Single Vortex Meditation

Close your eyes, be still and centre yourself. Let yourself imagine a room, a safe warm room. At first glance it seems empty. But look again. It is not empty. For there is a circle of backless chairs, solid like tree stumps, empty and waiting, begging for someone to sit in them.
Decide which one you want. Go sit on your chosen chair. Feel its solidness beneath you. Safe and supporting you, in this nice cosy room. Feeling very comfortable, relax even more. Totally at ease, gently relaxed on your chair. Now become conscious of your energetic self. A vibratory, multicoloured energy form. Feel your energy field, spreading out in front, behind you, to the sides, above and below. How far do you expand to? See your colours, do you recognize them all? Hear the vibratory tones, unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Know this is you. A beautiful and happy, unrestrained energy form.

Now look at the other chairs. They are no longer empty. They also each contain an energy form. Each one beautiful, totally magnificent in their vibrant colours and tones. All excited, full of life, eager to play with you.
Let your energy field reach out and touch the forms beside you. Feel how nice it is to be in their field. Expand further until you realise that everyone in the circle has reached out and connected, melded, become interconnected. Gently feel these energies begin circulate, beginning to spin. Notice how you have created a circle. A circle of energy that is flowing continuously. One gorgeous fluid movement, energy moving in a circle, with no interruptions, in a perfect circular dance of joy, peace, happiness, love and lightness. Slowly starting to spin faster in complete unison, creating a perfect balance for all, as you move as One. Enjoy this communion. Just let it flow. Unrestrained, flowing freely. Now let this energy gently settle into an even flow through you, smooth, even, balancing out to a nice steady spin of energy. Adjust the spin to suit you. Strong and powerful, yet gentle and soft. A steady even paced flow of energy. Enjoy this circle of equilibrium, full of colour, singing in harmony, at peace and at one with All. Beautifully balanced, strong and wholly alive.

Now turn your thoughts to Mother Earth. She is also a powerful source of energy and wishes to be part of you circle. Call her in and allow her energy to join you. Energies of nurturing, sheltering, stability, consistency, solidness, growth and grounding. As you receive her into your circle, honour and thank for her energy, her support and tremendous love for you. Embrace her love. Vow to return it back to her. Thank her for the beauty she provides. Enjoy her richness and bounty. Your circle has expanded thanks to Mother Earth. See it glimmering strongly. And once again, at a pace that suits you, feel it spin in perfect balance for One and for All.
Now there is someone else who also wants to join in. Father Sky, of course. Greet him with open arms. Welcome in his energy of protection and open skies. Let in his spirit of abundance, stimulation, creation and light. Feel his energy slide in and meld with your circle. Masculine energy to balance the female. Beautifully blending to create an even stronger circle. An even more perfect circle of light and energy. Combining the energies of Above with the energies of Below to the energies of Now. All spinning in complete, harmonious balance.

Feel your circle expand out beyond your original ring of chairs. See that swirling vortex. Do this by leaving yourself in the vortex, yet at the same time raising see yourself above it. Look down and admire the vortex you have created. It is still spinning quite fast, so gently slow it down. Slow it even further more. Now imagine your circle of energy turning on itself and creating a figure eight. If necessary, slow the energy down yet again. And watch it gracefully loop back on itself to form the infinity symbol. An unending figure eight of pretty energetic colours, revealing all sides, in perfect symmetry. As you watch this happen, start to make the infinity loop smaller. Loosing none of its energy, just condensing it down to smaller manageable size. Start to draw it closer to you. Continue shrinking it as you bring it closer, until it is of the size that will fit into your heart. See the powerful loop of Mother Earth/Father Sky/angelic energy approach you, and then hover just in front of your heart. Draw in a deep breath, and as you draw it in, bring this loop into your heart. Let it settle there. Feel it integrate with you, become part of you. Take another deep breath and let this infinity loop permeate out into all the cells of your body. Feel your body quicken and remember this knowledge. Ground yourself with this knowing. Acknowledge you now have in you the love, support and strength of Mother Earth and Father Sky. Know you are at One with all other energy forms. Know you are not alone. Rejoice in this and be thankful. Take another deep breath and gently become conscious of your own physical body. In your own time, fully return to your body. When ready, open your eyes.
