Goddess Meditations

Book excerpt: Bring the presence of the Goddess into your daily spiritual practice with Goddess Meditations , a book of 73 unique guided meditations created for women and men who want to find a place of centeredness and serenity in their lives, both alone and in groups, either in rituals or informally. Call on a Hestia for a house blessing ... the White Buffalo Calf Woman for help in learning from your mistakes ... Aphrodite for love and pleasure ... Kuan Yin for compassion. Although it's directed toward experienced meditators, this book includes guidelines for beginners about breathing, safety, and grounding, as well as instructions for rituals and constructing an altar. Also featured is the powerful "Goddess Pillar Meditation," based on the Qabalistic Middle Pillar Meditation; nine Great Goddess meditations that address issues such as protection, community, and priestess power; and seven meditations that link goddesses to the chakras.
