Introduction
Place a Malachite crystal to the South where you are sitting. Alternatively, you could hold the crystal – go with what works for you.
You may also wish to light a candle that can burn safely while you meditate, and have that to the South too. I associate the colour red with Fire and the South – but you could use green for the colour of Malachite – please go with what makes sense to you.
Sit in the middle of your circle facing South (preferably on a cushion or chair if you need back support, to avoid physical distraction from your meditation).

Settle yourself into a comfortable position and read through the meditation to familiarise yourself with it.
Remember to have a notebook and pen with you for taking notes afterwards.
THE MEDITATION
Sitting comfortably, facing South. Close your eyes and shift into a meditative state in your preferred way.
Imagine that there is a semi-circle on the floor that spans around you from West to East, your right side round behind you to your left. Visualise it as a dark line on the floor. Gradually visualise that arc rising over you, shrouding you in darkness, rising as a dome that covers you in a protective shell. It passes behind you, over you and slowly down in front of you until it gently touches the floor in front of you and you are completely contained within a dome.
Settle yourself into this safe stillness. Accept the silence and solitude. Focus on your breathing, with each breath inhale tranquillity and exhale tension. Breathe with your belly – allowing it to extend and contract. Rest your hands, palm down, underneath your diaphragm/rib cage and allow them to rise and fall with your breathing.
Slowly you sense another entity sitting with you. You don’t turn to look at them at first, but allow yourself to pick up on their energy. The entity is your will and your self-esteem – that part of you that responds to comments and criticism by others, and determines how you respond; that part of you that drives the choices you have made.

What is your gut reaction to their presence?
Allow yourself to look at the entity, and explore how it appears – accepting it with unconditional love.
As you do this, you sense a contraction in your belly – and the presence of a Divine force. The deity you work with; your Guardian/Guide has joined you, and also gazes at the entity. You sense their perception of your Will and self esteem, and of how you are measuring up to your soul’s purpose.
Your heart responds, and the contraction tightens, and you wish for release.
You ask for clarity, and to know the way forward. You are given a sign or symbol that you understand. You are told that it is your will that is making the contraction – holding onto something you need to be free from.
Accept your need to release that which serves you no purpose, and holds you back.
Take a deep breath in and again out – freeing your muscles from the contraction. Sense the release and the feeling of ease that slowly flows through you. Thank you Guide for their wisdom.
When you are ready, visualise the dome rising over you, slowly adjusting you to your everyday surroundings, and gradually come back to normal consciousness.
