The Golden Mirror Meditation

“Almost always it is the fear of being ourselves that brings us to the mirror.”

Antonio Porchia (Argentinian Poet; November 11th, 1885 ~ November 9th, 1968)

“I have used a special meditation I call the golden mirror meditation. I visualize in my mind an enormous mirror the size of a room, with an elaborately carved, 24-karat gold frame. This is my materializing mirror. Those dreams I wish to materialize in my life are first viewed here.”

“…whatever we visualize in our minds can come to pass in the physical world.”

“Today, find a few minutes to get quiet and journey within. Close your eyes. Visualize a beautiful, large golden mirror surrounded by shimmering white light. This light is Love and it surrounds you, enfolds you, enwraps you, and protects you as you look into the mirror. See the reflection of an extraordinary woman. She is beautiful and radiant. She possess a strong, healthy, vibrant aura. Her eyes sparkling and she is smiling warmly at you. Do you know who this woman is? You feel as if you have known her all your life. And you have. She is your authentic elf. Spend a few moments with her now. What is she doing? How is she doing it? Visit her as often as you like. She is waiting to help you find your way as you make the journey of self-discovery.”

“…there is never a time when you should hesitate to encounter the woman in the golden mirror. She is the highest reflection of your soul, the embodiment of the perfect woman who resides within and she sends you Love to light your path.”

“I watched my partner come a bit unraveled as he thought he had lost a podcast recording that he saved last week. Lot’s of under the breath cursing and angst. It bothered him all evening. My initial reaction was empathy and frustration for him. Then when he became a bit snarky, instead of owning his behavior, I just committed myself to nothing being wrong. In that space I was able to listen and support him in his moment. We ended up having a lovely evening relaxing with one another after a super meal. This was new for me. I often own and fret over others issues and that only leads to more stress for me. All emotions are okay…even frustration. So I let him be there and I stayed in the empathy/helpful space. Truly a big moment for me.” (Heather Houston 1-30-22)

“Today was a huge relief. I had a biopsy on Monday and today I received my histology results. Good new! I have no evidence of cancer. PHEW! During the 3-months it took to get to my 2nd mammogram and then finally to the biopsy, I was chronically worried a a low level. I also knew that worrying does no good at all. Each time the bubbles of worry came to the surface, I greeted the thoughts, acknowledged them and then pushed them to the side. Today’s news was a relief and felt great! I am pleased I didn’t stay in a high stress state for months and instead kept on LIVING.” (Heather Houston 1-30-26)

Chapter 9: Living In Gratitude

“Life is not that of a hierarchical chart, or a straight line where you go from start to finish, winner or loser. Life is a circle in which we attempt to get closer to that sacred place of spirit within us, which connects us to the sacredness of who we really are. This movement allows us to fulfill our sacred purpose, complete ourselves with a sense of harmony and peace, collectively move to a better place, where our relations are filled with more light, love integrity, respect, trust and dignity.”

“I am sacred and part of the sacred We of the universe.

I have a sacred purpose that is essential and interconnected to the universal sacred story.

I have sacred ancestral wisdom within me that guides and can re-ground me throughout my life.

I have sacred medicine and blessings in me that can heal others and myself, which I can share with the world.

I give thanks to the Creator, the ancestors, and all my relations Tlamish Tonatiuh (May the light of the Creator shine on you always.).“

“The secret to living well and longer is to eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure.”

Tibetan Proverb

Chapter 8: Living Sacredness As A Daily Practice

In Tloque Nahuaque: Sacred Connectedness

“This first sacred practice of sacred connection is taking time to honor the Creator, praying/meditating and connecting to your sacredness every day. …Do so in quiet, listening and paying attention to your inner voice. …In connecting with the Creator/God/Spirit, you are really honoring yourself, reconnecting, and plugging yourself in.”

“To strengthen your daily practice, it’s good to have a sacred space (alter) in your house or wherever you spend this sacred time. Have a sacred space that you use regularly, so that it collects this energy.”

Flor Y Canto: Living Your Life To Flower And Sing In Gratitude

“Give thanks and have gratitude for what you have, not what you don’t, for where you are and not where you want to be, or where you have been. Being grateful is a sacred energetic act. This practice is about watering what you want to grow. …But if you take a moment every day to be thankful, and express gratitude for what you have, who you are, and for those around you, then joy will surround you.”

Todo Se Paga: Be Of Service And Advocate For The Needs Of Others

“Serving others is a powerful way to grow, learn and heal. There is sacred medicine in service to others. After you take care of your own basic needs, do for others. …You will be surprised that in serving others, there is joy and healing that will be manifested.”

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Galatians 6:9

Ollin: Blessings And Abundance

” The Creator send us blessings in abundance, and people to help us every day. …Take off the limits, and recognize that there’s nothing wrong with being blessed with goodness of health, positive emotions, and comfort. …What I have found is that the more that you share, the more you receive. It’s the interconnected circle of giving and receiving, Ollin.

In Lak’ech – Tu’ Eres Mi Otro Yo – You Are My Other Me

“In essence, the concept speaks to our fundamental interconnectedness. When you hurt, we all hurt. When you heal, we all heal. When you grow, we all grow. And when you get closer to your sacredness, we all get closer to universal sacredness. Peace in the world starts one piece (peace) at a time, and each of us has a part to fulfill.”

Living Your Sacred Circle

“Intuition is a sacred gift you were born with, innate in every cell of your being. Follow it and allow your soul to carry out your highest expression of life.”

Melinda Rodriguez

“We all are born with a deep spiritual voice – that grandmother/grandfather spirit that give us signals when things are right or not. Blessings are a part of life that we deserve. If we can heal and move forward with a sense of face and heart in balance, then we can find peace in ourselves. When we arrive, there is a sense of face that looks backward but doesn’t live backwards, a sense of face that looks forward after having shed the need to know ‘why.’ releasing anger, resentment, and shame, and seeing fear as a teacher and not a bully in our lives. We must shed the anger and resentment, transforming the shame and fear so that we can once again live in happiness and harmony.”

“And finally, forgiving ourselves and others. The internalized sacred teachings also give us a heart that doesn’t lead by fear, but is guided by faith. It is a heart that allows us to pay attention to our intuition and the spiritual, ancestral-voice deep inside us. This allows us to continue along a path of integrity, hope, vision and the true fulfillment of our sacredness, allowing us to recover our sacred purpose.”

“The Creator and life’s teachers give us opportunities and the medicine to release those burdens and open a path for us to step into a new day. Grandfather sun has shined its light on you this new day to water today’s light in you. And I remind you that: today, right now, with all your dark and light, the light lessons that you carry and the shadow lessons that challenge you, you are sacred, you are a blessing, just the way you are.”

“The greatest wisdom is simplicity. Love, respect. tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It is not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It’s encoded in our DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart and you will find your way.”

“Surrender simply means keeping God’s will before your own.”

Radhanath Swami (Gaudiya Vaishnava Guru and Author; 1950)

Chapter 7: Surrender To The Creator In You

“As we move on this journey of life, we begin to recognize that life is a circle. It is a circle that can bring us many blessings and many gifts. Life is also a cycle. I describe circles as those things that create movement and connect us to our sacredness, and cycles are those things that stagnate and disconnect us. A cycle includes wounds and patterns that have come to us in painful or difficult ways… The circles are the elements of nature: the earth, water, wind, sun and moon that are always available to us; our positive ancestral teachings, values, traditions, and life enhancing relationships.”

“So now we move to the fourth lesson; one that is so significant for completing this circle of healing. It is the teaching of ‘Xochitl in Cuicatl,’ that of Flower and Song. This teaching points to us being able to surrender to the totality of who you are, past and present, and allowing your future to flower in growth and sing in beauty.”

“If we don’t get stuck in the old wounds and the expectations of what we thought should be, we can create life from whatever has been presented to us that can flower beautifully and sin g with joy. ..The practice of surrendering is one’s willingness to give up our need to control life’s journey, while knowing that there is a greater plan in place.

“You need to trust to surrender, to ask for guidance and go within for the answers. All you need to do is ask.”

Karen Hackel (Author; September 2nd, 1956)
