The Sacred Spring Meditation ~ from the book The Crystal Heart - A Practical Guide to Healing the Heart Centre with Crystals by Ra Bonewitz PhD

Purpose...

To be in touch with the deepest level of your own heart, the energy pattern that is at the core of your Being.

Crystal...

Choose a crystal for this meditation to which you feel a response deep in your heart center. Try to look for a physical sensation in the heart when tuning in. In the meditation the crystal is placed over the heart.

Programme...

To be drawn into the very deepest level of your own Being, and to see reflected back to you, the energy pattern that is your Beingness.

In ancient times, the water source for a city was often within the city walls, and reached through a very deep well. These wells were often more than just vertical shafts - they were proper tunnels, with stairs leading down into them. Our sacred spring will be in such a location.

Go into your mind then to some ancient place - a place where you feel a sacred connection. This can be a real place or an imagined one. Whatever place you go to, find a doorway, a doorway that opens into a sloping tunnel, that leads to a sacred spring. Create the kind of doorway you might expect to find in such a place: an elaborate doorway, the entrance to a temple, or whatever image you would see for such a sacred place.

As you walk up to the door, you may sense that you would like to carry out some sort of ritual, or some sort of personal cleansing as you are about to enter a holy place. When you have done so, enter the doorway and begin walking downward. There is a passageway, a sloping tunnel that leads deep into the earth. It is a wide passageway, with stairs and a slope that is comfortable to walk down. It is warm and dry in this passageway, and it is spacious enough that there is no sense of confinement.

As the light of day fades behind you, the lighting in the passageway will be provided by candles, giving it a warm and soft glow. You will hear the echo of your footsteps, as you go deeper and deeper into the earth.

Give yourself plenty of time and really try and sense the depth - deeper, and deeper and deeper, and deeper still.

Eventually, when you feel you have reached the very depths, you will begin to hear a gentle sound of water trickling. You know that you are approaching the sacred spring, and the pool that lies at its feet. As you reach the deepest part of the tunnel, you will find that it opens into a large room, with a beautiful pool of candlelit water, surrounded by a sandy beach, and by a number of seats which surround the pool. You are there by yourself, but you may know that this is the same life source for many.

Seat yourself next to the pool, and just feel the energy that comes upward with the spring - the waters of life. As you watch the pool, you will eventually notice that there is a faint glow in the water which begins to get brighter as you watch it. You know that there is no fear about what you are going to see, but you certainly may have other feelings that are appropriate to express.

The glow becomes even brighter and you suddenly sense that something is rising out of the water from the very depths. As you watch, a glowing figure rises from the water. It is not in human form, being made up of mostly points of light, but you will be aware that radiating from this figure of light is an intense feeling of joy and love. You will realize, that in the depths of your Being, this is who you really are.

There may be some communication from this Being of light, or there may not, but in either case there will be a moment when you sense you have been in the presence of this Being for a sufficient amount of time. At that time, the Being will sink into the depths once again, leaving you alone in the candlelit chamber.

When you sense completion, allow yourself time to digest your experience, and when you are ready, return to the surface. Allow plenty of time to return to the surface, and if you have experienced any deep emotional feelings throughout this meditation, lie down, lie on your left side and allow the experience to integrate.

Journalling can be helpful in this experience.

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
