feeling I got. I saw the eagle's face and it was squawking, opening it's mouth like eagle's do to make that scream or screech they make. I saw it flying, then nothing.
Then I made myself move. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I felt the ache in my neck again. I felt strange, like I was groggy or drugged or something. (No, I didn't take drugs or fall asleep. In fact, I heard my little dog a couple of times barking, that is how I know I wasn't asleep)
I couldn't wait to jump on here and share my experience! I feel so blessed! I am so grateful that this happened.
I feel so...touched, so validated.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
