It is the time of going deep within for transformation. Read through the meditation and then close your eyes and remember what you can. Go whereever your meditation leads you as you will be guided on your own path. Do let me know where your cavern leads in the comments, I am always curious how differently each of our meditations unfold.

Meditation: Cavern River
Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes. Find yourself at the edge of a cave. The cave is large. How do you feel about entering this large space? As you decide if you will enter, a guide walks out of the cave towards you. If this is a new guide for you, you can ask their name.
Your guide takes you by the hand and leads you into the cave just a bit. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, your guide tells you that you are safe, but need to feel a bit of discomfort for the transformation that is coming.
Your guide walks quickly ahead of you further into the darkness. You have to walk fast to keep up, as you fear you will lose sight of your guide in the dark. This means you occasionally scrape against the walls of the cave or stumble on the path. It seems like you are walking a long time as you struggle to keep up with your guide.
Your guide finally stops walking and turns you towards the room you are walking through. You are on a ledge above an underground river. The sound of the water is far below you but you are a bit disoriented in the dark. Light streams in from above in small pockets. You are a bit distressed by how narrow the ledge is that you have been hurrying on with your guide.
Your guide continues to walk but at a slower pace now. You listen to the water and with the echoing of the cavern you begin to hear voices in the sound of the water. You can't quite make out what they are saying.
Your guide then sits down on a natural bench in the wall of the cavern and motions for you to sit as well. Once you sit you listen again to the voices and this time you can hear what they are saying. It may just be a sound or a word repeated, or you may hear a full sentence or conversation between the voices in the water.
After you have listened you can ask your guide for further insight on what you have heard. After speaking with your guide, your guide rises and continues to walk along the path. The way becomes lighter and soon you are at another exit to the cave, very close to the cavern with the river. After you exit you ask your guide why you didn't just enter this way. Your guide states that you would not have heard the voices if you had simply entered in the light from this direction.
Thank your guide for their help and support. Walk away from the cave and begin to hear the sounds around your physical body. Feel where you are sitting or lying down and wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready, open your eyes.
Now it is time to really think about what you have learned before you lose it in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Use a journal to write the answers to the following or speak the answers aloud with others or just with yourself.
