Mediate. To reach a meditative state you can visualize all 7 colours of the spectrum, one by one. You can picture a rainbow, or a prism, or a pyramid of light.

7 is red, the colour of the rising sun - allow a red light to fill your psyche for a few moments.

6 is orange, the colour of the warm desert touched by the morning sun

5 is yellow, the colour of the noonday sun ~ remember to breath slowly and evenly and with each colour you are drifting deeper and deeper into blissful relaxation

4 is green, the colour of the vegetation growing in the sun

3 is blue, the colour of the clear sky

2 is indigo, the colour of the deep night sky that symbolizes the goddess veiled and hidden.

1 is violet, the colour of the heavens, of time and space and we drift out of the realm of earthly things to find harmony and peace.

Once you've reached a feeling of relaxation and empowerment affirm to yourself: "I am now in meditative awareness, where I see all is correct and balanced in accordance with the doctrine of the goddess Maat, goddess of the scales of harmony and justice, and of the goddess Isis, she upon whose breast I can rest my weary head and find peace and all-embracing love."

You can stay in meditation state for as long as you like. You can count backwards to awaken yourself but don't forget a libation to Isis. To libate is to return something to the earth. You can pour your milk out in your back yard or a city park.. or if that is too difficult you can keep a libation pot in your home, but make sure to give it fresh earth from time to time. You are now filled with divine energy and an internal calm. Try creating something you love after this ritual or confronting a problem you've been struggling with.
