Kristin asked me to post this and I thought I would start it off a new thread for anyone who was interested so that they don't have to trawl through other replies to get to it. It is a meditation I intend to use in my workshops to help people to connect with their passion/soul purpose. Anyone who wants to try this may wish to get a pen and paper ready first to write anything down that comes to them when they finish the meditation, which is called Walking to the Moon. I also recommend doing the meditation a couple of times first without asking the question as familiarity with it will help you to feel a deeper meditative state than a first attempt and you will feel more comfortable sitting on your throne of power, which for many may feel like an alien place to be.
Begin by grouding: Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your arms uncrossed.
Breath in - expand your abdomen, as you focus on your breath relax your body into the chair and feel your whole body opening, expanding and relaxing until you are breathing deeply and evenly. Start to feel your feet on the floor becoming heavy, feel your connection to the eath, grounding and balancing you. Imagine roots from the soles of your feet going down into the earth, spreading, expanding and going all the way down into the centre of the earth. From the centre of the earth these roots take love and nourishment, brining up the nourishment through your feet and moving up your body filling it with a golden orange light of love and nourishment.
You are now feeling warm, safe and secure and relaxed.
See a beautiful pure white reflective light surrounding the whole of your body - like being in a ball of light - cocooned and safe in the centre of this relective white light
- nothing can disturb you inside.
In this safe space focus on your breath - like the wave on the sheashore see yourself standing by the sea - let your breath flow in and out... in and out... following the gentle flow of the waves. Feel the sand beneath your feet, smell the sea... listen to the sounds of the waves gently lapping at the shore...
The sky changes colour as night falls moving from the brilliant light blue of day to a deep dark blue... the blue of a clear night sky. The moon rises in the distance and lights up a pathway across the water - straight to your feet.
The pathway becomes a golden staircase and you walk towards the staircase - see yourself gently and effortlessly gliding up the staircase - there is a beautiful white banister at either side to help you balance and you feel happier with each step that takes you closer to the moon.
As you move up and up the stairs towards the moon it become transparent and you are able to walk through the moou and enter a brilliant white chamber.
The chamber glimmers like crystal - in the centre of this chamber is a throne - your throne - look at the colour of the throne and the jewels that decorate it - this is your seat of power - and you slowly walk towards it and sit down on it - knowing that as you do so you are connecting with your power.
As you sit down you feel a great sense of love for yourself and recognise that you are sitting on the throne of your own destiny. As you connect deeper and deeper with this energy you know that you can do anything that you want to do. Allow this freedom and energy to flow through every cell in your body.
As you sit there you become aware that you are in the presence of your Guardian Angel. Your Guardian Angel has come to help you re-connect with your soul and to find your passion - with love in your heart now ask your Guardian Angel "what is my passion"?
Sit quietly in your seat of power and listen to the response - do not concern yourself about understanding it's meaning - listen with an open heart - take some time to listen to your Guardian Angel with an open heart - Thank your Guardian Angel for the information.
Now slowly get up from your seat of power and make your way out of the beautiful white chamber - through the moon and slowly down and down the golden staircase until you feel your feet on the sand. Feel the warmth of the sand beneath your feet re-connecting you with the energy of the earth.
Turn around and take a last look at the moon before slowly bringing yourself back into the room, back into your body.>
To do this successfully you have to be willing to accept what you are told. It may also take a couple of attempts to get an answer if you aren't open to hearing the answer, but only you will know if that is the case. Or you may get an answer but feel you want to do the meditation again to get more information. The more you do it the deeper it will be for you each time.
Also the purpose of the meditation is not always defined into practical actions - it may be that you are told "you are here to light up the world" or "you are here to show unconditional love". If this is the case you will only get deeper understanding of your passion by repeating the meditation until you feel that you are getting clearer answers.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to try it. Another suggestion I would make is to record it and try it with a friend as having someone there at the end of the meditation to discuss it with may help you to clarify your thoughts and feelings about what you have been told.
Brightest Blessings

Hi Carol.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It sounds wonderful. I am going to tape it and practice. I will keep you posted. I so need this right now. I am trying so hard to figure this out. Now...do you have anything to stop the roof leak in my back room...LOL You could go tubing back there! I was just outside crawling on my roof. What a day...
Blessings:)

Thanks, Carol! I haven't read through this yet, but I printed it out, b/c I definitely need to find (and cultivate) my passion! :-D
