Libra Full Moon Peace Meditation:
April 9, 2009
Sekhmet Temple, Indian Springs, NV
We are gathered here tonight in this beautiful sacred space in the time of balance between Aries and Libra, Light and Dark, Self and Other. A delicate balance indeed. In this moment of complete unity between the opposites, we are invited into this silent space to plant the seeds of Peace.
So if you will, close your eyes and breathe. Ground yourself in the Earth, Our Mother. Open up to receive the Wisdom of the Heavens. Let them blend perfectly within your heart. And now breathe out the Peace. 3x's
Imagine standing at the top of the sacred mountain, the world axis. The whole world is spread out below. As you focus your attention, see the conflicts and wars below.
See the missiles flying from North Korea.
The repression in Tibet.
The fighting in the Middle East.
The killings in Darfur.
The killing of baby seals in Canada.
The drug wars in South America.
The mind control in the West.
You might ask: Where is Peace in our world?
And then look to see the Beauty of Life.
Focus your attention on the Land, the Sea, a flower, the glory of Love in all its forms, the awesome vastness of the Cosmos. Moonlight shimmering on Water. Friendships. Engaged citizens. Awakened Vision.
These are the blessings that call for Peace in the world. Both sides of the balance contribute to our understanding of Peace.
Now turn and see the Great Goddess, Mother of Life and Death. She holds a scale in her hand, the scale of truth and cosmic order. She knows that Peace comes from each individual heart. Is your heart at peace?
She takes your heart and places it in the balance over against her feather of cosmic justice and truth. And she says to you:
Look into your heart. There is something that you have not forgiven yourself for. Look now and forgive.
Look at the scale. It is still not perfectly balanced.
Look again into your heart. There is someone you have not forgiven. Hold them in your heart and forgive.
Look again at the scale. It is still not perfectly balanced.
Look into your heart for a 3rd time. There are 3 things you have done that are life-giving. Hold them in your heart and be blessed.
Now look at my scale. It is balanced. It is thus that peace is achieved within and without!
Be at peace! Be at peace. Be at Peace.
