Meditation to connect with Venus of Willendorf
Lie or sit down in a comfortable position. Take three deep breaths, relaxing your whole body. Hold your intention in connecting to Venus of Willendorf. You could say this in your head three times, ‘My intention is to connect with Venus of Willendorf.’
Imagine you are standing outside a cave. This cave is where you will meet Venus of Willendorf, for this is her cauldron of creation, her womb. You enter the cave and slowly walk forwards. It is dark and cool, but it’s comforting. Even though you can not see you know you are safe to keep walking forward. You then stop as you feel this is the right place to and as soon as you stop you hear a voice. ‘Welcome child, I am Venus of Willendorf, the Mother of all. You are inside my womb, where everything is created. This is a place you can feel safe and secure. I will comfort you when you need it and help you through your self work.’ You do feel very comforted in this dark cave and you know you are safe. You reply to her and say ‘Thank you for connecting.’ You then sit down and start a conversation with her.
When you have finished talking to Venus of Willendorf, you thank her and make your way out of the cave. You know you can come back to this cave anytime and connect with her. When you are ready, take three deep breaths and come back to the room.
Write down your experience. What was she like? Did she appear to you and have a message for you? Did she answer your questions? How did you feel?
