PrefaceThis meditation can be done by both men and women.We thought we were just doing some beautiful, Native ceremonies for women.....and then we found out the ceremonies were part of a pathway—a women's pathway to awakening, or as the Grandmothers in the spirit world describe it—a pathway of shedding our limited bodies so that we may become our limitless selves.And so several of us women who had been drawn to the Women's Water Ceremonies began doing the Creation Meditation that was being passed on to us. It changed our lives—almost over night.
Issues we had struggled with since we were children, began dissolving, and blessed peace became more and more present in our daily lives.
The meditation is natural to us because it
works with the sacred energy of a woman's body and spirit. And now, after a hundred years of sleep, it is being awakened again to be shared with women all over the world—including, and especially—you!
The first step of the meditation was learned at the time a girl began her menses. It was part of her initiation into the mystical world of womanhood. The second was learned when she was ready to attract her partner and the third was learned when a woman's menses was complete. You may learn the steps as they call to you. Feel free to go slowly, experiencing one step for many months or even years. If you wish, it can become a beautiful and daily part of your mystical journey.
The Creation MeditationStep 1—Gently Releasing Your Limiting BeliefsParticularly helpful for people that are empathic
Find a quiet moment. Turn off the phone, the TV, the stereo, and commit to not answering the door. This your time. Your sacred time. Tell the children, your spouse, or your room mate to leave you undisturbed for a while. You have sacred work to do.You might want to light a candle or place a bowl of water near you, but most of all, what you need most is your solitude.Breathe gently and sweetly, accepting the nourishment of the air, the day, spirit, whatever fills you with peace. Then focus on your womb. Allow all your attention to connect to the physical or energetic womb within you. Feel/know/sense/see/hear its darkness, its vastness, its sacred nature, and its ability to hold all possibilities in love and compassion.
Allow your awareness (do not force this, but rather allow) to bring you something you feel limited about. Perhaps it is a fear you have, a concern or doubt, or a feeling that is uncomfortable for you. This is your current "I am" state, such as "I am sad, "I am joyful," or I am "numb." Hold that feeling in the sacredness of your womb. Do not try to fix or change it for that would dishonor the wisdom that lives within the feeling and its inherent limits. Simply be with the feeling. As you hold it, feel your compassion swell within you, just as you would feel compassion for a child. Simply be in compassion. Do nothing, except BE with it.
It will, in its own time, transform into a greater state of freedom. It might transform the first time you hold the feeling in this way. It might take several or many times, but it will transform—on its own—in the presence of your compassion. It will emerge into a new "I am."
Approach it in this way:Your womb and the primordial sacred womb of life are one. Go to your womb and there see/sense the belief that limits you. Hold it, forgive it, love it within your womb so that it can die a peaceful death.You might sense, see, hear or know that new "I am" as a symbol, visualization, feeling, sound, word or sense. Allow this awareness to come from deep within you, rather than from your rational mind. Even if the "I am" does not make logical sense, it will make sense to your soul and that is where true self-awareness resides.
Step 2—The Oneness of the Sacred Masculine and Feminine Welcoming Your New CreationIn the next step, you open your nature to your sacred masculine or feminine self (whichever most needs to be fostered in you). In order to expand your spiritual field, you are going to welcome and lovingly bond with a part of yourself that helps you experience more wholeness.
It is important that you do not try to “figure this out.” The entire meditation process is profoundly effective because it relies on intuitive wisdom as it emerges from the subconscious rather than what you “think” anything should be.
You may experience the integration as an energetic cohesion of the two parts within each chakra. You my feel that part simply step into your skin. You may feel it slip into your awareness as it slowly merges with you up or down your spine. You might sense that the light of the Sacred Masculine emerges from the dark womb of the Sacred Feminine. How it merges with you is not as significant as your willingness to allow this part of yourself to more fully integrate into your spiritual consciousness. Hold the intention of merger and welcoming energy until you feel your energetic body’s full acceptance. When the merger is complete, you will feel as though something is complete that was not before.
Over time, you may find this merger takes place more and more quickly. You may also find the nature of the merger changes over time from one archetypal aspect of yourself to another. Once the integration has taken place, affirm your oneness. Affirm your intention of oneness and hold a welcoming energy of oneness until you feel your energetic body’s acceptance and a clear sense of completion with that intention.
Then consider your "I am" from Step 1, and welcome the life force of its limitless aspect or nature, in the same way parents would welcome a pregnancy. You don’t have to define it or give it a name. All you have to request is the limitless perspective that is right for you. If you received a name or identity of something new at the end of Step 1, then you may certainly focus on that aspect, holding it in the love of the bonded masculine and feminine self. Again hold it in love and compassion, allowing it to transform into its next level of becoming. A new "I am" may emerge or you may find the new "I am" from the first step remains with you.
Step 3 —ReBirthing YourselfIn this last step, you open to space in which your life force re-creates itself. Allow yourself to consider your "I am" from Step 2 like a seed or sphere of light. You do not need to be able to feel it in order to sense it. Allow this seed or sphere to begin a journey with you at the top of your head. In the old days, they were aware of the energy centers of the body, but I don't know what we called them. For our purposes, we will refer to them as chakras.
Allow the top of your head (crown chakra) to open in welcoming love to the seed or sphere. All chakras have their own unique vibration of love, so in this step allow yourself to become attuned to their loving vibrations.
Slowly invite the sphere/seed to be lovingly received by each of the energy bodies make its way down through the charkras from the: 1) crown, 2) third eye, 3) throat, 4) heart, 5) solar plexus, 6) digestive area and last, the root chakra at the tail bone and reproductive center.
Take your time with this, for the seed may need to gestate in each chakra for minutes or days.
When it has reached the root chakra and is ready to give birth, it will emerge from your energetic vagina and become the life force of you born anew. Notice if a new "I am" comes to you.
You might want to bring a symbol of this new "I am" to your altar to help you remember to honor this new or renewed nature of your self-awareness.
Then,
if your heart calls you, come back to this web-site and share a story about your transformation through this meditation that will
inspire another woman or man who may be struggling with a similar limit. In this way, we will gently encourage each other to continue the journey of re-creating ourselves. After all, that is our divine birthright.
In my heart and songs,
