This meditation, while beautifully appropriate for the Ostara season, is useful anytime you need to expand beyond the boundries if the familiar. Stretching beyond our current limits is sometimes painful, but it seems to be the necessary prerequisite for attaining our heart's true desire. Many blessings on your own hatching and growing.
Find a time when you can be alone and undisturbed. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Listen to the sounds around you; become gently aware of the small niises that make up your world at this moment. Now bring your attention to the sound of your own breathing, the rhythm it makes as it enters and leaves your body. Together, these are the sounds your world makes.
Next, imagine that you are sitting inside a large egg. Imagine the smooth, curving wall, the gentle darkness, the way the egg fits you perfectly, enclosing you in a small universe. It is quiet and safe--the only world you have ever known., the only world you have ever seen. But you are growing....The eggshell is gradually becoming cramped and close. You become aware of an urgent desire to stretch...to expand...The walls are hard and thick.
You are impelled--through so mysterious force of soul--to push...to push hard...You need space to grow...The walls crack!
You push harder still. Perhaps you kick or hit the walls with your fists. Soon the wall begins to break open and you continue to push your way out.
The shell is sharp and scratchy; it can hurt to break out of the egg you are so used to being in. But you struggle...(make note of these struggles) ...suddenly, there is a vast, enormous vista before you, a world you never dreamed of, a spaciousness you never imagined possible. Look around and take in the sight...where will you go first...your excitement is one if complete awe and you continue to look at the huge expanse. There is unlimited room and potential for growth. Stretch yourself as fully as you can and feel the freedom all around you. Really allow yourself to feel the exhaltation of breaking free into something larger than the familiar. You will never again be able to fit back in that shell laying open and empty at your side.
Take a deep breath and open your eyes...immediately write down all that you have felt and seen...now is the time to explore the newness of your new world. It is limitless so reach out and ... Enjoy!!
