Visualization with Goddess Selene
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine yourself standing in a serene clearing on a warm summer night. The air is still, and the scent of wildflowers fills your senses. Above you, the sky is a vast canvas painted with twinkling stars.
As you gaze upwards, you notice a soft glow emerging on the horizon. Slowly, a chariot drawn by majestic white horses comes into view, its wheels silently turning as it traverses the night sky. In the chariot stands a radiant figure, her silver robes billowing in the gentle breeze. It is Selene, the goddess of the moon.
With a gentle smile, Selene guides her chariot across the heavens, casting a luminous glow that bathes the world below in her silvery light. You feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over you as her presence fills the air.
As you continue to watch, Selene's chariot reaches its zenith, the full moon hanging majestically in the sky. Its brilliance is mesmerizing, filling you with a sense of wonder and awe. You feel as though you are being wrapped in a warm embrace, surrounded by Selene's divine energy.
Take a moment to bask in the glow of the moon, allowing its light to penetrate your being and fill you with a deep sense of calm and clarity. Feel Selene's presence embracing you, offering guidance and protection on your journey through the night.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, carrying with you the peace and serenity of Selene's moonlit realm.
