My First Attempt to the Two Powers Meditation

Last night I actually had the chance to sit down and try the Two Powers Meditation. I have meditated on a regular basis for years now, but this was a new method, so I really had no idea on what to expect. I went into my room and put on a little music: Orphic Hymn to Dionysus. As the music started to fill the air in the room around me, I could fill my awareness start to shift.
     I started off with some deep breathing, in and out in and out. The air around me filling my lungs and stilling my mind. Finally I knew that it was time to begin. I seen The Earth Mother Gaia sitting before me, yet sitting with me at the same time. I could see the earth and it felt as if I was falling deeper and deeper. Finally I heard this deep rushing sound. I seen thick  roots surrounded by ice cold water, licking at the outside of the tree. The water slowly stared to rise up the trunk of the tree, higher and higher it climbed. Finally it started to rush into my sacral chakra, filling me with the mysteries of the earth. A cool sensation filled me as the waters of life moved up my legs, connecting me to the earth below.
     Then I felt the pull from above. High into the heavens I felt a tug. My true north, the divine influence that fills us all with inspiration. I seen a flame high in the sky slowly pouring its light out to me. As the light grew closer to my being I could feel the soft warmth of its light surround me. As the light finally reached me I could feel my crown chakra stir to life, wanting to be filled with the warmth of heaven.
     I could feel the cool damp energy of the earth fill me as it neared my sloar plenux. the energy of the earth was reaching out to the energy of heaven. They wanted to be joined, they feed off of each other. As the water from below and the fire from below interacted with each other, I could feel energy being sent forward from my body. The energy was reaching out to the world around me, changing everything it touched. I was connected.
    Shortly after the meditation was over, I started to contemplate the meaning of the meditation. It is my personal opinion that it was a veriation,where the participant acted in some was as the axis mundi. I could feel the deep mysterious powers of the waters of life, and the warmth and divine inspiration of the heavenly fire. I could feel how everything on earth is connected, all it takes is a little work. I look forward to practicing this meditation in the days to come, however, it is one that will help me understand the world around me and my part in the bigger picture.
